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 Missha as of 4/8/2019. 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 10, 2019 at 4:05 pmHi! I am curious to know how you feel about phenoxyethanol. I know the ingredient is in a lot of different skin care products, makeup, shampoo, etc. and I’ve been hearing a lot of mixed opinions on the safety of it.

June 12, 2019 at 9:00 amHi! Thank you so much for taking your time out to do this for all of us. I see you have the Time Revolution First Treatment Essence *Intensive Moist* as a safe product on your list, but how about the original Time Revolution First Treatment Essence Intensive? I tried to compare the ingredients for both, but it seems that the original had some more that are not included in the Intensive Moist. Hence, I would love your input. Also, I did not see the Son and Park Beauty Water on your website, but if I missed it I apologize for asking again, but would you mind letting me know if it is safe for pregnancy? I will post the ingredients for both items below.
