Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Mad Hippie

April 11, 2019

Which products from Mad Hippie are ok to use when you are pregnant?

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 Mad Hippie as of 4/11/2019. 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.

Pregnancy Safe Products from Mad Hippie

• 2-Minute Polishing Mask
• Cleansing Oil
• Cream Cleanser
• Eye Cream
• Face Cream
• Facial SPF
• Hydrating Nutrient Mist
• Vitamin C Serum

Not Safe for Pregnancy, Ok for Nursing

• Exfoliating Serum: Stem Cells, Glycolic Acid

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.

There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis or Hemp used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well. Note Hemp does not have THC in it, it’s breed out of the plant basically. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using hemp while nursing or pregnant for that reason.

• Vitamin A Serum: Retinoid
• Antioxidant Facial Oil: Hemp oil

Read this before commenting to ask about your product

If you have questions about pregnancy safety in skincare or makeup, please follow these guidelines. I have answered thousands of questions, and checking in the right spot means you are more likely to find your answer immediately.

Ask in the right spot

The entire Pregnancy and Nursing Skin Care Guide has links to the posts, this is a good place to start if you are confused. If you have a question about ingredients to avoid while pregnant or nursing, please ask on those posts. If you have a question regarding a specific product, please start on the big list of pregnancy safe beauty brands where you'll find brand specific pages (these posts include makeup). If your brand is not included, feel free to ask on the page itself.

Please provide information

Please understand that I only have so many hours a day, many products have similar names and ingredients may vary by country. Please provide an ingredient list if you are asking about product safety. I will not answer you unless you provide an ingredient list.

Please try to limit yourself to a few products.

Please be respectful

I live in the US and have screened products available here, mostly through the brands websites. I have been treated very poorly by some international readers who seem to think I have skipped their favorite cleanser just to spite them. Sorry, I didn't know that cleanser existed! Please be kind and thoughtful.

    Hi!
    I’ve read that pregnant women should avoid Clary Sage oil until labor and the Vitamin C Serum contains clary sage oil. Is it safe to use because it is so diluted? I have some of the serum and want to use it but I’m nervous to. Thanks!

        would you say it’s better to continue using pregnancy safe products only for breastfeeding ? to be on a safer side ?

          It’s always better to be more restrictive with what you’ll expose the baby too, or potentially expose. And if you have a skincare routine that is pregnancy safe and working for you, no need to rock the boat!

            Here’s my typical blurb about Hemp/Cannabis products:
            There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well. Note Hemp does not have THC in it, it’s breed out of the plant basically. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp/Cannabis while nursing or pregnant for that reason.

            Otherwise I don’t see anything of concern here

    hi,
    Thank you so much for the review. Your site is really helpful.
    Mad Hippie cream cleanser has Sodium Hyaluronate as an ingredient. Is it safe to use while pregnant or nursing ? Just wanted to confirm before I use it. Thank you so much for your help.

    Hi Dr,
    I’ve been using the Exfoliating serum from Mad Hippie for 6 weeks at night time (not really every night) as it was a suggestion from a beauty blogger online, she was using it while she was pregnant.
    I am now 16 weeks pregnant. Could you please tell me what will be the worst case happen to my baby? I definitely stop using it from now on.
    Thank you Dr.

      Unfortunately there are people out there recommending products that aren’t safe during pregnancy, there’s one fashion blogger in particular (married to a doctor!) that just had a baby and it took everything I had not to write her an email to stop recommending sunless tanner and retinoids!
      I have a little write up for what to do/worry about if you have been using an unsafe product during pregnancy, it’s in my pregnancy beauty faq.

    Is the vitamin C serum and cream facial cleanser safe while breastfeeding as well? My baby is 3 weeks old.

      anything safe for pregnancy is also safe for nursing, but not the other way around. Pregnancy is much more restrictive than nursing.

    I use the Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum but it has Konjac root which is also outlined on your list of ingredients to avoid. Has this been updated and is it still safe to use? Thank you!
