   Hello. I have just stumbled upon your website while searching for facial products safe for pregnancy. I would like to tell you that your website is very useful! However, I would like to check with you if Neutrogena’s On-the-spot acne treatment, containing benzoyl peroxide, is safe for pregnancy? Thank you in advance. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply my query. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

     No, note I reviewed the entire line as of the date above and it was left off for that reason. You can read more about which ingredients to avoid during pregnancy in my skincare ingredients to avoid post, that list includes benzoyl peroxide.

       Hello,
       I find your pages very useful and have been using many of them as my product reference Bible during pregnancy.
       The Neutrogena blackhead eliminating facial scrub isn’t mentioned on your list so I’m assuming the product is relatively new on the market. Here are the ingredients-
       [Pr-0000067], Aqua, Cetyl Alcohol, Ppg-15 Stearyl Ether, Cellulose, Glycerin, Polysorbate 60, Steareth-21, Salicylic Acid, Chondrus Crispus, Glucose, Agar, Menthyl Lactate, Pvp, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Chloride, Ammonium Polyacrylate, Mica, Sodium Hydroxide, Bht, Phenoxyethanol, Benzoic Acid, Dehydroacetic Acid, Parfum, Ci 77492, Ci 77891, Ci 73360

       Unfortunately it doesn’t mention what % of salicylic acid. Please guide. Thanks in advance 😊

       I noticed the above has Hyaluronic Acid. Is that considered safe now?
       • 9.6.19

         15mins said:

         Hyaluronic acid has always been considered safe. It is a very large molecule made naturally within your skin, it isn’t an “acid”, it has many uses but in skincare it works to hold water at the surface of the skin. It has a difficult time penetrating down into the skin (it comes “fractionated” now, which means broken up/smaller, and that can penetrate the skin, but it isn’t really thought to get into the blood stream).

         You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. Parabens are not considered ingredients to avoid by the medical community.

   Your site has helped me so much to figure out what to use during my pregnancy! Curious about the Neutrogena light therapy mask. Thank you so much!!
   • 5.1.19

     15mins said:

     I thought it would be ok as it’s a light and not a laser, but I have some OB and Derm friends who recommend avoiding it. It’s a big unknown, and the thought is that with the treatments things are released from the cells in the area that would be able to reach the baby. I’m not sure how much this happens and if it could even be harmful (because it happens with normal cell death anyways), but that’s why the caution. I’ve kind of decided to remain neutral and tell people to ask their own doctors and decide for themselves 🙂

    Good afternoon. I have a question concerning one of your recommendations. On this page you have Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Moisturizer listed as not safe during pregnancy (due to Gluconolactone), but it is listed as a recommended product for the basic drugstore skincare routine on a different page of your site. Has the formula changed and it is no longer an acceptable product?

            You need to click the link to the version I posted. The version I posted is the sensitive skin version, it has no chemical sunscreens and these are the ingredients:

            Inactive ingredients

            Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Isononanoate, Styrene/acrylates Copolymer, Dimethicone, Silica, Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Peg-100 Stearate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Alumina, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Peg-75 Stearate, Pentylene Glycol, Bisabolol, Caprylyl Glycol, Isohexadecane, Chlorphenesin, Aluminum Stearate, Disodium Edta, PPG-12/smdi Copolymer, Ceteth-20, Steareth-20, Dipropylene Glycol Dibenzoate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Polysorbate 60, Ppg-15 Stearyl Ether Benzoate, BHT.

            This is what was posted above, which DOES have chemical sunscreens, it was not even on Neutrogena’s website when I did my last brand review (and the lastest version even has an added retinoid and needs to be avoided in pregnancy and nursing), the unsafe version is NOT linked as safe by me (it is not even in my list above):
            Active ingredients

            Avobenzone 3% Homosalate 12% Octisalate 5% Octocrylene 2.35% Oxybenzone 6%

            Inactive ingredients

            Water, Dimethicone, Trisiloxane, Diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalate, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Behenyl Alcohol, Caprylyl Methicone, Ethylhexylglycerin, Pantothenic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol, Bht, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides, Styrene/acrylates Copolymer, Cetearyl Glucoside, Xanthan Gum, Disodium Edta, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylisothiazolinone, Benzyl Alcohol

            This is why when you read the page about how to use this list (FYI, linked in every single list) I say to not rely on the names alone, but that you need to click the links. YES, neutrogena has multiple products with the same name, I can not help this, I am not neutrogena. And different stores will use the names slightly differently. I know it’s confusing, that’s why you need to click to see exactly which product. Also, the original comment that started this is almost 3 years old. Please read my post instead of comments from years ago.

    Hi

    I just noticed that one of the products from Neutrogena is listed on this page both on pregnancy safe list and in the list that is unsafe for pregnancy.

    Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover is listed as safe

    Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser: Willow Bark (Salicylate) not safe.

    But when I open the link for both it shows the same product. On Neutrogena website also these two are the same. https://www.neutrogena.com/skin/skin-cleansers/neutrogena-naturals-fresh-cleansing-makeup-remover/6802518.html

I contacted Neutrogena directly but their representative was unable to confirm whether this is pregnancy safe. I have read information online stating it disrupts the hormone system. Can you please provide your insight on this ingredient? Thank you! Gillian

    Hi, first of all thank you very much for compiling all this information and share it with us. I have a doubt in regards of the Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face Dry touch, which you listed as safe during pregnancy, but reading the ingredients list I found out it has
    POLYHYDROXYSTEARIC ACID. This kind of acid is listed on your article “Pregnancy Skin care ingredients to avoid” as not safe during pregnancy. So I’m a little confused here. Thank you so much in advance.
    • 5.13.20

      15mins said:

      That isn’t an alpha or beta hydroxy acid. Actually most things listed as acids in products don’t fall under either category. That’s actually an emulsifier/stabilizing agent found in many products and is fine.

    I was just wondering if the Aus version of the Hydro Boost Water Gel is pregnancy safe. I’m never sure if the ingredients are exactly the same but they seemed slightly different, so I thought I would check!

    Water, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Penoxyethanol, Polyacrylamide, Cetearyl Olivate, Dimethiconol, Sorbitan Olivate, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Chlorphenesin, Carbomer, Laureth-7, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethythexylglycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance, C12-14 Pareth -12

    Many thanks 🙂

         Thank you so much for the reply and the reassurance because I was concerned about tocopheryl acetate which in some sites is associated with hydroquinone which I know is forbidden in pregnancy.

     Hi! Thank you for your quick responses and the very helpful pages. Much appreciated from an Australian who hasn’t been in the USA long.

     It’s quite overwhelming with all the information online. I had no idea that some make-ups were not safe to use…so I thought I’d better check this one, it’s a Nuetrogena body wash. It’s on your ‘not safe’ list due to salylic acid. However I can’t find it in the bottle ingredients listed! Would you mind checking if you have time?

     Is Phenoxyethanol okay? I see some info saying it is a no go for pregnancy/nursing and many products on the list include that ?
     • 8.28.22

       Christine said:

       You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. Phenoxyethanol is not considered an ingredient to avoid by the medical community based upon the current evidence. My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

     Could you please advise me on the safety of [Dimethicone， Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethiconol， and Parfum] for use during pregnancy? If there are any potential risks or concerns associated with these ingredients, I would greatly appreciate any information or advice you can provide.

       Those are things that we don’t have evidence for avoiding topically and I don’t know any physicians that recommend avoiding them.
