Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Philosophy

Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Philosophy

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 Philosophy as of 2/12/2020. 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.

Note, I’m currently in the process of re-evaluating all of the products from Philosophy. I’ve updated this page with my progress to date. I’ll be done in the next few days!

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.

Not Safe for Pregnancy or Nursing

Note I’m including products with retinoids here, as those are a bit iffy. It depends on how conservative you want to be while nursing (still absolutely contraindicated while pregnant). Refer to my post on ingredients to avoid while nursing for more discussion.

There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.

      I went through the whole brand and only included the safe items in this list (it’s a hold over from the previous post that was HUGE and had to get broken up into brand pages). There’s actually about 5 purity made simple lotions/moisturizers, if yours isn’t listed than it wasn’t.

      No, I wouldn’t use it while pregnant due to the retinoid, and if you’re really conservative about your nursing skincare some wouldn’t use it then either. The activator is fine during pregnancy.

        Hi Doctor,

        Quick question: when there are two different ingredient lists, one from a retail store and one from the manufacturer website, which one should we go with? For example on the above Philosophy Amazing Grace Firming Body Emulsifier, the Ulta ingredients list includes Benzyl Salycilate while the Philosophy website does not. I only saw the Ulta list so automatically put it to the side, since I know salycilates are no-no’s for pregnancy. Checking the Philosophy website, however, it does not list Benzyl Salycilate as an ingredient. I know formulations change too. Would you advise us to be conservative and not use if two lists state different things?

        Thanks
