Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Caudalie

Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Caudalie

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.

Here you’ll find every pregnancy safe skincare product from Caudalie as of  6/29/2024. 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.

Note, Caudalie and Sephora often call the same product by different names, and that sometimes is different from what is on the actual product. Please look at similar names and check a couple of products for your favorites! I defaulted to the names used on the Caudalie product images.

    The Caudalie website says some of their products aren’t BF safe, but you have them listed here as safe. I’ve been using them and am curious- are they safe or not? I’m hoping they are otherwise I would feel awful! Have you seen their website?

      I haven’t seen that on the caudalie site, but my list of things to avoid is pretty conservative. I’m not sure what they are saying to avoid that I don’t have on my list.

        Hi,

        On the Caudalie qebsite (FAQ) here what the company says:

        In the early months of pregnancy and when breastfeeding, as a precaution we recommend avoiding products concentrated in essential oils and containing glycolic acid. These include our night oils Vine[Activ] Overnight Detox Oil, Vinosource Overnight Recovery Oil, all of the products in the Vinopure Collection, Contouring Concentrate, Glycolic Peel Mask, Vinoperfect Concentrated Brightening EssencePurifying Mask, and the Instant Detox Mask,Beauty Elixir, as well as the Crushed Cabernet Scrub. Vinexpert Dietary Supplementsare also not recommended for pregnant women.
        If you have the slightest doubt, we recommend that you consult your doctor, who is best qualified to inform you.

        It says « in the early months » does it mean that after 1st semester it is ok? I am confused.
        Thank you

    Hi! Thanks for your info, it is really helpful! I have been looking all over for the products that are safe to use, it is a dificult search until I found your info! Thanks!
    I have a question about vinopure natural oil control moisturizer because i can see in the ingredients that it has salicylic acid on it and this compound is usually known as non safe for pregnancy, if you could clarify this to me I would be greatful!
    Same with Premier Cru eye treatment because it has caffeine on it.

    Thank you very much!

      Hi Monica,
      These are the ingredients for the Vinopure Natureal Oil Control Moisturizer. I don’t see Salicylic Acid listed on the Sephora site and this product isn’t on the Caudalie website. Where are you seeing the salicylic acid, is it on the packaging? You’re right that it should be avoided, I’m just trying to find out where you saw that.

      Caffeine is fine in products.

        I’m sorry. I made a mistake with the spanish name of the vinopure oil control lotion, it is not the same product than the moisturizer that appears in your post. The oil control moisturizer does not have salicilyc acid.

        Thanks a lot and sorry for your trouble!

      Please carefully read the post above- This list is everything that was pregnancy safe as of the review date. I had reviewed the entire brand at that time, and the products were included on a long list of pregnancy safe skincare. I have since separated the products out into individual brands as it got too long, and on my next review I will list out all of the other products. But if your product was available before that date, it is NOT included as it was not safe.

    Hi, I love your blog and appreciate how much effort you’ve put into helping other women!

    I have a question about tyrosine inhibitors in Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum. Caudalie states that the Viniferine (grapevine extract) in its Radiance serum prevents the appearance of dark spots by controlling tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for the overproduction of melanin: https://en.caudalie.com/about-caudalie/ingredients-and-patents/viniferine.html

    Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) isn’t in Caudalie’s Vinoperfect Radiance Serum, but I’ve read that it’s also a tyrosine inhibitor. You’ve mentioned that Licorice Root should be avoided because it acts through inhibition of tyrosine, and it is unclear the effects this could have on an unborn baby. Shouldn’t Viniferine and Vitamin C be avoided for the same reason? (I am hoping you’ll say Viniferine and Vitamin C are safe for some reason; otherwise I don’t know what I’ll do about my dark spots!)

    Also, my understanding is that tyrosine inhibitors slow down pigment creation, but Niacinamide is not an inhibitor; it works by detering pigment transfer instead. Is that why you consider Niacinamide safe?

    • 5.30.19
      15mins said:

      Yes, niacinamide is currently considered safe because it works slightly differently. Vitamin C is also felt to be safe because although it somewhat acts through the tyrosine inhibition, it is found in large amounts in many foods (a much higher level of exposure than topical use), but note that other ingredients that act more strongly through the tyrosine pathway like that have been somewhat implicated in birth defects, that’s why it’s pretty universally recommended to avoid hydroquinone, arbutin, etc during pregnancy. And note we’ll never be able to truly study if any of these ingredients are safe during pregnancy or not, the studies that would really prove safety are unethical to do. So we make assumptions and inferences. So the OBs I’ve talked to and the reading I’ve done says that we’re fine using Vitamin C and Niacinamide, and I consider the Vioperfect Radiance Serum to be ok.

        Jessica said:

        Thank you so much for the quick response! I suspected it was just that the “avoid” tyrosine inhibitors were stronger than Vitamin C and Viniferine. I’m relieved I don’t have to give up all my products!

    Hello,

    May I ask you about the resveratrol line of Caudalie. Is resveratrol safe during pregnancy? Because I read articles about avoiding it. I am quite confused and I really love that products and would love to be able to continue using the during pregnancy.

    Thank you so much in advance.

    • 7.13.19
      15mins said:

      The evidence isn’t strong enough that we recommend avoiding resveratrol (meaning, ACOG doesn’t have a statement against it and I don’t know any OBs that recommend avoiding it, but you can check with yours). There’s also a lot of studies looking into use of it during pregnancy and improved outcomes from different maternal nutrition issues. But note all the studies I’ve found pertain to oral supplementation, not topical use. So, not enough evidence that we say to avoid it at that higher exposure, and topical is a lower level of exposure.

      It’s fine, I don’t know any physicians who say to avoid it topically even while pregnant, let alone while nursing.

    Hi, thank you for sharing. I noticed someone already made a comment about the caudalie website, on the US website it says that they recommend as a precaution, avoiding the following products during early pregnancy and breastfeeding due to essential oils. What are your thoughts please? These are the products:
    -vine activ overnight detox oil
    – vinosource overnight recovery oil
    – all vinopure products
    contouring concentrate
    Glycolic peel mask
    Purifying mask
    Instant detox mask
    Beauty elixir
    Crushed cabernet scrub
    All supplements

      My thoughts specifically regarding essential oils are here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
      Otherwise I feel I’ve already answered as I list products above under pregnancy safe or unsafe. If I felt something was not safe, I would not list it under safe. It’s quite telling I guess that you think my morals are so bad that I would list something under safe even if I felt it wasn’t. Thanks for that.

    This is directly from their website…

    In the early months of pregnancy and when breastfeeding, as a precaution we recommend avoiding products concentrated in essential oils and containing glycolic acid. These include our night oils Vine[Activ] Overnight Detox Oil, Vinosource Overnight Recovery Oil, all of the products in the Vinopure Collection, Contouring Concentrate, Glycolic Peel Mask, Purifying Mask, and the Instant Detox Mask,Beauty Elixir, as well as the Crushed Cabernet Scrub. Vinexpert Dietary Supplementsare also not recommended for pregnant women.
    If you have the slightest doubt, we recommend that you consult your doctor, who is best qualified to inform you.

      I have discussion about glycolic acid and essential oils here:
      skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

      As well as why sometimes brands and I disagree here: pregnancy beauty FAQ

      I’m a physician, with training in providing recommendations regarding medications and products during pregnancy and nursing. There are no definitive sources and very few absolutes regarding the safety of these ingredients during pregnancy and nursing, as the experiments we would need to do to prove our theories are all unethical. My list of ingredients to avoid is actually very conservative, but I don’t know any physicians who recommend avoiding all essential oils. It’s up to the person and their own comfort level.

    Hello Dr. and congratulations on your helpful site.
    I would like to understand why Caudalie by themselves as a company they do not reccomend using Contouring Concentrate during pregnancy(in the FAQ section) explaining that it is a concentrate of essential oils, though the firming Vinosculpt cream say it is ok because it is a cream. Clarins as a company they justify the Tonic oil as a safe pregnacy product because they use 2-4% of essential oils and dilute them accordingly. Since you list the Contouring Concentrate in the safe for pregnancy products , do you think it is exaggeration from the company, just wanting to be on the safe side?

    One question regarding the reservatrol products.

    Hi!

    I have used Caualie’s Instant Detox Mask a couple of times during my pregnancy. I just read on their website that a couple of their products are not safe during the first trimester (including the instant detox mask). I am wondering if you have any ideas on why that is and whether I should be concerned? I’m a bit anxious over it and would really appreciate your views.

      Hello, thank you for the informative website. Might the pregnancy-safe recommendations here extend to children? My 9.5 y/o has facial scarring from eczema and is starting to become self-conscious about it. We’ve been religious about SPF but I’m wondering if products like the Vinoperfect serum might be safe to help fade some of the darker marks?

      • 8.18.22
        Christine said:

        They’re not intended for children, it’s really only about pregnancy safety. As a pediatrician I can say that with children who are toddler or older, they can use pretty much any products unless they have an allergy/sensitivity to something.
        However, eczema doesn’t scar. I would strongly recommend seeing a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis and options for treatment. Many kinds of scarring don’t respond to topical serums (they may need a laser or something), or if you’re seeing variation in skin color as a scar, you may have an entirely different diagnosis such as vitiligo.

    Hello doctor, I have a bit more of a generic question. When trying to conceive should partners with testes also avoid the products that are not safe for pregnancy or is that not a concern? For example should my husband stop using the VINOPURE PORE PURIFYING GEL CLEANSER during this time?

    Also thank you so much for putting together this site and relaying all of this information so transparently with what you’re screening, why, and or what is just not known. I truly wish more information was shared this way rather than in global absolutes. I’ve already made a plan to replace 3/4 of my skin care products – Thank you!

      We have no evidence to support that men need to do anything different.
      And I have always found that when working with my patients, it’s easiest if I’m as transparent as possible about to do or not do some things. A lot of this pregnancy stuff isn’t based on much other than the “bad feelings” that some doctors get about some of these ingredients and how they are able to be absorbed.

    Hi there!
    I do not know if you will have answers to this, given its not a specific beauty product, but I have tried looking everywhere and just cannot seem to find enough research or answers. Since I go to your website as my holy grail for all pregnancy safe products I figured it was worth a shot to ask.

    Do you have any idea, thoughts or opinions on the safety of eyebrow tinting and lamination during pregnancy/nursing. I normally get these things done regularly but am now 20 weeks pregnant and have stayed away because I just don’t know if they are safe. I would love to have nice brows again lol, but will not risk the safety of my little girl.

    Thanks!

      I haven’t really thought about it honestly… I’m not sure? Getting hair dyed is fine is fine, so I think eyebrow tinting it likely similar. I don’t know what kind of chemicals they use in lamination.

    Hi! Thank you so much for this complete and comprehensive guide! It helps so much! I bought some Caudalie products that are on the safe list. I recently came across articles about two ingredients that wanted your opinion on. Resveratrol and Titanium Dioxide. I am finding conflicting information on the safety of both ingredients. What are your thoughts?

    • 8.26.22
      Christine said:

      You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. Neither are considered an ingredient to avoid by the medical community. My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. Note, I have spent thousands of hours over the years on these lists… it wouldn’t make sense for me to leave out an ingredient I think you need to avoid. I do update them and add ingredients to the list of ingredients I screen out (I added Bidens Pilosa this last spring for example).

      All of the lists here are running together, but I think there are 3 separate products. I’m assuming the (277/xxx) is the end of a list and I’m numbering them from there.

      #2, 3 Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to salicylate

    Also, I am not sure which ingredient provides UV protection in this products?

    Do you know maybe of any other sunscreen in a form of a spray that is pregnancy safe? It is just as re-application is needed during the day and it is much easier to apply in a form of a spray over make-up.

    I really appreciate your time!
    Thank you!!

      All 6 are Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to chemical sunscreens.

      There are very few sprays that are pregnancy safe. But, the way most people use them, a spray sunscreen is providing SPF 1-2. It’s really not doing the reapplication that you think it is.

      I’ve gone through above and bolded the sunscreens in each product. All are chemical sunscreens.

    Hi. I am confused about the ingredient Mandelic Acid. You have it listed as not safe for pregnancy as the ingredient in Vinoperfect Micro-Peeling Instant Eclat, but someone mentioned a product, Vino perfect Brightening Daily AHA Micropeel (which is the same product) but you said it was safe. It also has Mandelic Acid. I’ve noticed a lot of people are asking about products that aren’t even sold in the US and that is why the product name change. Thanks.

      Christine said:

      Sometimes I’m human and make mistakes and overlook something (my eyes can go buggy looking at so many lists), but I do screen out mandelic acid as something to avoid.
      I’m also US based and review US products for the blog since about 90-95% of my readers are US based. Many of the comments/questions are international readers, which is why you need to be VERY careful when looking at the comments. Don’t use the product names (or one that even sounds similar), you need to verify that the ingredient lists are exactly the same as what you’re looking for. Sometimes even the exact same named product will have variations in formula depending on regions of the world. Asia, the EU, US, Canada and Australia can all be different for the very large brands. But there are also some brands (like Elemis) that have no variation in formula around the world.
