   Hi Doctor.
   Thank you for all your time and efforts compiling these lists, they have been my go to! I was advised at the beginning of my pregnancy that Bakuchiol was safe and have been using the Medik8 serum. I’ve just seen it in list of ingredients to avoid and feeling very worried. How dangerous is it?
   Thank you!

     There are a lot of unknown things with bakuchiol, I have some discussion here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
     We really don’t know how danger it is, but I recommend avoiding it until we have more info. There’s some discussion here: You’ve been using a product with a “bad” ingredient
