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!
How about aveeno daily moisturizing lotion?
This list currently only lists the safe products, all unsafe products were left off. Which means that product wasn’t safe. If you need further info, I need to know which daily moisturizing lotion as there are several, and I’ll need a list of ingredients.

I m very confused plz help me
None of those ingredients that you mentioned are ones that you need to be avoiding. You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. Those are not considered ingredients 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, is this Aveeno calm + restore safe for pregnancy

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Thanks for this info!! My face has been suuper red since getting pregnant and has continued postpartum, so I just bought this to help. I then freaked out after first use when I realized I didn’t check to make sure it was nursing safe (which I normally do 🤦🏼♀️). Thanks for easing my mama heart!
Hi, many sources suggest that phenoxyethanol is toxic to fetus and yet you suggest it’s pregnancy safe, how come?

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Thank you for your response.
Hello! First off, I would like to compliment your blog. I’m new to your blog but from what I’ve seen it’s been helpful and informative. My husband and I have just started our journey to having a baby so I wanted to do my research on pregnancy safe skin products. Which brings me to my questions. Forgive me if it’s a silly one. I use the Aveeno Ultra-Calming daily moisturizer SPF 15, with the difference only in the SPF. Is that safe to use? Also how come some products with sunscreens are not safe while others are? I apologize if you’ve covered this question in another article.
Thanks.
Please refer to the discussion in my post on pregnancy skin care ingredients to avoid. Aveeno has products with chemical sunscreens mostly, rarely are they mineral. Chemical sunscreens are a problem and I don’t consider them safe in pregnancy.
This is tremendously helpful. Thank you for sharing!!
Hello doctor, Please help me to check the ingredients of this lotion. I get itchy so much from the stretchmarks that is happening to my body and it wakes me up at night and i cant go back to sleep. Please help and also suggest me if you have any better solutions. Thank you so much doctor 🥰

Hello, is the Positively Radiant Toner safe for pregnancy?

The only one I heard may be questioned was Butylene Glycol, but the Body Shop and your website say that the Aloe Calming Toner from the Body Shop is safe for pregnancy, and it has the same ingredient and another type of glycol.
I just wanted to double check, first pregnancy, and I’m a bit anxious by nature. Thank you for all your work.

I’ve read that feverfew can be unsafe. I love the Ultra calming gel face wash but I’m scared to use it because they compared feverfew to a type of anti-inflammatory like aspirin. Or is that just for when it’s ingested?
It’s not considered close enough to worry about. You should avoid salicylates and willow bark because they are more closely related to aspirin.

Water, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Decyl Glucoside, Ppg-2 Hydroxyethyl Cocamide, Polysorbate 20, Peg-16 Soy Sterol, Citric Acid, Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Sodium Cocoyl Amino Acids, Sarcosine, Potassium Aspartate, Magnesium Aspartate, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Coco Pg-dimonium Chloride, Phosphate, Sodium Citrate, Tetrasodium Edta, Methylparaben, Xanthan Gum, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Sodium Hydroxide.
It’s fine, parabens are actually felt to be safe despite what a few websites say. Info in here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Thank you so much! Yeah

Thank you 🙂
Do i need to apply sunscreen indoor ? Or while cooking ?in some articles i have seen that says to apply sunscreen during cooking but also in some sources says not to apply as it can melt and clog pores. When sun bathing does require sunscreen ?
It would be very helpful if you can give your opinion according to this . Again thanks for your wonderful blog. Finally i have found something that i can really rely on 🙂
Sunscreen should be part of your daily routine each day, but I would concentrate the most on times that you are outside and in direct sunlight the most. I wouldn’t worry too much about when you are inside or not in direct sunlight. Avoiding the sun in peak times (10 am to 2 pm) is best.
Hi, thanks for a great page! It’s been very helpful. Could you let me know if Aveeno positively smooth shaving gel is ok?

Thank you!
Thank you for all this information! I’m finding it so hard to find some specific sunscreens so I picked up the Aveeno Baby Sunscreen SPF 50 sensitive skin (different from the continuous protection one)
Are these ingredients safe?
A crylates/ Dimethicone Copolymer, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylyl Glycol, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cetyl Dimethicone/Bis-Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Chlorphenesin, Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Flower/ Leaf/Stem Juice, Colloidal Oatmeal, Dimethicone, Ethyl Methicone, Glycerin, Glyceryl Behenate, Octyldodecyl Citrate Crosspolymer, Phenethyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Polyhydroxy-stearic Acid, Silica, Sodium Chloride, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Water (eau)
This list is missing sunscreen ingredients, so I’m unable to answer.
Hello,
I saw that you mentioned the Aveeno positively mineral face sunscreen is pregnancy safe, but what about the body version?
I have already reviewed all products in this brand that I have access to their ingredient list, please refer to the post about how to request a product review. I need a full ingredient list to review your product, more info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety and in the post under the heading, How to Request a Product Review.

Hi, I apologize if someone asked about these products in the comments and I missed them..
I’ve been having horrible eczema lately and am wondering if either of these balms are safe for pregnancy?
1. Aveeno Eczema Therapy Itch Relief Balm:
Glycerin, water, cetearyl alcohol, isocetyl alcohol, dimethicone, cetyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, ethylhexylglycerin, sodium cetearyl sulfate, benzoic acid, stearic acid, dipotassium phosphate, potassium phosphate, p-anisic acid, caprylic/capric triglyceride, sodium hydroxide, avena sativa (oat) kernel oil, ceramide NP, citric acid, avena sativa (oat) kernel extract
2. Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Balm:

* I just realized after posting this that these two products have identical ingredient lists. Is it possible the ingredients are in different amounts, or more likely just a marketing ploy?
Likely the baby version is a marketing ploy, they often increase prices when adding “baby” to things.
Regardless, the list is fine for both pregnancy and nursing 🙂

I have been using the Ultra calming foam cleanser after combing through this site of safe cleansers that won’t break me out. There’s nothing worse than spending $30+ on something that causes breakouts. I was then looking at the ingredients and noticed it has “methyparaben, ethylparaben and propylparaben” (however, not necessarily in that order). Are these safe for pregnancy??
They’re fine. Discussion here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Note, I’ve already weeded out the products that have ingredients you need to avoid… otherwise this site was a waste of thousands of hours.
Thank you, I had not read that post yet.

Hello, please advise if those Aveeno products are safe for pregnancy. Thank you! I used myself Pregnancy – Safe Ingredient Checker and it only pointed out “Petrolatum”. I researched myself that Petrolatum is safe in skincare when it is fully refined. I tried to find info if Petrolatum used in Aveeno is refined, but no information in the internet about that. What`s your thoughts about it? I live in EU, so in here Petrolatum is banned in skincare unless its refined. And in my country Aveeno products are sold in Pharamacies.

It’s considered safe in the US and it’s not something physicians here are worried about. My opinions are what’s already in the lists, I wouldn’t spend thousands of hours creating and maintaining them if I had secret thoughts about some of the ingredients.

Hi Dr Christine,
I’m so sorry to message you AGAIN! But I’ve just gone and bought these products from Boots Pharmacy and the ingredients on the bottles differ slightly from what’s online. Argh! So please could you check this additional/alternative ingredient that is on the bottles but not on the website is safe please? I’m really sorry to keep on messaging you about the same ones.
OAT MILK BLEND SHAMPOO (additional ingredient)
Sodium Bicarbonate
Thank you! x
that ingredient is fine, it’s baking soda.
Thanks for the useful tips, I’ve been relying on this page a lot for my first pregnancy.
I have a question, are Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES/SLS) and Sodium Benzoate safe for pregnancy?
Because I see these ingredients a lot in most body wash and shampoo products (including Aveeno and Dove), and the opinions are varied in the internet.
Can you advise based on your knowledge of what FDA approved?
Will appreciate your response so much! Thank you.
It’s thought to be fine for pregnancy and nursing from a safety perspective. Sulfates can be drying/irritating, but they work well. A lot of people avoid them based on that, but I think it’s pretty dependent on what else is in the formulation.
Hello
Can you please tell me if Aveeno Baby Healthy Start Newborn Balm is safe?

Hi Dr Christine, I’m using the Fresh Greens Blend Shampoo which has peppermint oil as one of its ingredients. Read somewhere that peppermint is not advised in pregnancy. Could you please let me know if it’s still ok to use the shampoo notwithstanding the peppermint oil in the ingredients? I note that it is listed as pregnancy safe in the webpage above. Thanks a lot!
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 topically 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
My opinion is always reflected in the lists. I’ve literally spent thousands of hours on them over the years. I wouldn’t do that and purposefully not screen out an ingredient I felt should be avoided.

Hi dr
What about Aveeno Wash-Off Skin Renewal Gentle Body Scrub?

Similarly the Aveeno Skin Renewal Smoothing Cream from the same range?
Aqua, Glycerin, Gluconolactone, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Isopropyl Palmitate, Dimethicone, Cocos Nucifera Oil, Zea Mays Starch, Avena Sativa Kernel (Oat) Flour, Argilla, Sodium Hydroxide, Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Chlorphenesin, Niacinamide, Disodium EDTA, Titanium Dioxide, Potassium Bitartrate

Both are Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to gluconolactone
Hi, I was wondering if you could check if the ingredients in Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Cream are pregnancy-safe? I believe this is a new product or formula. The ingredients are: Water, Glycerin, Isopropyl Myristate, Cetyl Alcohol, Carbomer, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernal Flour, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Hydroxide, p-Anisic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin
I am a little concerned about the p-Anisic Acid because EWG mentions studies done on animals that resulted in “reproductive effects at high doses.” Do you think this product would still be safe for me to use several times a day on my hands? Thanks!
Safe for pregnancy and nursing
You should know that the EWG is often called out by both physician and scientific group for what seems to be a deliberate misinterpretation of study results, including by authors of very specific papers that they cite, sometimes the EWG is deliberately over interpreting results or sometimes coming to very different conclusions than the study authors. They’re a lobbying group, not considered to be a part of the scientific community. As well, most physicians interpret anything with animal data very carefully, as the animals aren’t really correlative to human findings. p-Anisic Acid is an antiseptic already found in many plants and foods.
