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. 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 Rodial as of 3/8/2020. 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, etc.
How to Request a Product Review
I try to review all of the products that I can when I publish a list. Note, I am in the US and I only have access to US products. Please don’t be rude if I skipped your favorite cleanser, when items are out of stock sometimes they aren’t on the brand’s site, or maybe you are in Asia and I am in the US.
I reserve the comments on each post for reviews of product from that brand, this makes it easier for others to find products later. Please only ask about Rodial on this post, I will delete other product questions. You can find other brands here. If your brand is not included, please ask on the brand list post.

Not Safe for Pregnancy or Nursing
Note I’m including products with retinoids here, as those are a bit iffy. It depends on how conservative you want to be while nursing (still absolutely contraindicated while pregnant). Refer to my post on ingredients to avoid while nursing for more discussion.
There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.
• CBD Drops: CBD
• Retinol 10% Booster Drops: Retinoid, Bakuchiol
• Snake Bubble Masks: Retinoid
The products below have a new/novel ingredient for brightening the skin/treating hyperpigmentation (Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate). It works via a very similar mechanism to hydroquinone, which is recommended for avoidance in both pregnancy and nursing. I can not find any safety date for this ingredient. I would likely avoid it during pregnancy and nursing for this reason, but the decision is up to you. I have also mentioned additional ingredients of concern below.
• Pink Diamond Instant Lifting Serum
• Pink Diamond Magic Gel
• Pink Diamond Magic Night Gel: Retinoid
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!

Thank you very much!
I recently bought Venofye Products, was thinking about getting pregnant soon, so wasn’t sure whether to keep the package sealed till after my pregnancy. The main theme in the product line is Bee Venom. Its the last on the list of ingredients though, so I was wondering if it would be safe in small amounts?
The Cleanser ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl, Glycinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-150 Distearate, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Citric Acid, Sodium Cocoyl Amino Acids, 1,2-Hexanediol, Potassium Olivoyl/Lauroyl Wheat Amino Acid, Carbomer, Fragrance (Parfum), Fructose, Bee Venom
The Facial Peel : Aqua, Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Cocotrimonium Chloride, Hydroxyacetophenone, Phenoxyethanol, 1,2 Hexanediol, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, Bee Venom
I am also trying the red Led wand, I was reading about LED treatments being safe during pregnancy, but wanted your opinion on it..
Thanks!
There’s no information about bee venom, but I would have similar concerns to the snail secretion, you can read my thoughts on that here:
skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Otherwise, bot products look ok. But it’s up to you re: Bee Venom.
LED and lasers should be avoided during pregnancy. The thought is that you are actually damaging skin and releasing cytokines and such, the effects aren’t always just local.

Hi, I know most powders are okay but the one I use isn’t so I’m just being cautious. Can you tell me if the Rodial Banana Powder is ok?
TALC, MICA, OCTYLDODECYL STEAROYL STEARATE, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAISOSTEARATE, DIMETHICONE, POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE, SILICA, POLYMETHYLSILSESQUIOXANE, ZINC STEARATE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, HDI/TRIMETHYLOL HEXYLLACTONE CROSSPOLYMER, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE.

This is fine. All powders are fine.
Pregnancy Safe Makeup
Thanks! The powder I’m using now is Too Faced It’s Bananas and it has salicylic acid which is why I thought it to be unsafe.
There’s info in that post about powders and why you don’t need to worry about the ingredients in them. But if you’re going to worry about it too much, it’s not worth it to use a powder. I would just move to something else then.
How about Rodial dragon blood eye mask

Hello,
Is Snake serum drops safe for pregnancy?
Many thanks!
Aqua (Water), PEG-8 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Glycerin, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Parfum (Fragrance), Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Liquorice) Root Extract, Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract, Trideceth-9, Hydrolysed Wheat Protein, PVP, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Potassium Sorbate, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Lactic Acid/ Glycolic Acid Copolymer, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Phenylpropanol, Trisodium EDTA, Heptapeptide-15 Palmitate, Copper Palmitoyl Heptapeptide-14, Limonene, Linalool, Geraniol, Farnesol, Citral.
This has licorice root and glycolic acid, the Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate is a neuropeptide that does get absorbed and we don’t know how safe that is. For sure it isn’t safe in pregnancy, and it depends on if you want to use the neuropeptide while nursing or not.
Hi there, can I check if the pink lifting mask is ok for pregnancy:

Thank you!
I’m not certain if the Capsicum Annuum Fruit Meristem Cell Culture is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to chemical sunscreen
Hi! Do you have any updates about the Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate in the pink diamond instant lifting serum? It’s in a self-proclaimed “pregnancy safe” product I found on Amazon so just curious to hear your thoughts! TY!
I would likely avoid it as it’s similar to hydroquinone, but no new studies have come out.
