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 11/25/2021. 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.
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.

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.

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!
Ingredient discussion here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
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)
Hi! Thanks again for all you do. I’m reading through comments, the name of the Kosas ‘revealer’ Concealer seems to have changed and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a reformulation situation- do these ingredients still look ok?

Hi, Is the caffeine in the Kosas revealer foundation considered safe? Thank you!
Yes. Think of it this way… you’re still allowed 1 cup of coffee a day. That’s 35 mg, way more than in the full tube, which is only a small amount being applied topically.
