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 One Love Organics as of 12/22/2021. 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.
You can find One Love Organics at a lot of stores, I’ve included links to 3 below, but they’re also at DermStore.

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!
Hi, OLO posted in the comments for the Skin Savior product that mango butter is naturally rich in Vitamin A. You did put this product in the safe category, but do you have any further recommendations for products with mango butter being safe or not in pregnancy? Thank you!
It’s fine. Extracts, fruits, etc that are high in natural vitamin A aren’t something you need to worry about in pregnancy. Topical application is a lower level of exposure than ingestion for example, and we still allow that. The vitamin A chemicals that are naturally occurring in them are different than retinoids.
Hi There!
Can I make the assumption that anything that is safe for pregnancy is going to be safe for nursing across all brands?
Thank you,
Neg
Yes, pregnancy is the most restrictive time. Everything that works for pregnancy is also ok for nursing.
Thank you so much for your time and quick response. 🙂
Hi do you know if the one love organics love and eye bright serum is safe for pregnancy and/or nursing?

Looks ok for both pregnancy and nursing
Hi Christine,
I see the Easy Does It Cleanser on the list but I’m not sure if the Easy Does It Foaming Cleanser has the same ingredients. Would you please take a look?
Thank you!

I’m not certain if the Leaf Cell Extract is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to salicylic acid
Thank you!
I saw that the Skin Dew Coconut Water Cream was listed under safe for pregnancy, but it appears to contain Salicylic Acid. This wouldn’t be safe correct? Here is the updated ingredient list as of Sept. 2022:
aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice*, water/eau, caprylic/capric triglyceride**, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil*, theobroma grandiflorum (cupuacu) seed butter*, cetearyl alcohol, jojoba esters, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed wax, xylitylglucoside, cetearyl glucoside, citrullus vulgaris (watermelon) seed oil, cocos nucifera (coconut) fruit juice*, cocos nucifera (coconut) pulp extract*, laminaria ochroleuca extract, acacia decurrens flower wax, tocopherol, glycerin, sclerotium gum, xylitol, polyglycerin-3, anhydroxylitol, sodium phytate, silicon dioxide, maltodextrin**, benzyl alcohol, salicylic acid, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate
*Ingredients from Organic Farming 56% of total; 70% organic ingredients, excluding water and salt
**Made using organic ingredients
Thank you in advance!
Their website says they just reformulated it, and you can see I last reviewed in Dec 2021. So, it’s not safe. I’ve moved it down.
Thank you!
Also, their site mentions that pumpkin is a natural form of salicylic acid, is this similar to Vitamin A in fruit form, where it’s safe to use? Apologies in advance for the confusion. This is the excerpt from
The Gardenia Tea Mist: “ Pumpkin seed oil, a natural source of salicylic acid, lightly exfoliates, refines and smooths the appearance of skin”
Pumpkin isn’t considered a “natural form of salicylic acid”, I’ve never heard of that honestly and I’ve never thought of pumpkin as an exfoliator. You only need to worry about it when it’s in Willow Bark, which has a high amount.
Thank you!
