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 Isle of Paradise as of 4/2/2023. 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.
Don’t See Your Product? Read This Before You Ask About It…
Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines or are rude.
This discussion is very relevant for this brand: Sunless Tanners during pregnancy

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!
Apologies if this has been asked but I cannot find it anywhere. I know you do not recommend any sunless tanners or products with DHA during pregnancy. Are these products okay during breastfeeding (if the ingredients are otherwise safe)? Thanks so much.
They’re fine while nursing, if you look at the lists (like this post) they mostly end up under that category unless they have ingredients like retinoids that you need to avoid in nursing.
Thank you. You are the best, I so appreciate everything you do!
