Pregnancy safe skincare 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 every pregnancy safe skincare product from Simple Skincare as of 3/27/2019. 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.
Please note, it can take up to an hour to review the ingredient lists of each product. I review with my own list of pregnancy safe criteria. I obtain my ingredient lists from the brands and major retailers (typically Nordstrom and Sephora), and I review the US versions. Please do not ask me to re-review the same products over and over, I do not have the time to do so, and many people have been rude about this. For more brands, please head over to the list of pregnancy safe products.

Thank you for a very helpful article! I’m considering of using this product: https://www.simple.co.uk/products/face-moisturisers-and-creams/regeneration-age-resisting-night-cream.html Is it pregnancy safe too?

The eye mask and sheet mask are ok for pregnancy and nursing

Thank you so much!
In the UK we also have the simple Radiance boosting sheet mask – is this safe for pregnancy?
5-15%: Anionic surfactants, Oxygen-based bleaching agents. <5%: Enzymes, Nonionic surfactants, Optical brighteners, Perfume, Phosphonates, Polycarboxylates, Soap, Zeolites, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal.
I don’t think this is the full ingredient list as they don’t list what the chemicals of some of the things are (the oxygen based bleaching agents for example), but just hearing that as a category makes me think they should likely be avoided in pregnancy.
Thank you x

I’m not certain if the Globularia cordifolia callus culture is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.
