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 Rare Beauty as of 1/27/2022. 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.

hello, i was just wondering for the liquid touch weightless foundation the ingredients phenoxyethanol and dimethicone are suppose to be bad for pregnancy. how is is considered safe?
You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. Neither are considered ingredients to avoid by the medical community (dimethicone in particular just sits on the surface of the skin and isn’t absorbed). My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

Is phenoxyethanol a safe ingredient? I notice it’s in a lot of things like makeup and lotion. I read it’s not? Can you clear this up for me?
Thanks!!! Would help me out a lot!
The primer is fine for pregnancy and nursing.
