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.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from Mielle Organics as of 12/13/2021. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.
Don’t See Your Product? Read This Before You Ask About It…
Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines or are rude.

I’m a doctor, a mommy and a bit of a beauty addict. If you let me, I can take 2 hours to get ready in the morning. Really. I'm on a quest for faster beauty that works!
Oh my God! I’m absolutely in love with your blog. I literally read your lists before buying anything. One thing I do want to ask is if there is any affordable acne medication or spot treatment for pregnant ladies. I’ve been struggling with cystic acne throughout the pregnancy and the doctor prescribed me differin spot treatment. As soon as opened the package the first thing it said was “do not take if pregnant or breastfeeding” and now I don’t know what to do. Thank you!!
Differin I definitely would not take. I have a post on acne during pregnancy that I need to update, but I would check out the acne products from Belli Beauty, which is specially made for pregnancy.
Thank you so much! I will be checking it out.
I’ve been using the rosemary mint strengthening oil my entire pregnancy at 11 weeks. Very worried now. Can this hurt my baby?
Info here: You’ve been using a product with a “bad” ingredient
Hi,
Thank you so much for your wonderful blog! So amazingly informative!
I am 4 months PP and breastfeeding, and the hair loss is TERRIBLE! I did some research and came across “Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil” as very promising; but then came to cross check with your blog and low and behold it’s not safe while nursing. Any recommendations for an alternate product?
Thanks so much!!!

I would make sure you’re addressing all forms of breakage, are still taking a prenatal vitamin, and if it seems particularly bad then I would talk to you doctor about having some basic labs checked to look for anemia and look at your thyroid.
Vegamour also has a hair growth serum that isn’t safe for pregnancy but IS safe for nursing 🙂
I bought the Rosemary Mint Strengthening Hair Masque to try while pregnant since I’m unable to try the Oil. Upon further research, I’ve found conflicting information about using rosemary oil while pregnant – mainly that it can cause contractions?
You need a huge amount of rosemary for that to happen, so much that we still let you eat it while pregnant (which is a much bigger exposure than applying to your skin). Some discussion here: ingredients I’m not worried about during pregnancy
Thank you! 🙂
I’m curious as to what the retinoid is in the rosemary mint strengthening oil. I keep reading and re-reading the ingredients list and can not locate the retinoid. Please help.
These are the ingredients:
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Eucalyptus Globolus (Eucalyptus) Leaf Oil, Menthol, Melalueca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Benzyl Nicotinate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Biotin, Arctium Lappa (Burdock) Root Extract, Glycerin, Apium Graveolens (Celery) Seed Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D), Ascorbic Acid, Ocimum, Basilicum (Basil) Oil, Pogostemon Cablin (Patchouli) Oil, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, Silica, Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Extract
The retinoid is the Retinyl Palmitate
Hello! So glad I came across your site as it has been super helpful. I’ve been re-reading the ingredients on my Mielle Rosemary Mint Hair Strengthening Oil and the retinyl palmitate is not listed on the bottle anywhere. I recently purchased it (September 2022). I see their site says that it contains it, but my bottle does not list this ingredient at all. Should I assume that the ingredients listed on the bottle that I have are correct?
Thank you for responding! The two bottles I have at home do not have this ingredient. I sent an inquiry to the company, and they confirmed that rosemary mint strengthening oil had been reformulated without Retinyl Palmitate. Would it now be safe?
If it’s not on your bottle then it should be ok I think!
