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 Ultra Violette as of 1/18/2022. 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.
Don’t See Your Product? Read This Before You Ask About It…
Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines or are rude.

I’m a doctor, a mommy and a bit of a beauty addict. If you let me, I can take 2 hours to get ready in the morning. Really. I'm on a quest for faster beauty that works!
Hi there, can you please let me know why ‘Queen Screen SPF 50+ Luminising Serum SKINSCREEN™: Chemical Sunscreens’ isn’t safe for pregnancy? Their website says all their sunscreens are safe. I’m also looking for a non-greasy physical sunscreen that is safe for pregnancy if you can suggest any? Thanks
That’s already in the list above.
I’d love to know too – their site says it is safe.
Chemical sunscreens aren’t safe, they’re linked to a specific birth defect. Info here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
This will also help: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
Hi there, just wondering which ingredient in the clean screen is the chemical sunscreen component as I thought titanium dioxide was a physical sunscreen?
Titanium Dioxide is a physical sunscreen. But there are more sunscreens in there.
Here are the ingredients:
Active Ingredients: Titanium dioxide 3%, Methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol 2.25%, Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate 1.6%
Inactive ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Titanium Dioxide, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, Silica, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Caprylyl Glycol, Polysorbate 60, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Saccharide Isomerate, Decyl Glucoside, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Dimethicone, Sodium Chloride, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (Iron Oxides).
Methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol = Bisoctrizole, a chemical sunscreen
Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate = Uvinul A Plus, a chemical sunscreen
