Pregnancy safe skincare can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products. The list has gotten so large that I’ve decided to start listing brands in their own individual posts.
Here you’ll find every pregnancy safe skincare product from M-61 as of 5/8/2019. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. If they release a new product that is not listed here, please comment below and I will add it. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.
Please note, it can take up to an hour to review the ingredient lists of each product. I review with my own list of pregnancy safe criteria. I obtain my ingredient lists from the brands and major retailers (typically Nordstrom and Sephora), and I review the US versions. Please do not ask me to re-review the same products over and over, I do not have the time to do so, and many people have been rude about this. For more brands, please head over to the list of pregnancy safe products.

Not Safe for Pregnancy or Nursing
Note I’m including products with retinoids here, as those are a bit iffy. It depends on how conservative you want to be while nursing (still absolutely contraindicated while pregnant). Refer to my post on ingredients to avoid while nursing for more discussion.
Bakuchiol has been called the “natural retinoid” which acts in the same ways. There’s no evidence that it is safe during pregnancy, and given the evidence against retinoids I recommend avoiding it as well.
• Hydraboost Line Reducer: Bakuchiol
• Powerspot Clear: Licorice Root, Salicylic Acid, Retinoid
• Powerspot Conceal: Licorice Root, Salicylic Acid, Retinoid
• Powerspot Mask: Bakuchiol, Willow Bark (Salicylate), Salicylic Acid, Malic Acid
• Vitablast C Scrub and Mask: Retinoid, Glycolic Acid
Hi! I am pregnant and wanted to purchase the m61 vita scrub which you have listed with retinoids. I don’t see any retinoids in the ingredients list but maybe I’m missing something. Can you please confirm? Thanks!
Towards the bottom, it’s the Retinyl Palmitate
Ah, I see it now thank you so much!!
Hi! I was curious if the hydraboost body butter gradual tan is safe to use?

No gradual/self tanners are safe for pregnancy. You need to avoid both erythrulose and dihydroxyacetone
