Pregnancy safe skincare 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 every pregnancy safe skincare product from Paula’s Choice as of 4/20/2019. 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.
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 Paula’s Choice 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.

Thanks so much for this list! Paula’s Choice has just released a new serum in the Earth Source range – Power Berry Serum. I was wondering whether this was pregnancy safe?
I just added it to the list above! It has licorice root, so it falls under ok for nursing, but not for pregnancy.
Hi,
Ive read that alot of web sites say glycerin is not safe for pregnancy, what is your thought on this ingredient, alot of my skincare has this.
Thank you
That’s a new one to me. I’m of the opinion that it’s safe and I haven’t had it mentioned to avoid by any sources that I trust.

Hi! Is Paula’s Choice Smooth Finish Conditioner safe for pregnancy? Here are the ingredients:
Water, Cetyl Alcohol (emollient), Cyclopentasiloxane (hair softening), Behentrimonium Chloride (anti-static hair conditioning agent), Stearyl Alcohol (emollient/texture-enhancing), Phenyl Trimethicone (hair smoothing agent), Butylene Glycol (texture-enhancing), Panthenol (hair conditioning), Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein (hair conditioning), Glycol Stearate (emollient/texture-enhancing), Polyquaternium-10 (emollient/texture-enhancing), Citric Acid (pH adjuster), Disodium EDTA (chelating agent), Phenoxyethanol (preservative), Chlorphenesin (preservative), Sorbic Acid (pH adjuster).

They’re fine, but note since conditioner only goes on the hair shaft (which can’t absorb anything, it’s mostly dead cells and protein) you don’t need to worry about it
Thank you! I should have mentioned, I also use my conditioner as shave lotion in the shower, and I do sometimes put it on my scalp (if it’s dry), so my conditioner does come in contact with a fair amount of my skin. Still ok when pregnant?
Ha! Ok, yes I get it then. 🙂 And yes, still works!
Thank you!

I have seen conflicting things about pregnancy and astragalus root, but noticed you have given the okay to products with it in the ingredients. Is it just not recommended to take orally during pregnancy? Thanks!
I’ve never heard even to avoid eating that while pregnant.
Dear Doctor,
You listed Paula’s Choice – C15 Super Booster – 20 ml and Paula’s Choice – Resist Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum – 30 ml as safe products during pregnancy, however they both have Ferulic Acid as one of the ingredients. I’ve read that this ingredient is better to avoid during pregnancy. Can you please let me know what do you think about that?
I think it’s fine. Here’s the list of what I screen out: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
