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 Susanne Kaufmann as of 9/19/2021. 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.
How to Request a Product Review
I try to review all of the products that I can when I publish a list. Note, I am in the US and I only have access to US products. Please don’t be rude if I skipped your favorite cleanser, when items are out of stock sometimes they aren’t on the brand’s site, or maybe you are in Asia and I am in the US.
I reserve the comments on each post for reviews of product from that brand, this makes it easier for others to find products later. Please only ask about Susanne Kaufmann on this post, I will delete other product questions. You can find other brands here. If your brand is not included, please ask on the brand list post.

Hi! I was wondering if the Susanne Kaufmann Eye Rescue Stick Line A is safe during pregnancy?
Apparently the Liftiss (from Baobab pulp) contains AHA and xylose…
Ingredients:
aqua purificata (water), cichorium intybus (chicory) root oligosaccharides, glycerin, caesalpinia spinosa gum, sodium benzoate, gluconolactone, adansonia digitata pulp extract, xanthan gum, pentylene glycol nat., propanediol, jasminum sambac flower extract, crataegus monogyna flower extract, magnolia officinalis bark extract, alcohol plant, lecithin, ubiquinone hyaluronate, potassium phosphate, sodium hyaluronate, menthyl ethylamido oxalate, caffeine, hydroxyethylcellulose, cardiospermum halicacabum seed extract, arginine, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, citric acid, parfum (fragrance from natural scents)

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to salicylate
Thanks for reply!
I have read some articles and its mention
“skin is often more sensitive during pregnancy, it’s best to use products with lactobionic acid or gluconolactone. These are polyhydroxy acids (PHA), these PHA safe during preganancy and much more gentle and less irritating on the skin and as a bonus, they also act as a humectant and a powerful antioxidant. ”
It makes me confused about gluconolactone pregnancy safty concern…..
It’s not known to be pregnancy safe for sure, they work just like alpha hydroxy acids and are better and penetrating the skin and getting into your system. The physicians I have talked to about it are pretty much only worried about gluconolactone, some of the others (lactobionic acid in particular) are find in pretty high amounts in foods like milk. But gluconolactone in products is usually a much higher amount than in anything you’d ingest. More here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

Thank you!
This version is Safe for pregnancy and nursing, but note it is very different than the US version that is included in the post and I had screened on their website. I would check your ingredients carefully.
Thank you!
Suzanne Kaufman Eye cream line F surprisingly states in their website “ This product contains witch hazel which is not recommended for use by pregnant or nursing mothers. Always consult your doctor before using new products while pregnant or nursing.” Can you please opine on this? I thought witch hazel was one of the safe ingredients. Thank you
This discussion will be helpful: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
I don’t know any physicians who recommend avoiding witch hazel, if that helps.
Dear Christine,
Can you please have a look at this mask? It looks like the product ingredients in the UK is very much different. Thank you very much!

I’m not certain if the MALUS DOMESTICA FRUIT CELL CULTURE EXTRACT is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.
Other than that ingredient, this is safe for pregnancy and nursing
