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 Sekkisei as of 1/29/2022. 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 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.

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Hello. I picked up sekkisei emulsion moisturizer at Costco. I was wondering if it was pregnancy and nursing safe.

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to chemical sunscreen
Can I ask which ingredients make up the chemical sunscreen? I don’t see it and the product doesn’t advertise as sunscreen so just curious.
ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE
Discussion here: Why did you say this product has sunscreen when there isn’t an SPF?
Thanks so much! Live learning about skincare and thank you for all your work
