   Do you have any mascaras or lipsticks/glosses you recommend during pregnancy?

     Mascara only goes on your lashes, which can’t absorb anything. I wouldn’t worry about that at all. I haven’t looked specifically at other makeup because formulations change very quickly. Every time I try to create a post, things change very soon after.

     The ingredients you have listed are fine, but note it states “Inactive ingredients”, the sunscreens are listed under “active ingredients” before that, those are usually the ones that make a BB cream one to avoid. What are the active ingredients?

   Can you check on these two Farsali primers? Also, does the list above include all primers for each brand? I see you have one primer listed for Too Faced so I assume the Hanger rx primer is not safe since it isn’t listed?

     Right, for this post I’ve reviewed all of the primers for those brands. The Hanger Rx wasn’t safe. I haven’t looked at it again so I don’t remember off hand why it wasn’t safe, but I do remember being disappointed that it wasn’t safe.

     Both of these lists look ok to me!

      As noted in the post, I have specific posts for different product types and most of the products you are asking about have already been addressed in those posts. It is very time consuming for me to go through ingredient lists, I am no longer answering for those products over and over. I’m sorry, I simply do not have the time in the day.

      Re: primer, as stated in the post, all of the primers from each of the brands have been reviewed, only those that are safe are included here. If your primer is not included it isn’t safe.

      The Mario Badescu will be in the skin care post: Pregnancy Safe Skin Care

      Makeup is addressed in the pregnancy safe makeup post, but you don’t worry about powders. Pregnancy Safe Foundations here. Pregnancy safe concealers is in progress now and will be published tomorrow.

      Pregnancy Safe body Sunscreens and Pregnancy Safe Facial Sunscreens, BB & CC Creams, note only physical sunscreens are safe, you’ve listed 2 chemical sunscreens. The foundation is also a chemical sunscreen and won’t be safe.

        Thanks for your reply . But you have not included all of the safe primer that is why when people provided the list you have replied on that . And it may not be possible for you to provide all of the product in one post .And foundation and other skin care products I have not found in our other post that is the reason I posted here .

    Thank you so much for this post! I really appreciate it and I’m checking out some of the other posts you’ve mentioned here as well. I’m pregnant with my third child, but have only really dove into makeup within the last 4 years or so, since my last child was born. Great information! Instead of me listing a million ingredients of a product, would you mind telling me of a color correcting primer (green for redness) specifically that is safe? I purchased Laura Geller Spackle Soothing today, but I’m open to others. I was checking out Smashbox Primers as well, but I don’t think I saw the color correcting primer on your safe list. Thank you again for your time and this info!

        I like it for winter. I normally have super oily skin with huge pores (I use smashbox pore-minimizing in summer) but most pore-minimizing primers are drying. This seems to half-blur pores but moisturize. Reminds me of playdough to be honest haha!

    Would you please indulge me with the Becca Backlight Priming Filter Face Primer? Having read your posts, I suspect it’s not safe because of the licorice but I wanted to make sure. Would it be equally be unsafe for nursing? Ugh, I just love it so hahaha… thank you!!

    Thank you so much for all of these wonderful lists you have provided! I have learned even more from the comments and answers too. I’m happy to know that I can continue to use some of the primers I already own, but can you please help an ingredients newbie like me understand why BHT/butylated hydroxytoluene in makeup is ok while toluene in nail polish is not? They must be different, but seeing toluene within the word gives me pause.
    • 9.29.18

      15mins said:

      There’s no evidence that you need to avoid anything in nail polish, your nails are dead proteins and can’t absorb anything. A few polish brands started coming out with fewer chemicals and making a big deal about this years ago, but it was a marketing thing. Toluene isn’t on any of the lists of things to avoid because we don’t have any evidence that you need to avoid during pregnancy.

      Cover FX did just reformulate everything, but I redid the list very recently, AFTER the reformulation. I don’t think I redated it. But I redid the graphics and the list in the last 5 weeks or so.
      The Laura Geller is ok for nursing only (not pregnancy due to the licorice root)
      The MAC I would avoid during pregnancy due to the Willow Bark (a salicylate) and the Salicylic Acid. Ok for nursing though.

        Thank you! I went to look again and still didn’t see the Cover FX in the list. It’s kind of an old bottle (1 year old) so maybe it was discontinued. Based on the ingredients I included, would you say it’s okay for pregnancy?

I’m from Philippines and unfortunately not all the brands in the “lists” are available here.

       Here’s my safety blurb I wrote about the Hemp:
       There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well. Note Hemp does not have THC in it, it’s breed out of the plant basically. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.

       The other ingredients are all ok, but I won’t say that something with hemp/cannabis is safe for the reasons above.

       I don’t see any ingredients of concern other than the Cannabis. Here’s my little blurb on that, it’s up to you whether you will risk it or not.

       There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
       Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.
