Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Neutrogena

Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Neutrogena

Pregnancy safe beauty products 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 pregnancy safe products from Neutrogena as of 7/14/2024. 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: I screened products on the Neutrogena website, but the name they give isn’t always consistent with what is on the packaging. I changed names to match what was on the pictured packaging. So, look for what is on the actual package!

    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.

        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 am currently looking for Neutrogena products that are safe to use during pregnancy. While reviewing the information on your page, I came across a concern about skincare products containing phenoxyethanol. I’ve read materials stating that phenoxyethanol should not be ingested, as the FDA advises it can be toxic and hazardous to newborns, potentially causing central nervous system depression, diarrhea, or vomiting.
        Given this, I noticed that many of the products you recommend as safe for pregnancy still include this ingredient. Could you please clarify whether it is safe for topical use during pregnancy?
        Thank you so much for your time and guidance.

          Christine said:

          You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. It’s 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 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).

      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?

            Christine said:

            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:

            Titanium Dioxide 5%, Zinc Oxide 3%

            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

    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.

        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.

    Water, cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone, butylene glycol, glycerin, dimethicone/PEG-10/15 crosspolymer, mica, PEG-9 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, acrylates/dimethicone copolymer, phenoxyethanol, magnesium sulfate, hydroxyethylcellulose, disodium EDTA, chlorphenesin, sodium hyaluronate, aluminum dimyristate, triethoxycaprylylsilane, disodium stearoyl glutamate, tianium dioxide, iron oxides

    Thank you so much for your help! 🙂

    Hello,

    Thanks for your AMAZING site.

    I am on the hunt for a pregnancy safe, clean, daily face cream.

    From what you’ve said above I want to try the Hydro Boost Gel Cream.

    However, the ingredients on the website are now slightly different: https://www.neutrogena.co.uk/face/moisturisers/hydro-boost-gel-cream#warnings

    Aqua, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Cetearyl Olivate, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethiconol, Polyacrylamide, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Synthetic Beeswax, Sorbitan Olivate, Laureth-7, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol.

    Is it still clean and safe? If not, which daily face cream would you recommend?

    Thank you.

    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?

    Name: Nuetrogena Rainbath Refreshing shower and bath gel

    Ingredients: water, sodium laureth sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium chloride, fragrance, polysorbate 20, PEG – 80 sorbitan laurate, tetrasodium EDTA, citric acid, DMDM hydantoin, sodium hydroxide, propylene glycol, yellow 5, red 40, blue 1.

      You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much.

    Dear Doctor,
    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inquire about the safety of some of the ingredients in a product of Neutrogena (Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Gel de Agua (the new version)), specifically for use 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.

    Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

    Best regards,
    Elsie

      Those are things that we don’t have evidence for avoiding topically and I don’t know any physicians that recommend avoiding them. Some discussion here: ingredients I’m not worried about during pregnancy. Keep in mind, if I was worried, I wouldn’t have created a website screening thousands of products and ignored those ingredients.
