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 Glytone as of 3/12/2023. 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.

Hi! I love your work and swear by it. I’ve also recommended your site to tons of mamas.
I’ve noticed beauty products with glycolic acid are not safe for pregnancy. Are these “not safe” products any percentage of glycolic or just above a certain percentage. I’ve seen a lot of people say under 7-10% is ok but I want to ask your thoughts because you’re so thorough. Thank you!
This discussion will help: But what about this % of an ingredient?
Hi – thank you for compiling all this useful information! Glytone released a new version of its Acne Treatment Mask, now called the Acne Clarifying Treatment Mask. The formula look different. Can you let us know if this mask is pregnancy safe?
