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 Skin1004 as of 9/4/2024. 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.

Hello! I’ve noticed most of these centella serums contains Butylene glycol. I’ve read a couple warnings to not use this ingredient. Would you please advise the safety behind it and if that ingredient is okay? Thank you!!
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
Hi! Those are new products from Skin1004, can you confirm if it is safe? Thank you! 🙂

Also I wanted to clarify: I thought brightening products were supposed to be avoided in pregnancy. In that case, why is the MADAGASCAR CENTELLA TONE BRIGHTENING BOOSTING TONER considered pregnancy and nursing safe?
Ingredients:
Centella Asiatica Extract(90%), 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Propanediol, Betaine, Allantoin, Panthenol, Madecassoside, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Water, Glucose, Disodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin
#1 is Safe for pregnancy and nursing
It’s not brightening products in general that need to be avoided, it’s some of the most common active ingredients such as Hydroquinone, Arbutin, Kojic Acid (those all need to be avoided in both pregnancy and nursing), and Licorice Root (which comes in many derivatives, only needs to be avoided in pregnancy). This product uses Niacinamide, which is pregnancy safe, as are all of the other ingredients.
Hi Doctor, can you let me know if this product is safe for pregancy, please?

Hi. My question is why is Bakuchiol listed as an unsafe ingredient? It is often marketed to be the safer alternative to retinol?
It isn’t safer. It works via the exact same mechanism as a chemical retinoid (so does bidens pilosa), so they’re marketing it as safer because we don’t have actual studies that it isn’t safe (like we do retinoids) but it makes zero sense that something that works the same way wouldn’t also have the same side effects.
