   Hi Dr. !

   “One Cream” has squalane in it. Is it still pregnancy safe?

     I have already reviewed all products in this brand that I have access to their ingredient list, please refer to the post about how to request a product review. I need a full ingredient list to review your product, more info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety. I do NOT follow links from readers as people have tried to hack me that way.

   Hi! Thanks so much for compiling these lists. I just bought the maelove bundle with the glow maker, nia 10 and the hydrator B5/HA. The hydrator one has a different label than what is pictured on the website and it reads that it is with “panthenol (looks like that’s just B5) and Resveratrol” in it. I wasn’t sure if this was an ingredient change or if this was listed in the original review of the products when you looked them up in December. I just wasn’t sure if Resveratrol was safe. Thanks so much in advance!

     They just changed labels, that’s all. Both of those ingredients are fine.

         Avoid in pregnancy and nursing due to the arbutin and kojic acid. I would also avoid the licorice root while pregnant.

     Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to licorice root
     note, this list doesn’t have the sunscreens, but regardless it would be in the same safety category.
