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 Mio & Mama Mio as of 8/27/2021. 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.

Mama Mio has changed their packaging and not sure if their ingredients have changed as well. Their tummy rub oil now has benzyl benzoate–is this safe? Full ingredient list below.
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Fragrance (Parfum), Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Limonene, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil, Plukenetia Volubilis (Sacha Inchi) Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Linalool, Citral, Evernia Furfuracea (Treemoss) Extract, Citronellol, Benzyl Benzoate.
This is still ok for pregnancy and nursing
The Mama Mio fragrance contains May Chang. I have read that this is not safe for pregnancy. It is in the Tummy Rub Scrub, Tummy Rub Oil and the Belly Butter. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Hi Christine,
Thank you so much again for everything you do, it’s greatly appreciated!!
So as usual the UK has a mind of its own and the Tummy Rub Oil has a couple of different ingredients from the US version I see in the link.
