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 Kosas as of 9/15/2020. 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.
Please refer to my post on pregnancy safe makeup, where I explain why you don’t need to worry about your mascara, powders, eyeliners, brow products, etc. I do not review these products.
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 Kosas 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.

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!

This is Safe for pregnancy and nursing
You only need to worry about it when the vitamin A is added as a retinoid or bakuchiol. Within an extract for example is different chemically and not something to worry about.
Kosas Good Bost Skin:
Aqua, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Capryloyl/Caproyl Methyl Glucamide; Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Citric Acid, Papain (Papaya enzyme), Bromelain (Pineapple Enzyme), Allantoin, Maltodextrin, Sodium Gluconate, Glyceryl Oleate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Chloride, Natural Fragrance
Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to mandelic acid, glycolic acid
Thank you! You are a life saver 🙂
Hello, I’m wondering if you could tell me the reasons why the two acids listed on Kosa Sport Chemistry Deodorant are not safe for pregnancy? I looked them both up, but am seeing them mostly being generally safe or listed as not enough information/research. The ones I’ve found are for topical use, I’m assuming on the face, no mention on under arms specifically. I appreciate the clarification. Thanks!

Some of this discussion is relevant as well: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
