Pregnancy Safe Products from Alastin

Pregnancy Safe Products from Alastin

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.

Yes, I still answer questions about product safety! You must follow these guidelines. Any rude comments or those not following the guidelines will be removed. This means full product name, ingredient list, and each product must either be on the proper brand page or the brand list page. I won't accept comments in the wrong spot.

You can check the pregnancy beauty FAQ for many answers. Also check out which makeup and hair products I think you should worry about. Additional info about: perfume, nail polish and sunless tanners

    Hello. The restorative skin complex has Silver Mushroom (Tremella). I’ve read this is not safe for pregnancy and nursing?

    • 12.13.23
      Christine said:

      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

    Stephanie Rhodes said:

    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.
