   Hi! Your posts are very helpful… Just wanted to ask though about Clinique Moisture Surge 72-hr Replenishing Hydrator. It’s listed as safe but it has Tocopheryl Acetate (a form of Hydroquinone) and I read in one of your posts that Hydroquinones are not safe during pregnancy…

   Also, is Clinique Even Better Powder Makeup Water Veil safe?
   Ingredients:
   Synthetic Fluorphlogopite , Titanium Dioxide , Boron Nitride , Hdi/Ppg/Polycaprolactone Crosspolymer , Nylon-12 , Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate , Dimethicone , Sorbitan Sesquiisostearate , Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract , Squalane , Tamarindus Indica Seed Extract , Caffeine , Stearic Acid , Cladosiphon Okamuranus Extract , Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract , Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract , Diisostearyl Malate , Hydrogen Dimethicone , Hordeum Vulgare (Barley) Extract\Extrait D’Orge , Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Extract , Glyceryl Caprylate , Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract , Ethylhexylglycerin , Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Fruit Extract , Citrullus Vulgaris (Watermelon) Fruit Extract , Algae Extract , Artemia Extract , Ergothioneine , Biotin , Sodium Lactate , Tocopherol , Bis-Peg-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane , Glycerin , Butylene Glycol , Pentylene Glycol , Sodium Pca , Trehalose , Sucrose , Acetyl Glucosamine , Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate , Jojoba Esters , Peg-32 , Caprylyl Glycol , Peg-6 , Polysorbate 20 , Dextrin , Cetyl Alcohol , Sodium Hyaluronate , Hexylene Glycol , Glyceryl Stearate , Water\Aqua\Eau , Aluminum Hydroxide , Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer , Silica , Sodium Hydroxide , Citric Acid , Hydroxyethylcellulose , Disodium Edta , Phenoxyethanol , [+/- Mica , Iron Oxides (Ci 77492) , Iron Oxides (Ci 77491) , Iron Oxides (Ci 77499) , Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891)]

     Tocopheryl Acetate isn’t hydroquinone, it’s Vitamin E and definitely ok during pregnancy.
     Also, no need to worry about powders.

   Hi, thank you for all your work, it is so helpful to have this resource. In the spirit of being helpful, I just wanted to point out that the Clinique Acne Solutions Oil-Control Cleansing Mask listed as safe here has Salicylic Acid in it. Strangely, it’s not on the ingredients list, but if you look at the photo of the tube on the Clinique website (the link you provided), it says Salicylic Acid Acne Medication at the bottom. I have used it in the past and it had Salicylic Acid on the ingredients list that comes with the product. Thanks again for all your amazing work!

     Arg!! Yes, it isn’t listed in the ingredients on any website, and when I made this list it wasn’t on the front of the packaging either (which was strange because it WAS on the front of the others), so I figured maybe it just wasn’t in this one. I’m just going to move it down. Thanks!

   Thanks so much. This is so helpful and helps reduce a bit of anxiety. I notice that the Clinique Mineral Suncreen 30 spf body is a no-no. I was shocked. What about the Clinique mineral sunscreen fluid for face? I have been using it everyday since TTC thinking it was a safer option. Thanks so much.

   Some of the Clinique creams listed as safe contain Sigesbeckia Orientalis (St. Paul’S Wort) Extract. I looked it up and found conflicting information. In this case I wouldn’t be ingesting it, but still. Why are you not concerned about it? Thanks!

     I actually specifically asked several OBs about it and none of them were concerned. They will have their patients take it orally sometimes (obviously under a physician’s direction) while pregnant and the exposure topically is much smaller than taking it by mouth.

          Glycolic is not considered safe by many physicians because it is highly absorbed. I recommend avoiding it, and my OB also told me to avoid it.

    To the reviewer,

    Sorry, we don’t know your name, and judging by what you have said about rude comments, we can understand why you haven’t posted that information 🙂

    Anyway, when my wife asked me to Google the list of ingredients for her makeup, I have to say that my jaw nearly hit the floor as I knew how immensely time consuming this job would have been. However, after a search, I found your website and reviews.

    Congratulations on a cracking job!

    Too many people take from the internet and give nothing back and we have all become far too reliant on other people doing the work for us, so you should be proud of having put this vast list together just to help people.

    We are very grateful, especially me, as it has saved me enormous amounts of work and frustration, so many, many thanks 🙂

    Keep up the great work!

    Hi,

    I am currently wary of the repair wear laser focus wrinkle cream…I don’t see any retinoids listed in the ingredients but when I googled it, it said it has retinyl palmalate which contains retinol. I really hope not because I’ve been using it since I found out I was pregnant. Could you help me with this? I don’t see it anywhere in the ingredients.

    Thank you

      I don’t see it in any of the Repair Wear creams (note there are 3 possible products, you didn’t specify which so I checked all of them), at least not on the Clinique site. I would trust Clinique’s website over other sites for an accurate list. The best is definitely the list that comes with the product, though that it typically an insert in the box and you likely don’t have that any more.

      I address use of products with a “bad” ingredient in my pregnancy skincare FAQ, but note the ingredients of the product likely vary by country, I’ve screened US products, and that’s what’s on the Clinique website. I wonder if the list you saw refers to an international version of the product?

      If you’re worried about it, I would change to a different product, but I don’t think retinoids are in the US versions. I hope that helps!

      Is the one in Willow Bark that you need to worry about. Birch has some, but no where near the amount of Willow. We usually consider the ingredients in most extracts and oils to “not count”, but Neem, Licorice Root and Willow are the exceptions. There’s more discussion in my post on ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

    Hi there, I’m a little confused over the Liquid Facial Soap – does it mean the formula is different when it comes in a *tube* packaging, as opposed to the pump bottle? I see that the Liquid Facial Soap is listed as pregnancy safe but not “Liquid Facial Soap Tube”. Thanks!

      Nope, the product should be the same. Pick whichever packaging you prefer. I usually have 1 of each of my favorites if possible, pump for home and tube for travel and on call in the hospital.
