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 J Lo Beauty 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.

The full ingredient list for JLo Glow Serum doesn’t list “hemp” as an ingredient. Which ingredient is the culprit making it unsafe in pregnancy and breast-feeding? Thanks in advance!
These are the ingredients:
Water, Butylene Glycol, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Squalane, Niacinamide, Propanediol, Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide, Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake), Olive Oil Glycerth 8 Esters, Pseudozyma Epicola/Olive Fruit Oil Ferment Filtrate, Hydrogenated Ethylhexyl Olivate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Aspalathus Linearis Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract, Honey Extract, Boswellia Serrata Extract, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Biosaccharide Gum-4, Algin, Hexylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tetrapeptide-14, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hydroxide, Isopentyldiol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Carmine (CI 75470), Tin Oxide.
Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil is hemp oil.
Why is “hemp” not safe?
