Pregnancy Safe Products from Pureology

Pregnancy Safe Products from Pureology

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 Pureology as of 1/22/2022. 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 only need to worry about hair products that touch your scalp). 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.

    Hello,

      It doesn’t have salicylic acid, but it odes have benzophenone-4, which is a chemical sunscreen. So ok for nursing but not pregnancy

    Hello. I am a Pureology Sheer Hydrate shampoo lover. Now that I am pregnant, I’ve stopped using it because of the chemical sunscreen. What did you use when you were pregnant? I’m falling down a research hole and need help!

      My products have pretty much all disappeared or have been reformulated 🙁 Aveda has some that are safe!

    What is your opinion on using Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray (listed above as unsafe for pregnancy) if I only spray it on my hair and not the scalp?

    Hello, I just realized my pureology shampoo and conditioner is considered unsafe for pregnancy due to chemical sunscreen and I am in my second trimester, I have been using it this whole time. How harmful do you think the affects are in shampoo for example? It’s only on for a couple minutes and then rinsed out. The conditioner, I only apply from mid to ends, never on my scalp. As a professional hairstylist I have a hard time finding “cleaner” shampoos that actually keep the hair soft and protected. Especially for highlighted hair. Hoping I have not done any damage in my pregnancy due to using these products!

    Hello Christine! Thank you for all the great website.
    I understand that the Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray has chemical sunscreen and salicylic acid in it, thus making it unsafe for pregnancy.

    To clarify, if this leave in conditioner is only applied to only the mid and ends of the hair, then would it be for pregnancy? I was advised that leave in conditioners are not meant to be left on the scalp or roots. Thank you!

        Appreciate the quick reply! 🙂

        Thank you for clarifying that although this product contains ingredients that are not pregnancy safe, it is safe to use during pregnancy as long as it is not placed on the hair shaft and not the roots/scalp.

        Thank you again for all the great information on your site!!

          Yes, exactly. I used to not screen them at all, but so many people would complain that they use something like a split end serum completely different and why am I so horrible that I won’t screen it for them? Screening all hair products just means I get fewer people yelling at me. (Sad but true.) But if you’re not going to use something near the scalp, I wouldn’t even look at the list. Just use it in a well ventilated area and wash your hands afterwards.
