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 4/17/2019. 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.

April 16, 2019 at 6:31 pmOne 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?
15mins says
April 16, 2019 at 8:54 pmLip 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.
