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 Kevyn Aucoin as of 1/14/2022. 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.
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.

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!
Dear Doctor,
Is the Kevyn Aucoin Stripped Nude Ski.n Tint pregnancy safe or at least safe during nursing? It does contain benzyl salycilate, I do not know how safe it is during breastfeeding. Thanks a lot.

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to the salicylate you spotted
Thank you so much. So salicylate is ok to use during nursing, but it is probably better to avoid while breastfeeding, as well?
It’s fine while nursing
Thank you so much!
Hi there.
I was wondering if the below product is safe to use during pregnancy?
Kevyn Aucoin – The Sculpting Powder.
Should TALC be avoided? Ingredients below.
Nylon-12, talc, mica, phenyl trimethicone, polyethylene, ptfe, hydrogenated lecithin, tocopherol, caprylic/capric triglyceride, laminaria ochroleuca extract, hexylene glycol, caprylyl glycol, phenoxyethanol, iron oxides (ci 77491), iron oxides (ci 77492), iron oxides (ci 77499), titanium dioxide (ci 77891), yellow 5 lake (ci 19140), ultramarines (ci 77007), carmine (ci 75470).
There’s some discussion about talc in this comment
Otherwise, this is a powder, which you don’t need to worry about. Please refer to this post: Pregnancy Safe Makeup Post.
