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. 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 products from True Botanicals as of 2/19/2020. 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 refer to my post on pregnancy safe makeup, where I explain why you don’t need to worry about your mascara, powders, eyeliners, etc.
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 True Botanicals 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.

Not Safe for Pregnancy or Nursing
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.

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! Thank you for all of your work to compile this info! On True Botanical site they have a list of pregnancy safe products – The Renew Repair Serum is not listed on that list, while they actually have the Renew Pure Radiance Oil as a package for moms to be… curious on your thoughts, and if there are any concerns with the Serum? Namely, Jasmine Oil?
Their site says that certain products in their collection contain ingredients that some choose to avoid during pregnancy, namely jasmine oil, carrot seed oil, black cumin seed oil, and willow bark extract.
I have info on these situations in this post:
pregnancy beauty FAQ
I also have a post here on the ingredients I screen for. No evidence supporting avoiding jasmine, carrot seed or black cumin, I do screen out willow bark.

Hi, I can’t thank you enough for creating this resource. I just took a look at the full ingredient list for the Clear Pure Radiance Oil, and I do not see Willow Bark listed. Perhaps reformulated since your review, or can be found under another name? Just curious if this product is safe, now?
Are you referring to a different product? Clear Pure Radiance Oil is under avoid in pregnancy and nursing due to Hemp, not willow bark.
