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 Sand & Sky as of 9/25/2021. 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!
Hello!
I was wondering if you could confirm that the following product (which you rated as pregnancy safe) is indeed pregnancy safe, as the website advertizes it as containing “AHA”, which I know you have listed as an ingredient to avoid while pregnant.
Just wanted to check again in case they modified the formula since you reviewed it!
Australian Pink Clay Deep Pore Cleanser
Aqua,Propanediol,Decyl Glucoside,Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6,Cocamidopropyl Betaine,Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate,Glycerin,Macadamia Intergrifolia Seed Oil,Luffa Cylindrica Fruit Powder,Kaolin,Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel),Alcohol,Microcitrus Australis (Rainforest Lime),Citrus Glauca (Desert Lime),Microcitrus Australasica (Finger Lime),Backhousia Citriodora (Lemon Myrtle),Bisabolol,Allantoin,Parfum,Ci 77491,Benzyl Alcohol,Dehydroacetic Acid
Thank you so much!
You only need to worry about AHAs when they’re listed as a chemical. They’re often included in “key ingredients” by marketing people when they’re in extracts/oils, but you don’t need to worry about those.
Thank you so much for clarifying!
