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 Rimmel as of 8/24/2019. 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 refer to my post on pregnancy safe makeup, where I explain why you don’t need to worry about your mascara, powders, eyeliners, brow products, etc. I do not review these products.
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.

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!

Looks ok!
Hello!
Please can I ask if pregnancy safe applies to all Rimmel provocalips applies colours?
Thank you!
Yes, I checked all of the shades unless otherwise indicated. This is true for all of the brands
Hi the Rimmel stay matte mousse foundation says not safe for pregnancy, chemical sunscreen but I don’t see that it has spf in it at all so I’m confused? Thanks
A lot of products include chemical sunscreens to prolong product stability and therefore shelf life, but they don’t include enough to bother going through the expensive testing needed to be able to proclaim SPF value.
In this product it is ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, that’s one of the more common ingredients used for this purpose.
Thanks in advance!
