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 Ole Henriksen as of 7/15/2024. 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.

Hi! Your list of skincare products that are safe for pregnancy is SUCH a huge help! Thank you!!!!!! When you have a chance do you mind please checking OleHenriksen C-Rush Brightening Gel Cream? Below is the list of ingredients. I’m not sure in Panthenol is safe (I’ve seen it in some of my sheet masks so I’ve been avoiding it)
Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycerin, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Propanediol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Glycereth-26, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Hydroxyacetophenone, Panthenol, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Linoleic Acid, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum/Fragrance, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Xanthan Gum, Cetearyl Glucoside, Linolenic Acid, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Sodium Citrate, Camellia Japonica Flower Extract, Aroma/Flavor, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Sodium Phytate, Hyaluronic Acid, Vegetable Collagen, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopherol, Yellow 6 (CI 15985), Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Citral, Limonene, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol.
This is fine, Panthenol is a B vitamin and is fine in pregnancy
I agree with Ana! Thank you so much for doing this! I realized that the Ole Henriksen «Express the Truth Moisturizing Creme» with African red tea extract, vitamin C derivatives and jojoba seed oil, is also not on there. I just bought a huge bottle as I thought it was the newer version of the Truth Advanced Moisturizing Creme, but then I realized that they were two different cremes. These are the ingredients:
Aqua/Water/Eau, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethyl Macadamiate, Parfum/Fragrance, Glycerin, Triisostearyl Citrate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Palmitic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ceteareth-20, Carbomer, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Laurate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Sorbitan Stearate, Polysorbate 60, Sorbitol, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Hydroxide, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Vegetable Oil, Polyepsilon-Lysine, Caramel, Allantoin, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium PCA, Calcium Ascorbate, Magnesium Gluconate, Zinc Gluconate, Methylsilanol Mannuronate, Phenoxyethanol, Aspalathus Linearis Leaf Extract, Copper Gluconate, Myristic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopherol, Sorbic Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Malic Acid, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Limonene, Linalool.
Is this safe?
Thanks again! Love from Norway.
This is safe!
Hi. Can you please let me know if the Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge Pore Mask is safe?
Ingredients:
Water, Kaolin, Glycerin, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Bentonite, Cetearyl Alcohol, Lactic Acid, Lauramidopropyl Betaine, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Menthoxypropanediol, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Hydroxide, Salicylic Acid, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Sodium Chloride, Ethylhexylglycerin, Propanediol, Sodium Phytate, Xanthan Gum, Epilobium Fleischeri Extract, Saussurea Involucrata Extract, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Macrocystis Pyrifera (Kelp) Extract*, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract*, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract*, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract*, Tocopherol, Chromium Hydroxide Green (Ci 77289), Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891).
No, it isn’t due to the salicylic acid. Please note I’ve reviewed the entire line and only the safe products are included here.
Hello! Wow is this list a huge help! Thank you for putting it together. I tried to find out on my own with helpful info on your ingredients page but my scrambled egg pregnancy/mom to a toddler brain wants to make sure I’m not missing anything. I know they both have citric acid and because I am in my third trimester and it’s more toward the end of the ingredient list I am ok with that. Am I overlooking an ingredient that isn’t suitable for pregnancy? If so are these products suitable for nursing? Due in 3 weeks! Thanks in advance

Hi
Thank you so much for everything you do, I’m now breastfeeding and your site is still my favourite go-to, and now my friends too. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the safety of Ole Henriksen’s Transformation Plus Power Duo which consists of the Glow Cycle Retin-ALT Power Serum, and the Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Crème. I was told by someone that they were safe, but can’t find anything to support that.
Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Crème
Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycerin, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol, Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Potassium Hydroxide, Propanediol, Polysorbate 60, Panthenol, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Parfum/Fragrance, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Hydroxyacetophenone, Bakuchiol, Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract, Isohexadecane, Linoleic Acid, Peg-75 Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Polysorbate 80, Steareth-20, Ceteth-20, Linolenic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Enteromorpha Compressa Extract, Sorbitan Oleate, Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Sodium Phytate, Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Tocopherol, Violet 2 (Ci 60730), Red 4 (Ci 14700), Limonene, Linalool, Citral
Glow Cycle Retin-ALT Power Serum:
Aqua/Water/Eau, Squalane, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isododecane, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Mica, Coconut Alkanes, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Dilinoleic Acid/Propanediol Copolymer, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Cetearyl Methicone, Silica, Phenoxyethanol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Xylitylglucoside, Dimethicone/Vinyltrimethylsiloxysilicate Crosspolymer, Anhydroxylitol, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Stevioside, Polysilicone-11, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Xylitol, Tocopherol, Parfum/Fragrance, Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, Iron Oxides (Ci 77491), Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glucose, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Citrate, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Polysorbate 60, Sorbitan Isostearate, Ascorbic Acid, Aroma/Flavor, Sodium Chloride, Citral, Limonene, Linalool
Both have licorice root and bakuchiol, which is claimed to act just like retinoids, and I haven’t felt comfortable clearing that as safe given it does sound like it has the same mechanism of action.
Is the Truth serum correctly categorized? It is listed here as a chemical sunscreen but I thought it was a serum? Thanks.
This is the full ingredient list:
Full Ingredients List: Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, Oleth-20, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Parfum/Fragrance, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Benzophenone-4, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aroma/Flavor, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Disdodium Phosphate, Polysorbate 60, Yellow 6 (CI 15985), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Thioctic Acid, Calcium Ascorbate, Sodium Phosphate, Sorbitol, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Sodium Benzonate, Alcohol, Absoribic Acid, Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Threonate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Euphrasia Officinalis Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral, Limonene, Linalool.
The chemical sunscreen is bolded.
This discussion will help: Why did you say this product has sunscreen when there isn’t an SPF?
Hello Dr. Sorry to bother you once again. Can you please have a look at the new BANANA BRIGHT™ FACE PRIMER? Thanks a lot. This is a fantastic job you’re doing.

Thank you very much
Hi Dr.. i am looking for retinol substitute to fight wrinkles and found articles indicating bakuchoil is safe for BF.. and would like to try Ole Henrikson bakuchoil eye cream.. do you deem bakuchoil safe for BF?
Not necessarily.
My discussion on bakuchiol is under retinoids in here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
And I think (?) I have discussion on retinoids in nursing here: Skin Care Ingredients to Avoid While Nursing
I’ve confirmed that bakuchiol acts via the same receptors as retinoids. We have no actual safety data, those studies haven’t been done and won’t be done due to ethical issues. There’s been a strong trend in the medical world toward recommending avoidance of retinoids while nursing, though we don’t have evidence to back up that but it’s similar to other recommendations where we think there are real reasons for this rec.
As such. I recommend avoiding bakuchiol for both pregnancy and nursing. Ultimately it’s up to you. You should know there also isn’t a lot of info regarding benefits of bakuchiol currently, at least in the peer reviewed medical literature. If you really want to fight aging while nursing and want to be more conservative with your ingredients, I would look at peptides, vitamin C and niacinamide.
Many thanks for your prompt response! I hv one day to grab the sephora sale, so I’m really looking for something that can fight fine wrinkles under my eyes! I thought peptides are no no but if u say go for that i will!! Cn i suggest an article on what is safe for pregnancy and BF for antti aging (wrinkles)? That would really help us!!
Thanks again dr!!!
Peptides are fine. Everything to worry about is here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Hi. I followed the link to Truth advanced moisturizing creme. Sephora site says product not carried. Could you please verify if I could use this instead? OLEHENRIKSEN
C-Rush™ Vitamin C Gel Moisturizer
Water, Glycerin, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Propanediol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Glycereth-26, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Hydroxyacetophenone, Panthenol, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Linoleic Acid, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Xanthan Gum, Cetearyl Glucoside, Linolenic Acid, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Sodium Citrate, Camellia Japonica Flower Extract, Aroma/Flavor, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Sodium Phytate, Hyaluronic Acid, Vegetable Collagen, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopherol, Yellow 6 (Ci 15985), Yellow 5 (Ci 19140), Citral, Limonene, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol.
Yes, that moisturizer was recently discontinued actually. I’ve just left the link up so people can see it, but I’ll likely take it down soon.
This looks fine.

No, due to the retinoid it needs to be avoided in pregnancy for sure, and if you are conservative many would avoid during nursing as well.
Hello, you truly feel a toner like the Balancing Force Oil Control Toner: is unsafe even when salicylic isn’t a large ingredient and either are the others? It’s literally the only thing in the world that helps my cystic acne and I just found out I am pregnant.
Salicylic Acid in any amount is felt by the medical community to be an ingredient to avoid during pregnancy and is widely recommended to be avoided. There are some instances during which you could continue using it under your doctor’s supervision, but I am of the opinion that it should be avoided if possible.
Hello! Thank you so much for doing this. Might be a silly question but I’m going to ask anyways – the products listed in the safe for pregnancy would also be safe during nursing as well correct? Thank you again
Yes, pregnancy is the most restrictive. The list is ordered by Pregnacy and nursing safe, then only nursing safe (not pregnancy safe) and then not safe for either.

THe OleHenricksen has Gluconolactone and licorice root, so I wouldn’t use it while pregnant. Ok for nursing.
The Elizabeth arden has chemical sunscreens, also ok for nursing but not pregnancy
Which cleansing brushes are safe to use during pregnancy?
I am currently using the Opus Luxe from Nion Beauty. Do you know if this is pregnancy safe?
All the brushes are fine! 🙂
Thank you. You saved me hours.
Omggggg thank you so much for doing this!! This is amazingly pertinent info! I’m so glad I came across this as I just purchased the three little wonders (ole henriksen)! I will save the invigorating and sheer moisturiser for after I have given birth! Thank you 💞
Hi there,
Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Crème does not have retinol in it. It has Bakuchiol instead which my derm says is safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Just wanted to check why you listed it as not safe? Thanks
Please read the post above, I don’t say it has retinoid, instead it has Bakachiol, a natural ingredient the brand claims works just like a retinoid. There’s no information specifically about how this ingredient works, so I have been treating it like a retinoid. Note, we also don’t have any specific information stating that it is safe. It also has other ingredients to be wary of that many OBs say to avoid such as licorice root. I’m more conservative than other sources, this is likely because I’m a pediatrician, and I’ve also spoken with a large number of OBs so I have compiled the ingredients they are worried about here. It’s up to you.
Hi ! Thank you for this amazing list. I am wondering if this product is safe for pregnancy, the Ole Henriksen PHAT Glow Facial Mask, here are the ingredients:

I would avoid this in pregnancy due to the gluconolactone and licorice root. It’s ok for nursing though

Unfortunately this has gluconolactone and licorice root so is only nursing but not pregnancy safe.
Hello,
First off thanks so much for doing this. It can be so confusing and frustrating finding skin care and beauty products which are safe for nursing. 😪 I was wondering if you could give me some guidance on the Banana eye bright cream from Ole Hendriksen. I’ve been reading up and down the list and tried to compare the Ingredients with other Ole Hendriksen products but I can’t find an answer to whether it’s safe to use or not. I would appreciate it if by chance you could shine some light on this and help a very sleep deprived mommy out 😇🙏🏼 Here are the ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Isododecane, Coconut Alkanes, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Polyglyceryl-3 Rice Branate, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax, Cetearyl Alcohol, 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Glygerin, Dilinoleic Acid/Propanediol Copolymer, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Cocoyl Proline, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Polyacrylate-13, Mica, Polysorbate 20, Caprylyl Glycol, Titanium Dioxide (Cl 77891), Polyglyceryl-6 Ricinoleate, Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Polyglyceryl-3 Cocoate, Pheno-xyethanol, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Polyisobutene, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Parfum/Fragrance, Tamarindus Indica Seed Polysaccharide, Tocopheryl Acetate, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract.

Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycerin, Kaolin, Gluconolactone, Gluconic Acid, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Propanediol, Bentonite, Cetearyl Alcohol, Salvia Hispanica (Chia) Seed Oil, Betula Alba Juice, Glyceryl Stearate, Polyacrylate-13, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum/Fragrance, Pullulan, Polyisobutene, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Polysorbate 20, Hexylene Glycol, Sorbitan Isostearate, Tocopherol, Biotin, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Panthenol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Extract, Eriophorum Spissum Flower/Stem Extract, Chlorphenesin, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Sorbic Acid, Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, Ci 77499), Citral, Limonene, Linalool.
Not safe for pregnancy due to gluconolactone and licorice root, but ok for nursing. It’s above in the comments a few times.
Do you have any idea if the invigorating night treatment is safe? It says 12 source aha complex
Do you have an ingredient list?
Such a great and helpful post! Thank you ❤
Licorice root is safe for breastfeeding? Won’t it affect your supply? They say not to drink it but topically it is ok?
Topically licorice root is ok for nursing, but I would avoid while pregnant.
Is the truth c-rush brightening gel cream ok for nursing?
It’s here in the comments as ok for pregnancy and nursing

Hi Dr.! Thank you so much for all the work you do! I’m looking for a good vitamin – c and I like the truth serum but am a bit confused since your vitamin – c post is it safe for pregnancy and in the list of products under OleHenriks it’s not. Can I use it during pregnancy?
Here is a list of ingredients:
Ingredients
-True-C Complex: Formulated to help brighten the skin and fight visible signs of aging with stabilized vitamin C derivates and antioxidants.
-Collagen: Helps improve skin’s youthful-looking elasticity.
-Orange and Green Tea Extracts: Help nourish skin.
-Aloe Juice: Helps soften and condition skin.
Water, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Calcium Ascorbate, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Euphrasia Officinalis Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Oleth-20, Hydroxyethylcellulose, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Benzophenone-4, Sodium Hyaluronate, Thioctic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Fragrance, Yellow 6.
I thought I had removed it from the list there months ago (apparently it didn’t save the change? I just removed it again) but it’s in the comments there and here and also on that post (which I have now changed to bold to make it more noticeable, but it said this before), that in the case of a reformulation you need to always look at the brand page for the most up to date information. I can’t remember every post a brand might be mentioned in, and so I always say to check the brand page for the info, it is impossible for me to update every roundup.
This was very recently reformulated I think (or online ingredient lists were updated). So you would need to check your packaging to see if you have the benzophenone-4 or not. In this formulation it is only ok for nursing, not pregnancy.
Thank you so much for providing this list! Unfortunately I didn’t know Bnana Bright™ Vitamin C Serum Is not ok during pregnancy and I used it multiple times!! I’m so worried now, do you think what side effect it will have on my pregnancy?!
Likely it’s fine. I have info on these situations in this post:
pregnancy beauty FAQ
Hi! Thank you so much for this list! I’m glad I can continue with most of my skincare! I did have a question about the new formulation for the truth serum.

Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, Oleth-20, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Parfum/Fragrance, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Benzophenone-4, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aroma/Flavor, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Disdodium Phosphate, Polysorbate 60, Yellow 6 (CI 15985), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Thioctic Acid, Calcium Ascorbate, Sodium Phosphate, Sorbitol, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Sodium Benzonate, Alcohol, Absoribic Acid, Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Threonate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Euphrasia Officinalis Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral, Limonene, Linalool.
I redid the entire list above right after that. It’s no longer safe for pregnancy but it is fine for nursing, the Benzophenone-4 is a chemical sunscreen

Hi Doctor,
In regards to the above review of the new product “Truth Barrier Booster Orange Ferment Vitamin C Essence”, I see that the Canadian sephora website’s highlights:
-Fermented Orange Peel Extract: Helps nourish, condition, and refresh skin.
-Orange Stem Cells: Help provide antioxidant protection.
-Vitamin C (Ethyl Ascorbic Acid): Helps brighten and defend skin against pollution.
The ingredients are same as the above post:
Aqua/Water/Eau, Propanediol, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol,Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Niacinamide, Acetyl Hexapeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Carnosine, Ceramide Np, Ceramide Ap, Ceramide Eop, Collagen, Serine, Alanine, Glycine, Glutamic Acid, Lysine Hcl, Threonine, Arginine, Proline, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid, Sodium Pca, Sodium Lactate, Panthenol, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Betaine, Pca, Cyanocobalamin, Xylitol, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitylglucoside, Sorbitan Olivate, Carbomer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Laurate, Phytosphingosine, Cholesterol, Polysorbate 60, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Glycine Soja(Soybean) Oil, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Polysorbate 20, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, Sodium Phytate, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum/Fragrance*, Citral, Limonene, Linalool.
Do you know which ingredient might be the Orange Stem Cell? In that case, I guess we should avoid this product if we are or want to get pregnant? Thank you in advance for your time and help!
So, there’s nothing here that looks like a stem cell. There’s also nothing that’s related to an orange. The US Sephora site has the same list and called out ingredients.
Per the Ole website THIS is the list of ingredients, which is different than what Sephora has:
Aqua/Water/Eau, Lactobacillus Ferment, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Sodium Polyglutamate, Tocopherol, Glycerin, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (orange) Peel Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (orange) Callus Culture Extract, Citrus Sinensis (orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (orange) Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (lemon) Fruit Extract, Gluconolactone, Lithothamnion Calcareum Extract, Helianthus Annuus (sunflower) Seed Oil, Chondrus Crispus (carrageenan) Extract, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Citric Acid, Sodium Riboflavin Phosphate, Sodium Tocopheryl Phosphate, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Hydroxide, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Benzoate, Calcium Gluconate, Triethylhexanoin, Polyglyceryl-3 Laurate, Acrylates/c10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Triethyl Citrate, Limonene, Linalool, Citral.
*Naturally derived fragrance per iso standard 16128-1
It’s really odd that Sephora would have a different list up there, they’re usually very reliable for ingredient lists, but I try to review products based on what the brand says the ingredients are. I’ve added it to the post based on what the Ole site. I would consider it Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to the stem cells and gluconolactone.
These are the stem cells: Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (orange) Callus Culture Extract
I’m glad I asked! Thank you so much again for reviewing!!

Hello Doc,
Could you please help me have a look at Wonderful Double Cleanser? Is that safe? Thank you:)

Hello! The banana bright eye cream seems to have a formula change . Are these ingredients still ok? I wasn’t sure about it!

It’s fine!
Ole seems to leave the “new formulation” designation on their site for over a year. When a product has a new formulation Sephora actually changes the page to a new URL and my links stop working (this is super helpful actually!), and my link is still working. I also checked the list you provided, and it’s fine. But every time I redo Ole’s list their most popular products all say “new formulation”…. I think they have a different definition of new than you and I do 🙂

Hi Dr. General question,
Above you have some products listed as nursing safe that have glycolic acid and licorice root, then below you have products listed as not pregnancy or nursing safe that have “Bakuchiol, Stem Cells, Glycolic Acid, Licorice root”, are these no longer nursing safe too because of the bakuchiol and stem cells? or also the glycolic and licorice root?
Thanks
It’s due to the bakuchiol, which acts the same way as a retinoid. Stem Cells should be avoided in pregnancy but are ok for nursing.
I’m curious about the new dewtopia 25% acid facial?
