Pregnancy safe beauty products 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 pregnancy safe products from Medik8 as of 2/2/2021. 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 refer to my post on pregnancy safe makeup, where I explain why you don’t need to worry about your mascara, powders, eyeliners, brow products, etc. I do not review these products.
How to Request a Product Review
I try to review all of the products that I can when I publish a list. Note, I am in the US and I only have access to US products. Please don’t be rude if I skipped your favorite cleanser, when items are out of stock sometimes they aren’t on the brand’s site, or maybe you are in Asia and I am in the US.
I reserve the comments on each post for reviews of product from that brand, this makes it easier for others to find products later. Please only ask about Medik8 on this post, I will delete other product questions. You can find other brands here. If your brand is not included, please ask on the brand list post.

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
