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 Verb Hair Products as of 4/3/2022. 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.

Hello Dr.,
This is my first time being pregnant, so all of the ingredient limitations are a little overwhelming. Your lists have helped me a ton! Is the Verb texture powder okay to use?
Aqua/Water/Eau, Silica Silylate, Silica Dimethicone Silylate, Tapioca Starch, Glycerin, Tilia Tomentosa Bud Extract, Gluconolactone, Parfum/Fragrance, Panthenol, Citric Acid, Calcium Gluconate, VP/VA Copolymer, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Alpha-isomethyl Ionone, Benzyl Cinnamate, Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, Limonene, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool.
Also, if I’m just using the Ghost Oil on my ends, is it okay to use even though is has Salicylate? Thanks!
You don’t need to worry about powders, the discussion is in the makeup post here: Pregnancy Safe Makeup Post
And the discussion about which hair products to worry about is here: Hair products to worry about
But yes, anything not applied to your roots you don’t need to worry about. Occasionally someone will either be incredibly anxious and insist on me screening a product, or they’re applying to their roots when they shouldn’t be applying to their roots. So I screened those products because it saved me time in the long run.
Thanks so much! Can you tell me if the Viori unscented shampoo bar is safe as well?

Remember that you don’t need to screen hair products that aren’t applied directly to your scalp/roots.
Oh thank you! Thats good to know, I get so confused with even the products that don’t go directly on the scalp. Even looking into hairsprays, I’ve seen ingredients like Benzyl Salicylate so it’s a bit confusing but thank you so much again! I have been on this site for months looking into safe products! Such a life saver!
Yes, I wouldn’t worry about anything that you’re not applying right at the roots/scalp, it does make things so much easier! (And I think most hair sprays have salicylate, so it would be really hard to find one that’s safe otherwise!) Personally the sprays I do hold my breath, spray and then step at least 5 feet away. But I always do that, sometimes my asthma gets triggered otherwise.
