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 pregnancy safe products from Pixi Beauty as of 6/24/2019. 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.
Please note, it can take up to an hour to review the ingredient lists of each product. I review with my own list of pregnancy safe criteria. I obtain my ingredient lists from the brands and major retailers (typically Nordstrom and Sephora), and I review the US versions. Please do not ask me to re-review the same products over and over, I do not have the time to do so, and many people have been rude about this. For more brands, please head over to the list of pregnancy safe products.

July 17, 2019 at 10:41 pmPixi has a new jasmine retinol line, which obviously means none of it can be used if you’re pregnant. But I thought I would mention it 🙂

July 18, 2019 at 5:48 pmYes! Adding it to my list is on my to do list, somehow the list is growing bigger exponentially LOL

October 16, 2019 at 3:49 amI’ve been using the Correction Concentrate + I’m now 10 weeks pregnant. I’m shocked to discover it contains retinoid as it’s make-up rather than skincare. Obviously I don’t intend to use it again. But as it’s Retinyl Palmitate rather than Retinol, does that mean it’s not as strong? It was the bottom of the ingredients list. Worried about the consequences of using this. I’d meticulously checked all my skincare before getting pregnant!

October 16, 2019 at 3:44 pmIt’s not as strong, but there’s still a theoretical risk so we recommend avoiding it. I have more info about this kind of situation in my pregnancy beauty FAQ
