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 Exuviance as of 8/11/2020. 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.
FYI, when I was reviewing products on Exuviance’s site, I noticed a lot of them mention a previous name. I think a lot of products were recently renamed. You’ll need to poke around a lot to find an old favorite, but I’ve reviewed their entire US site!
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 Exuviance 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.

This has gluconolactone, ok for nursing but not pregnancy
I didn’t see this exact one on the list, and I tried to look to see if it was renamed: hydrating eye complex. Is this safe for pregnancy?
It’s likely a new product or a reformulation.
why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety
Aqua, Titanium Dioxide, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate,
Paraffinum Liquidum, Kojic Acid, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Phytic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, Ceteareth-12, Parfum, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone.
Are the above mentioned ingredients present in cream safe for pregnancy ?
Thanks
