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.
Here you’ll find every pregnancy safe skincare product from Elemis as of 12/21/2022 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.

Hi!!
First if all: THANK YOU X
Next…why is the dynamic resurfacing facial wash okay during pregnancy; but, rest of the range of dynamic resurfacing is not? Is that a typo?
Thank you!!
Tara
No, it isn’t a typo. Each product has the ingredient of concern noted, I’ve specifically placed each product under what I think they are safe for. It isn’t unusual to have different products of the same line be safe while others are not.
Thank
You SO much x

Hi Doctor, thank you for replying so quickly!!
Could you tell me which ingredient(s) is the salicylate so if I spot it anywhere else I’d be able to rule it out in the future without troubling you.
The salicylates all actually say “salicylate” in the name, usually the 2nd word.
Thank you for your patience with me Doctor for explaining the obvious
🙂 That one was easy, some of them are hard to figure out!

Hello! I have a few questions on products. Elemis claims all their FACE products are now safe for pregnancy and nursing moms. One product I use I do not see on here, and the other is on the “not safe” list, but I am not seeing the ingredient listed. I am curious if they may have changed their formula since last year or if I am missing something? They are:
-Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask -the only ingredients I can find on their site is plant derived hyaluronic acid, padding pavonica, and watermelon snow algae.
-Superfood Facial Oil- broccoli oil, flax seed oil, daikon radish seed extract, cucumber oil, macadamia seed oil, rice bran oil, poppy seed oil, Rosehips fruit oil, meadow foam set oil, squalean
For both I am unable to find on their site the complete ingredient breakdown lists. The internet lists this, but none seem to be consistent, therefore I do not know whether to trust them or not 🙂 Any help is appreciated!
This is the list for the eye mask (via Revolve, which is a retailer I trust):
Aqua/Water/Eau, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Maltodextrin, Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Sodium Polyacrylate, Lespedeza Capitata Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Sodium Hydroxide, Lactic Acid, Serine, Sodium Lactate, Sorbitol, Urea, Rhizobian Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Padina Pavonica Thallus Extract, Chlorphenesin, Plankton Extract, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Sodium Chloride, Coenochloris Signiensis Extract, Lecithin, Tocopherol, Allantoin.
It looks fine for pregnancy and nursing
The oil (also via Revolve):
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Linum Usitatissimum (Flax) Seed Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Papaver Somniferum (Poppy) Seed Oil, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil, Squalane, Raphanus Sativus (Radish) Seed Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Oil, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Seed Oil, Fragrance (Parfum), Limonene, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Sweet Orange) Peel Oil, Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil, Cymbopogon Martini (Palmarosa) Oil, Geraniol, Linalool, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Benzyl Benzoate, Farnesol, Citral, Benzyl Salicylate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract.
this has a salicylate and I would avoid it in pregnancy, but it’s ok for nursing.
There isn’t a universally accepted list of safe vs unsafe ingredients for pregnancy, but salicylates are pretty universally accepted as an ingredient to avoid. More discussion on that here: pregnancy beauty FAQ
I hope that helps!
Thanks for your help!!!

Looks ok! I was on the Elemis site this am, so many of their newer products don’t have ingredient lists available, I’m planning to go through Dermstore or somewhere reliable to look them up in the next few days.
Hi Doctor!
First of all, THANKS for your website, it’s being a tremendous help in figuring out what’s safe to use and what isn’t, rather than having to check every single product’s ingredients and still be unsure since some are not easily spotted.
In the few days I’ve been reading you I’ve had to put aside most of my lipbalms and the only one I have left is Elemis but not listed here, could you please let me know if safe?
THANKS again!

No, this has Dihydroxyacetone. All sunless tanners need to be avoided in pregnancy as there aren’t any active ingredients that are safe.
I have a list of pregnancy safe body bronzers if you really need to have a tan.
Hi Dr.
Thank you so much for sharing the information. I literally checked all the products at home with your website. Really appreciate your time and efforts, for me and my baby.
Can you help check whether this shampoo is safe to use? Thanks!

Hi! Thank you so much for doing this! I have a question about the Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads. I know you said they were ok for pregnancy, but can you explain why the ingredient in it benzoic acid is ok? Thank you so much!!
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

I bought the Aching Muscle Super Soak because it was on your safe list, but on the back of the bottle is says “do not use while pregnant”.
Do you know why they don’t recommend it?
Read here about why brands and I sometimes disagree:
pregnancy beauty FAQ
As well, you’re not really meant to soak in hot water for prolonged periods of time while pregnant, so that’s part of it.
Hi, I wanted to check what the difference was between the pro-collagen marine cream and the one with spf? Why is one safe when pregnant and the other not? Thanks!
Each product has the problem ingredient listed next to it, in this case it is the chemical sunscreens included in the SPF version.
Hi! Thank you for all of your reviews! What do you think of these?

Hi Dr., thank you for all that you do on this site, it has helped me so much! I just bought the Elemis Cellutox Active Body Oil which is listed here as safe, but then I noticed it says on the box “Do not use when pregnant”. I’m wondering if this is just a marketing gimmick to get you to buy multiple products (I also have the Japanese Camellia Body Oil and that one is heavily marketed toward pregnancy, just wanted to add another scent to the mix!) Or is there any other reason besides the ingredients that I should be worried about using it?
I did read the ingredients on the specific package I have, and they exactly match what someone else posted here a few months ago (I am just copy-pasting from that comment so it’s front and center here, but nothing has changed). Thank you so much!
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Limonene, Parfum, Tocopherol, Citral, Canarium Luzonicum Gum Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Extract, Citrus Limon Peel Extract, Thymus Vulgaris Flower/Leaf Oil, Linalool, Juniperus Communis Fruit Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Geraniol, Citronellol, Crithmum Maritimum Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
I think this list is fine for pregnancy and nursing, but there’s discussion here: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? it’s kind of a vice versa thing.

It’s worth noting (because someone will see this and freak out later) that this list is NOT for the Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads, which are pregnancy and nursing safe. This is a list for the Multi Active Resurfacing Facial Pads, which I think are basically discontinued and only available at a few retailers worldwide. They don’t appear on the Elemis UK/US website.

Hi there!
I recently ordered the Cellutox active body oil linked above as pregnancy safe. However the packaging says do not use when pregnant. I didn’t see that warning online when I bought it in any of the product details. Do you know why it would be deemed unsafe for pregnancy? Of course I used it once but have since discontinued.

Hello Dr. I saw a lot of videos saying that Glycolic Acid is safe for pregnancy. Can you please explain this. Thank you
Ingredient specific discussions are here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
And this is also really important to know: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
Glycolic acid in particular is pretty efficiently absorbed when used topically. That’s the reason so many physicians are wary of it’s use in pregnancy. We don’t actually have safety data either way (safe or unsafe), but it gets into the bloodstream so easily compared to other ingredients that a large number of us say it should be avoided.
