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 Redken as of 8/29/2024. 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.

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!
Hello,
I am wondering about fragrance in hair products. Is this something you recommend avoiding or no because it’s being rinsed off? I keep seeing it listed as a no-no ingredient everywhere else but it’s confusing.
You don’t really need to worry about fragrances per my discussions with OBs
Hello,
Is Redken Hair Cleansing Cream Clarifying Shampoo ok to use during pregnancy?

Should’ve actually looked at the ingredients before trusting this website the volume injection shampoo has salicylic acid in it
Per ULTA, these are the full ingredients, and Salicylic Acid is not anywhere in the list. Note, my site very specifically points out in every post “how to use this list” where I tell you to specifically ALWAYS check your individual product, as I review the information available to me online provided by the brands and retailers.

Hi Dr, thank you so much for providing such a wonderful site! I’m based in Aus and am just wondering whether these products are safe for nursing (my recently dyed blonde hair is quite yellow/orange in parts)! I could see similar descriptions in your list, but not exact matches so am wondering whether they might be slightly different in Aus?
Thanks so much, it is very reassuring having this website to check as most of the ingredients in these types of products mean absolutely nothing to me!!

The conditioner is Safe for pregnancy and nursing
But the shampoo is only Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to salicylic acid.
The shampoo actually won’t be as helpful with fixing the brassiness in your hair (it spends less time on your hair anyways), I’d just use something that’s pregnancy safe for shampoo and pair it with the conditioner that you leave on longer for regular use. I’d consider looking into a purple hair mask (in the US we have quite a few, the Joico one works really well on my daughter’s super blonde hair when she’s getting brassy)
Thanks so much! I’ve just had a look and I can get Joico in Australia, so will buy some of that too! Thanks again
