Pregnancy Safe Makeup and Skincare from NARS

Pregnancy Safe Skincare from NARS

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 NARS as of 3/17/2024. 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.

        Just noticed this comment! I’ve been looking for a few powders on here with no luck and this clearly answers that. Curious why we don’t need to worry about powders? I suppose blush powders would also fall into this category? Many thanks for the loads of helpful posts!!!!

      Ok, I’m confused about these 2 because their ingredients are so different and I would have thought they would be more alike!
      #1 Safe for pregnancy and nursing!!! There are like 3 cushions total that are safe, this is a huge find.
      #2 Avoid in pregnancy and nursing due to retinoid, chemical sunscreen, salicylate.

    Hi Christine, I remember not using the soft matte concealer last pregnancy and for this one completely didn’t think about the ingredient and am so concerned as have been using on and off this pregnancy to spot treat. Obviously will not use but am already over 30 weeks 🙁

        Very helpful thank you so so much! I’m overly anxious and of course my mind goes to the bad place!

          Tell it to stop that! LOL
          In all seriousness, pregnancy and the postpartum period are great for producing anxiety that can be very impairing in everyday life. PPA is a big thing, just like PPD. When I’m working in the newborn nursery (which is a LOT) I talk about anxiety when I talk about depression. If it is becoming overwhelming, please talk to your doctor about it and make sure you and your partner know not only what to watch out for, but also have resources to help with anxiety. **Hugs to you!**
