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 PCA Skin as of 8/7/2024. 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.

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!
Curious why you have the Pigment Bar under not safe for pregnancy or nursing. I keep seeing articles from various skincare companies and bloggers that Kojic Acid is very safe to use during pregnancy.
I have more information about specific ingredients in my ingredients to avoid during pregnancy, but as Kojic Acid works very similarly to hydroquinone, all the dermatologists and OBs I have spoken with feel that it should be treated like hydroquinone and avoided during both pregnancy and nursing.
Note, companies have a different take on ingredients during pregnancy. Some will view everything as a liability and say to avoid everything, but others just want to sell you thinks and will state that everything is safe, when clearly not everything is. As a physician, I discuss with other physicians, read the literature, etc. There isn’t much out there specifically on Kojic Acid, but that doesn’t mean that it is safe. We know that it has a similar mechanism of action to Hydroquinone and we know it is absorbed. There’s a theoretical risk there that we can never really study, as the needed studies would be unethical to perform. Instead it is easier to tell people to avoid use during this time. If you really need to treat hyperpigmentation, you can do so with vitamin C, which is pregnancy safe.
Got it! And what about Niacinamide?
That’s also fine for pregnancy and nursing
Is the Daily Cleansing Oil safe?
https://www.pcaskin.com/daily-cleansing-oil.html
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, Isopropyl Isostearate, Tocopherol, Fragrance, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Retinyl Palmitate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Glycerin, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Triethyl Citrate, Cornus Ofcinalis Fruit Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Pimpinella Anisum (Anise) Fruit Extract, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Extract, Cucumis Melo Cantalupensis Fruit Extract, Dipteryx Odorata Seed Extract, Gardenia Jasminoides Fruit Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract.
Sorry, this has a retinoid. Avoid it during pregnancy for sure and while nursing if you are conservative.
Just wanted to double check the Collagen Hydrator because it has Alkyl Benzoate and I wanted to make sure that had nothing to do with Benzoyl Peroxide! Here is the full list of ingredients:
Shea butter – softens the skin and maintains moisture without greasiness.
Sweet almond fruit extract – adds a smoothing film to the skin that firms while infusing nutritive benefits.
Olive fruit oil – a rich source of powerful antioxidants to protect the skin.
Water/Aqua/Eau, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Isopropyl Palmitate, Butryrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glycol Distearate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, Tocopherol, Xanathan Gum, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium EDTA
Nope, it’s fine 🙂
Hi! Is the PCA Hydrating Serum Safe during pregnancy? See ingredient list below. Thank you!!!
Ingredients
Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, Sodium Polyacrylate, Sodium PCA, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sodium Lactate, Gluconolactone, Sodium Hyaluronate, Wheat Amino Acids, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Panthenol, Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract, Saccharomyces Lysate Extract, Hydroxyproline, Fructose, Glycine, Inositol, Niacinamide, Urea.
Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to gluconolactone
What’s the issue with gluconolactone? I can’t find much about it, but have read that it’s safer than bother salicylic and glycolic acid?
It’s a polyhydroxy acid, so similar to an AHA/BHA but it penetrates further into the skin and likely is more absorbed systemically. It’s thought to be less irritating so likely the source of the “safer” online, but there’s no info regarding pregnancy safety.
Hi! I didn’t see anything about Dual Action Redness Relief serum. Is it safe? Thank you for your time!
Ingredients:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Isododecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Niacinamide, Dimethicone, Glycerin, PEG-12 Glyceryl Dimyristate, Tapioca Starch Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethyl Sulfone, Pentylene Glycol, Polysilicone-11, Panthenol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, PEG-23 Glyceryl Distearate, Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Bisabolol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Ceramide NP, Xanthan Gum, Chlorphenesin, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Sodium Citrate, Trideceth-6, Disodium EDTA, Decyl Glucoside, Aminomethyl Propanol.

Thank you for creating this.. I was trying to search by ingredients and got super confused lol. I have oily acne prone skin and have been using the PCA facial wash and clear skin moisturizer. Do you have any advice on what PCA products would work best and are safe for me? Thanks so much!
I would likely use something gentle like the Daily Cleansing Bar, add in the Skin Revitalizing Mask a few times a week, and Pore Minimizer Skin Mattifying Gel if you’re really shiny. ReBalance is great for night, but I’m not sure if it would be too hydrating during the day? The problem with oily skin is that sometimes it is actually dried out skin, and the skin is ramping up oil production in an effort to improve hydration.
What about the limited edition C+E Antioxidant Treatment with 20% L-ascorbic acid, 5% tocopherol?

Hello,
The Nutrient Toner is listed as pregnancy safe. However, on the PCA skincare website under ingredients is the following:
Pumpkin wine – produced by fermenting whole pumpkin, this ingredient offers the nutritional benefits of pumpkin, including vitamin A and vitamin C.
Is the vitamin A in this safe because it’s from feremented pumpkin?
Info here: I see X ingredient in the key ingredients on the website, why are you ignoring it?
Hi, thanks for the great advice above, may I check. the product PCA pigment bar is listed as unsafe in pregnancy and nursing as it contains kojic acid? However on checking other sites they list kojic acid as pregnancy safe..so a bit confused…do hope you can clarify, thanks!

Hi there! Thank you so much for all of this info. I am hoping to get pregnant within the next year and find some ease in planning ahead. This is so great and helpful! I noticed the PCA hydraluxe intensive hydration cream was on the not pregnancy safe or nursing safe list. To my knowledge this product does not contain retinoids, but I was wondering if it actually does have retinoid and I did not know, or this was an accident, maybe even a different product you have listed? If it is a different product do you mind checking this one please? THANK YOU!!!!
