Pregnancy safe skincare 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 skincare products from Tula Skincare as of 8/18/2019. 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 note, it can take up to an hour to review the ingredient lists of each product. I review with my own list of pregnancy safe criteria. I obtain my ingredient lists from the brands and major retailers (typically Nordstrom and Sephora), and I review the US versions. Please do not ask me to re-review the same products over and over, I do not have the time to do so, and many people have been rude about this. For more brands, please head over to the list of pregnancy safe products.

July 20, 2019 at 3:34 amI am 6 weeks pregnant, and have used the Tula purifying cleanser, daily, until I realized, today, that it has retinyl palmitate, a form of retinol. I cried for about an hour, and am now so very worried that I have Done irreversible damage to my developing child. Please advise.

July 21, 2019 at 2:38 amI had the same discovery tonight. I don’t know how I missed it, but they really didn’t advertise it!! I used it for about a month before switching to Andalou Naturals but just realized tonight about the Retinyl.

September 24, 2019 at 6:40 pmThat’s a reformulation if true. This list looks ok, but check your package to make sure you have the new one. I just pulled the cleanser out of my cabinet (I may have bout like 5 when they were on sale on QVC last year), and retinyl palmitate is listed in the middle of the ingredients. I just updated above that it is pregnancy safe with this list of ingredients if that’s on yours!
