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 Alastin as of 9/28/2024. 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.

Hello. The restorative skin complex has Silver Mushroom (Tremella). I’ve read this is not safe for pregnancy and nursing?
You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. It’s not considered an ingredient to avoid by the medical community. My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Hi! I am curious to get your thoughts on the ingredient “Plankton Extract.” I noticed it is in the ingredient list for a new Alastin product, the A-Illuminate. is that ingredient ok to use in pregnancy?
It’s fine.
Hello, on another page on your blog you called out ingredients that you would be cautious of, neuropeptides being one of them. The alastin restorative skin complex has many peptides in it. Would you classify these as “safe” or what you would “be cautious of” as stated in your other post? Thank you. 🙂
you wrote: “Things I have some concerns about, but I’m not currently screening out
There are some ingredients that I don’t have enough information about to currently screen out, but I’m a bit leery of and I occasionally look into them to see if I need to start screening them out.
• Neuropeptides: These are ingredients that are said to work like “botox in a bottle” and are known to absorb into the skin in order to work. It isn’t a big leap to say they’re likely circulated throughout the body, and who knows how it would affect a baby?”
I wrote that a few years ago, and you’ll notice I’m not currently screening them out. I’ve talked to other physicians and they feel the risks are minimal given the half life of the chemicals (the natural correlates last at the most seconds in our bodies), and that they feel the chemicals stay pretty local. I’m still wondering how long they really last and I’m not sure how far they do travel, but I haven’t started screening these chemicals out.
What about the Restorative Skin Complex? I see it in the picture but not the list so just want to confirm. TY!

Hi!
I used to use the ultra light moisturizer but it was on the not safe for pregnancy list, so I stopped. Was this updated recently?
Thanks!
The date the entire list was redone is in the post
I started using the ultra light because you had it listed as safe. However when I reviewed the ingredients, it says it is not due to licorice root: “Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate” See ingredients below:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, Potassium Olivoyl Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Ceramide NP, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone, Squalane, Dunaliella Salina Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Tocopherol, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Bisabolol, Betaine, Panthenol, Ceteareth-20, Polyisobutene, Glyceryl Oleate, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Polysorbate 20, Sorbitan Isostearate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Polyacrylate-13, Sucrose Stearate, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Caprylyl Glycol, Benzyl Alcohol, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citric Acid.
Oh no! Thanks for spotting it. I’ve moved it to the right spot.
