Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Fresh

Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Fresh

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 Fresh as of 4/10/2023. 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, 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. I have reviewed ALL of the lip products. Look for the generic formulation, all shades/flavors are grouped under that. For example: Sugar Melon Lip Treatment = Sugar Lip Treatment.

        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

    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?

    • 4.16.19
      15mins said:

      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.

    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.

      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.

      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 doctor,

    Thank you so much for this conducive list of products. I’ve been using your site since finding out not all skin care products are safe for pregnancy. You’ve made it so easy to look up products from my favorite skincare lines.

    I didn’t notice Fresh’s Sugar Advanced Therapy Recovery Lip Mask on any of the lists. Wondering if you would consider it pregnancy/nursing safe?

    Thank you for all that you do!

    Copied and pasted from Sephora website:

    -Sugar: A natural humectant known to prevent moisture loss.
    -Berry Wax: Conditions and protects the lip moisture barrier.
    -Hyaluronic Filling Spheres: Attract and hold moisture.

    Hi! I noticed that you placed the Kombucha facial treatment essence under the safe for pregnancy and nursing list. However the ingredients list shows sodium benzoate, can you share your rationale?

      Christine said:

      I answered you about Sodium Benzoate yesterday, but it is NOT 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. I do not screen that ingredient out.
