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 Cetaphil as of 3/22/2018. 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.
On my next review I will add every other product to the other categories so you’ll know why I didn’t consider them to be safe.
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.

June 7, 2019 at 3:00 pmHello!
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) Cosmetics Database lists Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser and cleansing cloths as having ingredients that are considered “level 7-high hazard” when it comes to developmental and reproductive toxicity (see links below). The ingredients are PROPYLPARABEN and BUTYLPARABEN. Can you please provide your take on this? I’ve been using these products daily for the last 6 months of my pregnancy and am now concerned of the potential effects they could have on my baby’s development. Thank you in advance!

June 7, 2019 at 7:34 pmI address parabens in the post on ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. They really are found naturally in things like blueberries, and studies don’t show definitive links to anything. The associations they thought were there were later disproven. All we can prove is that they are absorbed. You can avoid parabens more easily now than a few years ago, but you should know that the preservative that is usually used instead is prone to reactions and doesn’t have safety data.
The EWG isn’t a scientific group, they’re a lobbyist group. The scientific and medical community have major issues with them, they often take studies and come to very different conclusions than even the scientists that actually did the studies themselves. I don’t listen to anything they say truthfully.

Oh no. I’ve been using it for my whole pregnancy 🙁 I looked on your website at cetaphil months ago but didn’t realise until the weekend that Australia had a different ingredient list. All I can do now is hope that it doesn’t impact. Lucky it’s a wash too so it’s off and on. I might move to the more natural sukin range. Would this one be ok?
Thanks again for your helo.

August 28, 2019 at 3:45 pmHi, First of all, I want to say thank you so much for taking the TIME and energy todo this.
we never really think about what we put in our skin until we are pregnant.
I have 3 questions for you .
1) Can I use Cetaphil Hydrating eye gel cream with Hyaluronic acid
2) can I use Differin 0.1%
3) what about clindamycin ?
Thank you so muchh and I am huge fannnnnnnnnn of your page
15mins says
August 28, 2019 at 8:45 pmDo you have an ingredient list for the Cetaphil? I can’t find that one.
Differin is a retinoid, so definitely do not use that while pregnant. Many recommend avoiding while nursing as well.
Clindamycin should be fine, but as it is a prescription I would discuss with your doctor, they may want to change things up due to pregnancy.
