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 Youth to the People as of 9/6/2024. 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.

Awesome! So the Yerba mate resurfacing facial (ingredients posted above) is ok for both pregnancy and breastfeeding? Just want to be sure 🙂 thanks so much for being such a great resource! I appreciate your hard work on this site as it helps us be informed 🙂
Yes, ok for both!
Hi, I’ve noticed that you “ok” products that have Phenoxyethanol (like above) and I’ve read that this is a big no for pregnancy. Is there a reason why these products are ok?
There’s not enough evidence out there to support avoiding many ingredients such as phenoxyethanol. I’m a physician, not a “clean lifestyle” blogger, so my list is based upon what’s currently in the medical literature and the expert opinion of other physicians as well. Info on what I screen out is here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Hi! Thank you so much for your amazing extensive research to provide us mamas with some peace of mind!
I was wondering about The ingredient ‘borage seed oil’ which is in YTTP’s adaptogen deep moisture cream. When I look this oil up it says to not use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
What do you think?
Thanks!
I think it’s fine. Info here about what to avoid: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
I have info on these situations in this post:

Hi Dr — is this “Goji Stem Cell” claim irrelevant (… or bogus) to whether this eye cream is safe for pregnancy and nursing?
They haven’t labelled it in the ingredients consistent with actual stem cells
Hi, this one is still in your not safe list but appears OK.
That’s because these comments are from 2 months before the last re-do of the list. If you read the commentary here we couldn’t tell if those were stem cells (they weren’t labelled as such), but then when I redid the list above they had labelled them as stem cells. You need to be careful with using the comments, as they may pre-date the more recent list evaluations, and sometimes comments are also from around the world, and many brands have different formulations for the US, Canada, Australia, Europe and Asia.
The list above is correct.
Could you review the Triple Peptide + Cactus Oasis Serum please?

Hi again!

Hi! Thank you for all your info on here, it’s been so helpful to me. I like using make a lot and noticed the superfood skin reset mask on here for pregnancy and nursing safe but on the site it lists salicylic acid in description. Is it still okay or should avoid?

Hi! I see the superfood cleanser form Sephora is on your list not safe for pregnancy. But I’m comments responding to people you said it was ok for pregnancy…Do you mind clarifying as i currently use it and am now nervous! Thank you so much
It was previously safe, it’s been reformulated. You need to be careful with the comments (unless the ingredients mentioned 100% match your product) as they can be outdated or may be from other areas of the world with different formulations.
The top graphic picture includes the superfood cleanser as safe during pregnancy but in your written list it says it isn’t. Is it not safe?
I don’t update the graphics every year, it takes a lot of time. Please only refer to the text.

Avoid in pregnancy and nursing due to the hemp.
Hello, would you mind explaining why the hemp would be an avoidance? In my understanding it’s a very micro amount and doesn’t include any psychoactive thc but I’m not a Dr so any info you have helps, thank in advance!
The discussion is here:
skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
The gist is that it isn’t ALWAYS non-psychoactive, and even if that’s the case we don’t know what elements in it cause the issues. But MJ is very much linked to issues in kids when they’ve been exposed.
Do you mind me asking what is meant by MJ?
Thanks

Thank you Christine!
Hello Doctor,
I have read that in Pregnancy Gluconolactone is safe to use since it is not absorbed that much through skin and specially in a cleanser it is ok to use during pregnancy. What are your thoughts? I know you tagged superfood cleanser in Not safe during pregnancy category so wondering.
It’s actually more easily absorbed than most AHAs, which is why I screen it out. If I didn’t think it should be avoided, I wouldn’t be screening it as such. The discussion is here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
