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 Purlisse as of 3/8/2022. 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.

Hi Dr, I see above this is listed as not pregnancy and nursing safe? Maybe you can clarify the sunscreens in these are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, aren’t these physical sunscreens and are safe? I’ve listed other products with these ingredients in them before and you have told me they are safe. I’m just wondering more on the sunscreen front? Where is the chemical sunscreen in this? Thanks!

The lists always say which ingredients are an issue. This is one to avoid in both pregnancy and nursing due to the Arbutin. Bakuchiol they discuss it a LOT on the page, I don’t see it listed in the full ingredients which make me think one or the other is off. But Bakuchiol I screen as a retinoid, so you need to avoid that also in both pregnancy and nursing.
Re sunscreens, yes zinc and titanium are both pregnancy safe, but there are often chemical sunscreens included also. In this case the #2 ingredient after water is Homosalate, which is a chemical sunscreen.
Awesome, Thanks so much!
I don’t see anything about the Yuzu + orange moisturizer in any catergory. Is this safe to use in pregnancy?
As mentioned in the post, I need a full ingredient list to review your product as I’ve reviewed all of the ones I have access to. More info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety. Note, I do not follow links from readers, I need the actual list. Thanks!
That’s too bad for the Perfect Glow BB cream. They must have changed their formula because the one I had used before had active ingredients of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for SPF. Not sure if ethylheyxl methoxycinnamate is okay though.
No, that’s a chemical sunscreen.
