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 Pipette as of 1/10/2022. 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!
Hello Doctor! Thank you again for all this valuable information. Now that I am getting closer to the baby arriving, I’ve been researching more about safe products for the baby. I read your post about the baby kit (so so helpful!). I came across this Pipette brand recently. I wonder if you have brand recommendations for baby products like shampoos, soaps, SPF, etc? Just picking your brain. Thank you so much on advance!
I recommend avoiding things with a lot of extracts, babies tend to have reactions to things, fewer and gentler ingredients!
My recs that I tell moms when I’m working in the newborn nursery:
– Johnson’s Head to Toe wash is fine, the lavender version has a lot of perfumes. Cetaphil face wash is also great to use all over baby.
– We recommend avoiding lotions/creams on baby. All babies will be dry all over and it will peel off. Adding lotion to it makes this process take longer. You shouldn’t need to use a cream most of the year after that, especially if you have a humidifier. If you feel really compelled to do so, I recommend cetaphil cream or aquaphor.
– Laundry detergent is a BIG deal for babies. Go for a “free and clear” version, I use All, but Tide also makes one. Dreft is marketed as the baby detergent, but is is very heavily perfumed and the source of many rashes. Avoid perfume at all costs!
– I don’t have an SPF rec, your pediatrician will likely have one. You can’t start until 6 months, and then you should look for a mineral version instead of chemical sunscreen (again, they get rashes). All of the pregnancy safe sunscreens will be fine for baby. I usually used Aveeno or Blue Lizard for my girls when they were that little.
I hope that helps!
Thank you so much Dr. Christine! This was truly an indepth response and very helpful reference for when the baby is born. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Have a wonderful day!
