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 Fresh as of 7/24/2021. 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.
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.
Note, Fresh’s website often doesn’t list products by the name on the packaging. Everything has been listed here by what is on the package.

Hi,
I went to a fresh counter today and they done a mini facial walk through. I told the person I was pregnant and she told me just to avoid the black tea products. When it came to the lip sugar scrub she said this and the lip bam were fine to use. Is it OK that I used these as a once off? There both on the avoid list. Thank you
This will help: You’ve been using a product with a “bad” ingredient
Hello Dr
I noticed you haven’t included their lip treatment and am guessing it’s become of the chemical spf, but could you please have a look of

This is fine
One question I do have.. What are you throughts on hair products, and lip products? I do know some of my hair leave in sprays have a salycilate ingredient, and some of my plumping lip glosses have retinyl palmiatate. I’m assuming leave off the lip gloss, and I would assume the leave in treatments, if they have this ingredient (saly..) but what about shampoos etc? Does the same go for them as well?
Lip products you actually eat, so they have more exposure than most other skincare products. Hair products you don’t need to worry about unless you’re leaving them on your scalp for an extended period of time. Hair spray for example I wouldn’t worry about, but a treatment shampoo that you’re leaving in for 5 minutes or so I would.
Hi there. Wondering if this item was pregnancy safe.

G’day Dr, Is BHT safe for pregnancies? I’ve found mixed arguments for and against. I’d definitely trust the argument of a doctor though.
Kindest Regards,
Sabrina
I haven’t found anything definitive either way, but that’s true of most ingredients. There aren’t really reasons to think it would cause problems based on what we know of it, and it’s almost always at the bottom of the ingredient list.
Hi Dr.
Thank you so much for all of your help! I am so grateful for your time:
What are your thoughts on the below ingredients during pregnancy:
Water, Glycerin, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Root Extract, Usnea Barbata(Lichen) Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Lauryl Glucoside, Tartaric Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) peel oil

I bought a fresh soy face wash that face wash has amino acid is it safe during pregnancy?
Yes, amino acids are fine. That’s what proteins are made of, they’re not “acids” like most people think of an acid.
Your page is so helpful, and well organized. With all the every day tasks there is being a parent, finding the time to research all the ingredients is such an added chore. Then I’d second guess myself wondering if I read the ingredients correctly or missed something. I never post any comments on any sites but had to say thank you!!!

Hello just wondering if the herb rosemary leaf extract is safe in facial oils like the fresh seaberry moisturizing oil ? I am using it but read online that rosemary leaf extract is an essential oil not to be used during pregnancy – any idea ?
I wouldn’t bathe in it necessarily, but you can still eat Rosemary, which is a much higher level of exposure than use in topical products like these.

Thank you for sharing your amazing site with us! I just have a quick question -I was at Sephora today purchasing the Rose line and I mentioned this site to the rep. She said that she was surprised to see the products as safe as they have Phenoxyethanol which is not safe for breast feeding. Just checking your thoughts on this ingredient. Thanks!
This is the first time I’ve heard that one mentioned to avoid in nursing (and I spend a lot of time as the newborn nursery doctor)…. I’m not sure where she got that one from.

Dear Doctor,
Fresh just launched a new product: Rose Deep Hydration Oil-Infused Serum. Its ingredients are quite simple and I am not sure if it’s complete. See its ingredients here: Plant-derived squalane, Rosewater, damask rose extract, a blend of oils—rose flower, camelina, rosehip, and squalane. Source: https://www.fresh.com/us/rose-deep-hydration-oil-infused-serum-H00005424.html
Thank you!
It’s ok for pregnancy and nursing
Dear Doctor,
I have read many concerns about essential oils during pregnancy. I wonder if plant oils used in many of Fresh products here are safe?
An example is the Seaberry Moisturising Face Oil – seaberry oil, cranberry seed oil, camellia seed oil, grape seed oil and sweet almond oil.
Thank you.
I address that in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Essentially, as long as you’re not bathing in large amounts of oils (which won’t happen when small amounts are in these formulations, even if you’re applying to your entire body every day) it’s ok.
Hello,
Thank you so much for doing this! Would you mind checking my Dr Organics face cream:
rose otto flower water, rose otto flower extract, rose otto flower oil, aloe vera leaf juice, rice bran oil, shea butter, borage seed oil, argan kernal oil, menyanthes leaf extract, passionflower extract, linden flower extract, calendula flower extract, matricaria flower extract, geranium flower oil, clove bud oil.
Thank you so much!
This is fine for pregnancy and nursing

This has a neuropeptide (not technically on my avoid list, but it always makes me a little nervous for pregnancy), gluconolactone and a retinoid. Avoid in pregnancy for sure and if you’re conservative some would avoid in nursing as well.
Hi doctor. Thank you for all amazing information. I’m just wondering some fresh skincare products contain fragrance, is that safe to use during pregnancy? I’ve heard that pregnant should avoid it. Thank you so much!
You can use it, but note that the usual advice to avoid fragrance during pregnancy is because it is a sensitizing time, meaning you’re more likely to develop a reaction to an ingredient.
hi Doc, can you please advise regarding this Fresh’s lip treatment –

The Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate is also a neuropeptide that absorbs into your skin and is meant to “freeze” your muscles similar to botox. I don’t have info on safety but it’s definitely something I’m leary of.

Hi, you’ve listed the Sugar Advanced Therapy Treatment Lip Balm as safe during pregnancy.

Various Fresh shower gels, listed as safe above, contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate. I’ve read this is an ingredient to avoid. What is your take?
It’s one of those things that we don’t actually have evidence for avoiding topically and I don’t know any physicians that recommend avoiding it. Some discussion here: ingredients I’m not worried about during pregnancy
Thank you very much! I really appreciate this site and the effort that goes into it.
