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 pregnancy safe beauty products from Sephora Collection as of 6/27/2019. 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.

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.
• Instant Mask: Hemp Mousse (Cannabis, Chemical Sunscreen and Salicylate)
• Jelly Mask Moisturizing & Energizing: Retinoid
• Supreme Cleansing Oil: Retinoid

August 10, 2019 at 2:38 pmHi, I have a question about the glow peel pads. The front of the product says GLY Glycolic Acid and the notes on the website says it’s highlighted ingredient is “glycolic acid from sugar cane.” However the ingredient list doesn’t seem to have glycolic acid expressly stated, perhaps it is part of one of the other chemicals? Can you please confirm whether these are safe to use since they say they contain glycolic acid? Here is the ingredient list:
Water, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Glycerin, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Butylene Glycol, Levulinic Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Perfume (Fragrance), Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Hydroxide, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Citric Acid, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Potassium Sorbate
15mins says
August 13, 2019 at 8:01 pmWhen it isn’t stated (and is more implied in the actual ingredient list) it’s ignored. It isn’t really considered to be in a high enough amount that we worry about it
