It probably is not a surprise that I get a lot of questions about pregnancy safe skincare and makeup. After all, I have a full guide to pregnancy safe skin care, and I am constantly reviewing ingredient lists of products to let my readers know if products are safe to use during pregnancy or not.
Recently there’s been a big increase in questions about pregnancy safe makeup, and what to worry about. Most of the emails and PMs about pregnancy safe makeup are from readers who sound very anxious about the ingredients in these products, much more so than readers asking about skincare, everyone wants to use the safest makeup during pregnancy. I felt that a full post addressing specific concerns was in order.
I’m not going to list pregnancy safe makeup products here, I will start individual posts (linked below and in my pregnancy safe skincare guide) to list some safe products. Please direct questions about specific products to those correct posts, I want to consolidate those questions to those posts so other readers can see what has already been asked about.
Anxiety Concerns
I feel as a physician I should mention that if you are feeling a lot of anxiety about your skincare or makeup while pregnant, you need to talk to your physician. I think you should talk about the products you’re worried about, but you really need to address the anxiety itself and consider treatment. Anxiety and depression go hand in hand, both can be debilitating, and having an increase in problems while pregnant can indicate an even higher risk for postpartum depression. Just because you are pregnant does not mean you should suck it up and press forward. In fact, it can (and should) be addressed and treated. I have had real concerns about some of the readers that write to me. If you think you fit into that description at all, please bring it up with your doctor.
Makeup vs Skincare
I want to point out that makeup is very different than skincare. Your skin’s primary job is to act as a barrier to the outside world. This is something that skincare companies need to formulate products to act against, and even then penetrating and getting active ingredients down into your skin can be difficult. Makeup is not formulated to be absorbed, it actually needs to do the exact opposite, it needs to stay on the surface of your skin and last all day being pretty. Keep that in mind when you’re concerned about your makeup.
Which Makeup to Worry About While Pregnant
Next, you need to think about the makeup you’re worrying about. Remember that skincare is made to absorb into your skin, but your mascara will only be on your lashes, which are made up of dead proteins. They’re not absorbing anything.
Don’t worry about:
This is very important, I will not screen these products for you because you don’t need to worry about them.
• Eyeliner: it’s mostly wax, your skin can’t absorb it. This is true of liquid, wax, cream…. all eyeliners. They are film formers, they concentrate their formulation on creating this product that sits there and looks exactly the same for many hours.
• Mascara: Your lashes are dead hair, the mascara is on this only and it can’t absorb anything. This also applies to the “serum” mascaras that promise to help your lashes grow longer. They’re really just a slightly more conditioning mascara, they still do not need to be screened.
• Powder products: they sit on the surface of the skin, this includes powder foundations, face powders, bronzers, highlighters, blushes, and eye shadows.
• Brow Products: Pretty much all formulations are fine. It’s a brow powder, a pencil like an eyeliner, or sometimes a mascara that goes on the brow hairs. The same arguments as above.
Check the label: I worry more about creams/liquids that are more likely to absorb into the skin. I would look at the labels of BB and CC Creams, Foundation Primers, foundation and concealer. I also check lip products, because even though a lipstick is pretty waxy and won’t absorb as much, you’ll be licking and ingesting your lip products.
Why Is It So Hard to List Pregnancy Safe Makeup?
Unlike skincare products, it can be very hard to track down the ingredient list for makeup products online. Not all brands will list the ingredients for a face primer like they would a night cream.
In addition, the ingredient lists can vary depending upon shade of a product. The pigment for a red lipstick is different than that of a nude lipstick and might need different stabilizing ingredients to be included in the formulation for example. When makeup is listed in my lists, I have reviewed every shade of that formulation. There is no need to ask about the matte lipstick in red if the link goes to hot pink. I reviewed red already. I will call out specific shades that have issues or are different.
Remember that makeup formulations are more likely to change than the ingredients in a night cream, and the brand is much less likely to announce a change in formula for a makeup product. They’ll announce a “new update” for a cream, but they usually don’t do this if there’s a change in a makeup product.

Hi,
Loving your posts. 🙂
I’m curious about the Rimmel range re pregnancy safe….
– Stay Matte Makeup Primer

Should I be concerned with using powder bronzer, blush and eyeshadows?
No, they just sit on the surface of your skin. Just ignore the powders.
Hi, i have been using the conceler form Nars and from Tarte the tape shape, i want to know if they are safe. If they are not safe, do you have a good and safe one? And also a lipstick brand as well.

Please check the post with the big list of pregnancy safe skincare products as this post is only about makeup. Both Clarins and La Mer have had their entire lines reviewed, if your products are NOT on the list they are not safe.
Hi Christine,
Do pregnant women need to worry about deodorants?
Also, what about body lotion? Or hand cream?
Is there any common body lotion you recommend?
Thank you so much!
There are very few deodorants that you should avoid, most are totally fine. I have an almost completed post about them, almost done!
I haven’t worked on body products yet. I tell everyone to use the Cetaphil cream, that one works for body and hands 🙂
Just wondering if this lipstick is okay? Thank you!

I wouldn’t use large amounts of any extracts/essential oils straight on my skin while pregnant (actually, I wouldn’t do that ever), but in the small amounts they’re mixed into other products they’re fine (except for Willow Bark).
All of these products look ok to me 🙂
Thanks so much!! I am so happy I found your site! ☺

The list is fine, but you also don’t need to worry about powders as they sit on the surface of your skin
Do you suggest any pregnancy safe eyeshadows?
Powders are all fine to use
Hi!
Thank you for your post. It’s very helpful.
Is Fresh sugar lip treatment ok? Also should we avoid liquid eyeliner that contains paraben? I find most liquid eyeliners do have parabens. But pencil eyeliners smudges like crazy so I don’t have any eyeliners to use…

This lip product has chemical sunscreens.
You don’t need to avoid parabens! 🙂
Hi, I like your post. Very helpful 🙂
I also found so many foundation and concealor contain Paraben. For example, Maybelline Fit Foundation and Concealer contain methylparaben and butylparaben.
Creams/liquids are more likely absorb into skin.
Some articles said that Paraben can mimic the activity of the hormone estrogen in the body’s cells.
Are they okay to use?
Could you please explain?
Thank you 🙂
Parabens are fine to use. There’s a bit of a discussion in my post on what ingredients to avoid in your skin care while pregnant.
Hi there! Can you please tell me if these lipsticks are safe to use during pregnancy?

Thank you so much. These are part of my daily routine so it would mean a lot to know if they are safe or not now that I am pregnant. God bless!
They all have retinyl palmitate so I’d swap to something else. Sorry!
Thank you so much for checking sweetie. Can retinyl palmitate cause harm to the baby? Can I use retinol products while breastfeeding?
It can cause harm, it’s the one that really is known to cause harm (though most of the evidence is with the prescription by mouth form). There’s some who say you can use it while nursing (I used it), but more recently I’ve noticed more dermatologists and OBs saying to avoid it.
Wow… I can’t thank you enough for that info. I will be discontinuing usage. You’re a lifesaver. Do you mind checking these two other lipsticks for me?

Is there any brand of lipgloss or lipstick that you have found is safe for pregnancy?
Not consistently, it’s mostly color dependent. That’s why there’s no post on it. Some formulations have 40-50 shades, going through all of them, and then listing which are safe and which aren’t…. I just can’t face it.
Hi Doctor, I really love your website.
I understand how difficult it is to list all of safe lipstick by their ingredients. I am currently using this one and I wonder if this is safe to use. Are there any specific ingredients in lip products that we should watch out for?Thank you very much for your help.

Inactive Ingredients: beeswax, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, isoamyl laurate, butrospermum parkii (shea) butter, flavor, limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) seed oil, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel wax, jojoba esters, glycine soja (soybean) oil, tocopherol, citric acid, rebaudioside A, polyhydroxystearic acid.
Both of these look fine. I just look for the same ingredients as skincare. Even though lipstick really stays on the surface of the lips more, they’re still your lips and you can’t help but eat some of it!
Thank you very much for your answer!

Those lip products are all ok. The NYX Matte setting spray is not, it has a salicylate, and the wet and wild has licorice root. I have a post in the works for pregnancy safe setting sprays already!
Hi, thanks for your articles!
I would like to confirm if EDTA is safe or harmful as to some articles that I have read, it is one ingredient that should be avoided when pregnant.
May I also ask regarding one product if it’s safe to use while pregnant, it’s called 3m cavilon extra dry skin cream with the following ingredients:
Active Ingredients: Dimethicone
Inactive Ingredients: Water, glycerin, soybean oil, PEG stearate, 1-glyceryl stearate
Thanks in advance
EDTA is ok, and this product is fine

There’s more info in the post above, but you don’t need to worry about anything powder, mascara, or eyeliner. The only list here I would even check is the lipstick (because no matter what you end up eating some of it), and this looks fine to me.
Hello,
Is ‘Australis Primer The Original’ safe? Ingredients are:
Aqua (Water), Cetearyl alcohol, Isononyl isononanoate, Phenoxyethanol, Cetearyl isononanoate, Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Tocopheryl acetate, C14-22 alcohols, Mel (Honey), Sodium ascorbyl phosphate, Sodium hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Propylene glycol, C12-20 alkyl glucoside, Cucumis sativus (Cucumber) fruit extract, Citrus aurantium dulcis (Orange) oil, Parfum (Fragrance), Geranium maculatum (Geranium) oil, Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera) leaf juice, Faex (Yeast extract), Retinyl palmitate, Arachis hypogaea (Peanut) oil, Phosphoric acid, Sodium benzoate, Diazolidinyl urea, Potassium sorbate, DMDM hydantoin, Sodium sulfite, Rosa damascena (Rose) flower water, Tocopherol, CI 19140 (Yellow 5), CI 14700 (Red 4)
Sorry, this has a retinoid.
I’ve been using this up to now (6weeks pregnant) should i be worried? (didn’t know make-up could be harmful!)
I would discontinue use but wouldn’t stress too much about it. It’s lower in the list of ingredients and you’re stopping right away.
Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid purchased in Australia has slightly different ingredients, could you please confirm if this is ok:
G682476 6 INGREDIENTS: AQUA / WATER, ISODODECANE, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DIMETHICONE, GLYCERIN, CYCLOHEXASILOXANE, PEG-9 POLYDIMETHYLSILOXYETHYL DIMETHICONE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE, PEG-10 DIMETHICONE, CETYL PEG/PPG-10/1 DIMETHICONE, PHENOXYETHANOL, SODIUM CHLORIDE, POLYGLYCERYL-4 ISOSTEARATE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, DISODIUM STEAROYL GLUTAMATE, PARFUM / FRAGRANCE, ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE, ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE, SILICA DIMETHYL SILYLATE, ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE, LINALOOL, CITRONELLOL, METHICONE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, HEXYLENE GLYCOL, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE, [+/- MAY CONTAIN: CI 77891 / TITANIUM DIOXIDE, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 / IRON OXIDES, CI 15985 / YELLOW 6 LAKE].

Quick question: a couple of my lippies are about 3 years old {who can ever finish a tube of lipstick?? 🙂 ).
Would this be harmful to my little bun?
The age itself isn’t a problem fo rme
Hello, could you please advise on YSL ROUGE PUR COUTURE THE SLIM

Thank you!
This is ok!
Hi Doctor Christine,
What about make up removal and setting spray? Should we check the labels of those asl well?
Thank you a lot!
I would check both of those as well
Thank you Doctor! Do you have a recommendation for an affordable eye-makeup removal? I know on your Instagram you recommend Lancome Bi-facil but It is a little beyond my price-range :p
Right now i’m just using mabeline eye make up removal with the following ingredients and i’m not sure if it’s safe to use once i’m pregnant:
AQUA/WATER, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, ISOHEXADECANE, ISOPROPYL PALMITATE, PANTHENOL,DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, POLOXAMER 184, POLYAMINOPROPYL BIGUANIDE, POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, CI 61.Product Info565/ GREEN 6 (FIL B722.Product Kit2/3)
Thank you
Those ingredients are safe! Let me know if it works really well. I haven’t found a decent lower priced eye makeup remover for years, my old favorite was discontinued by Hard Candy.
Thank you! i’m glad that it is safe because i have been using it for forever now. It is affordable, simple and gets the job done. I havent used other expensive option so I cant really tell you how different it is from those. There was as time that I tried using only Shu Uemura oil make up remover and skip this Maybeline eye-make up removing step, and it dried out my eyes so bad it irritates my eye, making them itchy! 🙁
I’m not living in the US so this is the version available in my country: https://www.maybelline.vn/mat/taytrang/lip-and-eye-makeup-remover/8992304009341
I checked Maybeline US and they are not offering this any more I think 🙁 I can gladly send you one if you’d like 😀 (though it does sound so funny to offer to send a Maybeline product to the US haha)
LOL It does sound funny! That’s very sweet of you to offer, but I’m sure the shipping alone would be 3x the cost of the product! It feels like quite a few products have been discontinued recently, hopefully that means a new wave of products is coming out soon.
Also Doctor, do you need help listing down all the pregnancy-safe products that people have asked in the comments and you confirmed? I do read the comments for posting a question of my own, and I can see that a lot of comments are repetition of questions and that you already answered 😀
I feel like this is the least that I can do for all the kindness that you have shown us <3
Thanks for the offer! I actually decided not to go and add things back up to the top since I don’t know where people get the lists sometimes as some of them (brands like Dior for instance) I can’t find listed anywhere.
Hello Doctor, I just read your posts and so inspired.
I want to ask about some of my make up product, wondering if it safe or not for pregnancy.

Also I read that certain shades of red as in Red lake can contain lead and this can be harmful. Is that correct?
Thanks for all your help
They’re both fine. You don’t need to worry about powder products at all actually.
I think there are some contaminants in some colorants, but they are so small in amount and sporadic that we don’t worry about them. I would worry about lead exposure from certain pottery items for example rather than from makeup.
Thank you so much
Is the BareMinerals Correcting Concealer with SPF 20 safe for pregnancy? Thank you! Ingredients:
Titanium Dioxide 15.0%. Inactive Ingredients: Isodecyl Isononanoate, Phenyl Trimethicone, Isocetyl Alcohol, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Polyethylene, Trioctyldodecyl Citrate, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Octadecenedioic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Cetyl Esters, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer, Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer, Lecithin, Lauryl Pca, Hydrogen Dimethicone, Vp/Hexadecene Copolymer, Alumina, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Saccharomyces/Copper Ferment, Lactobacillus/Lemon Peel Ferment Extract, Phenoxyethanol.

So pretty much all whitening ingredients are on the “to avoid” list, and this concealer has Octadecenedioic Acid, which acts via a slightly different pathway, but I can’t verify safety. So I would pick a different concealer.
Hi Doctor 🙂

Looks ok!
Hello doctor 🙂
If all the products I listed here is in powder form it will be safe for pregnancy and nursing doesn’t matter which brand right doctor? I read your post but i just want to double make sure so my worries
It would be so much appreciated for your answer doctor!
-Eyeshadow
-Setting Powder
-Bronzer
-Blush
-Highlighter
The 3 below will be okay for pregnancy and nursing too doctor?
-Mascara
-Eyeliner
-Eyebrow products
Im sorry for the repeated email.
Any powders are fine and you don’t need to worry about. Mascara only touches your lashes, which are dead hair. Eyeliners it depends on the formula, but most are just wax pencils and also not absorbed. Eyebrow products are usually powders, wax pencils or a mascara that is on the brow itself, so also nothing to worry about 🙂
Hi doctor,
Please help me to review these products from colourpop. Are they safe for pregnancy and nursing?
Thank you so much 🙂

Thanks again! Its so great to find your site <3
This is a very long list, if you refer to the post on how to ask about pregnancy safety you will note I ask people to limit themselves to a few items, and you have 15. I’m sorry, I can’t do this list, especially since you are also asking about skincare items I have already screened, please check the list of pregnancy safe skincare products for your skincare items. As noted in the post here, you don’t need to worry about mascara, brow products. You also don’t need to worry about hair products. Please refer to this post for the reasons why you don’t need to worry about most of these products.
The products I just reviewed here:
#3- avoid due to the licorice root extract
#4- ok
#5- both products are ok
#9 has a salicylate
#14 is fine, I haven’t included that on the Laneige page as that isn’t available in the US
#15 is fine

I sprayed my perfume on my clothes (and actually I still mostly do this), but you’re right most perfumes are full of salicylates!
Thanks for your reply!
And yes, I think I’ll spray it on my clothes then, much safer than to be drowned in salicylates. 🙂
Doctor, is it safe to use nail polish while pregnancy? Such as Chanel, Dior, OPI, and Malvala nail polish.
Thank you 😊

Hi Doctor, I read that Citral “have been shown to cause birth defects, according to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.” I have several cosmetic products containing that. Is it something to be avoided?
In large amounts in rats it does, but there’s no evidence in humans, and we don’t even recommend avoiding eating lemongrass while pregnant (a big source of citral), which is a much larger exposure than makeup or skincare.

Hello,
I just heard about w3ll people make up since being pregnant and got the BIO TINT MULTI-ACTION MOISTURIZER SPF 30. In the ingredients it lists Ginseng root, I know orally ginseng is not recommended during pregnancy but wht about on your skin in make-up?
The full ingredient list is below:
Active Ingredients:
Zinc Oxide 20%
Other Ingredients:
Water, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Silica, Castor (Ricinus Communis) Oil, Glycerin, Shea Butter Ethyl Esters, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Seed Oil, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Magnesium Sulfate, Isostearic Acid, Lecithin, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Gluconolactone, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
Contains 1% or less of each of the following: Tocopheryl Acetate, Isoamyl Laurate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil*, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Sodium Benzoate, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Tribehenin, Punica Granatum (Pomegrante) Seed Oil*, Bisabolol, Isoamyl Cocoate, Glyceryl Undecylenate, Phytic Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Ceramide NG, Calendula Officinalis (Marigold) Flower Extract*, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract*, Panax Quinquefolium Root Extract*, Calcium Gluconate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextin, Algae Extract, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12
Topically Ginseng is fine, you don’t absorb enough to worry about, though it is very easy to avoid if you want. I wouldn’t use this product during pregnancy though due to the gluconolactone.
Hi, Can you please tell me if this product of biore charcoal nose pose strips are right to use during pregancy I’ll be very thankful!
Polyquaternium-37, Silica, Water, Glycerin, Polysilicone-13, Iron Oxides, Peg-12 Dimethicone, Menthol, Charcoal Powder, Styrene/Stearyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Methylparaben.
This is fine!
is it ok to have methylparaben on the ingredients?
It is. You can read more about parabens in my post on pregnancy skincare ingredients to avoid.
Hi, this is a question about an eyelash growth serum. I tried to search the website to see if you had examined it before but I did not find anything.
It is called “Babe Lash” and here are the ingredients. You put it on each night on your lash line.
Aqua / Water / Eau, Glycerin, Panthenol, Sodium Citrate,
Leuconostoc / Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Alanine, Alcohol,
Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract, Arginine, Aspartic Acid,
Biotin, Calcium Gluconate, Caprylyl Glycol, Chamomilla Recutita
(Matricaria) Flower Extract, Citrus Grandis Seed Extract,
Ethylhexylglycerin, Gluconolactone, Glycine, Glyoxal, Hexylene
Glycol, Histidine, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans,
Hydroxyethylcellulose, Isoleucine, Isopropyl Cloprostenate,
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Panax Ginseng Root Extract,
PCA, Phenylalanine, Polysorbate 20, Proline, Propylene Glycol,
Serine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Lactate, Sodium PCA,
Threonine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethanolamine, Valine, Yeast
Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium
Metabisulfite.
I don’t see a prostacylin in here (unless I missed it, but I don’t think so) which is usually the problem with eye lash serums and pregnancy. However there’s Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid I recommend avoiding.
Dear Doctor,

Hi There,
I know you mention that eyeliners are generally fine, but was wondering if that also includes liquid liners? I assumed yes, but wanted to clarify.
Also, are there certain daily chapsticks/lip balms (without a tint) you would generally recommend?
Thanks!
It does include liquids, they pretty much form a film that just sits on the surface of the skin.
I don’t have a particular lip balm that I recommend, though note there are a lot of them over in the big list of pregnancy safe beauty brands (I’m just starting to add makeup to the brand pages, but most of the lip balms are there due to skincare anyways). I should make a separate post!

Thank you so much!!!!
I think the actual sunscreen ingredients are missing from #1, they’re usually listed under active ingredients. The Titanium Dioxide could be it, but very unlikely given there is a SPF value and it’s at the very end of the list. The other listed ingredients are ok, but I wouldn’t say it is safe for pregnancy unless we know what the sunscreens are.
The blush is a powder, which sits on the surface of the skin and isn’t absorbed so you don’t need to worry about it. If you’re really nervous about the retinoid there you could use a different one, I think that Bobbi Brown makes a dupe for this one.
The Innisfree looks fine to me. I’m planning to review that brand in the next week or so. Where do you buy it from? I’ve been polling people to find out where I should link directly to!

This has a licorice root (Ammonium Glycyrrhizate) which is a licorice root, I would avoid that while pregnant but it is ok for nursing. I just finished reviewing most of YSL but didn’t find a lipstick with licorice root, which one is this?
Never mind, I totally skipped over Rouge pur Couture… not sure how! It has a salicylate too. But somehow I didn’t look at it earlier LOL
Hi Doctor, is licorice leaf a no-no like licorice root? Thank you!!

Hello Doc, I am a bit worried if this is safe for pregnancy. Please let me know, thanks!

Help! Which black liquid eyeliner would you recommend from Sephora or Ulta ?
Eyeliner is ok since they’re forming a film on the skin and not absorbing. My favorite is the Stila one, but Marc Jacobs and Kat Von D are also good!
Hello Doctor
First of all this is such a great site with useful information, thank you so much. I know you have written that makeup generally sits on top of the skin, but I was wondering what you thought about the new magnetising eyeliners? and false lash glues? I have linked 3 below that I have that I was wondering if you could look at the ingredients. I have been avoiding the duo strip lash due to formaldehyde, but would like to know your thoughts.
1. Glam magnetising eyeliner

Thank you so much for your time and opinion.
Nat
The duo and tarte glues are both ok, I’m not certain what to think of the magnetic liner truthfully! I’m sure most of it stays on the surface of the skin, but the magnetic stuff…. hmmm…. if the glue works for you I’d go with that LOL
The foundation has a chemical sunscreen to avoid during pregnancy, ok for nursing.
Thank you for that! with respect to the foundation, is it the titanium dioxide? I thought that was safe? Or is there another chemical sunscreen element that I’m not seeing in the foundation?
Titanium Dioxide is considered ok, it’s the Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Octocrylene
Thanks for that! i’ll make sure not to get another foundation with those sun screens!

These are ok

All of those are fine
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Hi! So happy I found your site – it’s proving so helpful. Planning on trying for our 2nd so I am overhauling my makeup collection to make sure it is pregnancy safe 🙂 just a couple general Qs about some ingredients that I occasionally see popping up in primers, foundations, or lipsticks:
Saccharide Isomerate
Beeswax – I remember avoiding eating honey during my first pregnancy (pasteurization concerns as I recall) and didn’t know if same rules applies to beeswax.
Soybean oil/extract – I have heard that soy is not good to ingest because it can affect hormones. What about in skincare especially during pregnancy?
Finally, what are your thoughts on nut extracts (almond, hazelnut) – do you think this could lead to allergies for a child if they are absorbing it in utero?
Thank you!!!
All of those are fine during pregnancy.
The reason to avoid honey is the pasteurization, this doesn’t apply to wax at all.
OBs don’t recommend avoiding soy particularly while pregnant and it isn’t an issue with topical applications (though remember, things in moderation…) A lot of soy can have estrogenic effects.
They’ve looked at exposures to allergens such nuts, and no real link that I remember to in utero exposure and we don’t recommend avoiding eating them while pregnant. HOWEVER there is a benefit to early exposure (as in a few months old, when they can start eating baby food), look into Bamba snacks, that’s a good way to do it, I’d ask your pediatrician around 4-6 months. Of note, allergies themselves aren’t inherited, but the propensity to develop them is.
Can you please take a look at Givenchy liquid eye concealer? Thank you!!

Hi Doctor,

These all look ok!
Thank you so much!
Hi doc.
I’m using ryx skincerity rejuvenate set
I’ve been using it for 1 week , and stopped it today cause i rushed to hospital because of spotting/bledding i’m 16w pregnant btw.
My doctor didnt know the cause of bledding!
I am really worried , i think these products that i used harm my baby.
Please check the ingredients
ethanol, aqua, propylene glycol , niacinamide , citrus medica limonum , fruit extract , solanum lycopersicum , hydrolyzed collagen , L-glutathione , hyaluronic acid , fragrance, L-ascorbic acid, retinol palmitate , tocopherol , sodium coco sulfate, cocodiethanolamide, butylene glycol, carbomer , triethanolamine , CI 15850
I would stop this product due to the retinoid. However it is NOT the cause of the bleeding, the issues with retinoids are not related to bleeding. This product did not cause the bleeding, it is NOT your fault.
Unfortunately the bleeding is something that we sometimes see in pregnancy (and yes, even in healthy pregnancies that result in full term, healthy babies). We often do not get answers for why this happens, and I am not surprised that your doctor didn’t know why the bleeding happened. I would continue to work closely with your doctor to monitor your pregnancy, but please know that this was not due to the product, it was not your fault, and nothing you did or did not do caused the bleeding or could have prevented the bleeding.
Hi Doctor,
I have a problem these days that my armpits are very sweaty I use deodorant but still, my underarms are sweaty and sometimes produce odor. Can you please suggest good antiperspirant?
and can you please check this if this is okay to use? Thank you

Thank you very much!
The first and third have Cannabis in them. Here’s my safety blurb about that:
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.
#2 and 4 are ok
Thank you very much Dr. !

YES!!! Please do. Her brand is great. I’m hoping the majority are pregnancy safe since her lead model was very pregnant throughout many of the campaigns.
Thank you for all the information. You did mention mascara is fine because eyelashes are dead. How about eyelash glue used for false eyelashes ? I’m using duo brand. Will that effect ?
Thank you
The glue goes on to your skin but Duo glue is ok.

I don’t know truthfully, they use a lot of different chemicals and it depends a lot on the salon and how they do it. In theory you don’t absorb anything through the nails, but I’m not able to see any of the products usually that they use. I would discuss with your OB

Hi Christine,
May I ask u, which makeup ingredients should we have to strongly avoid during the mid pregnancy?
Also, by wearing heavy makeup for an one or two day occasion would affect the baby in any way?
The same ingredients as I recommend avoiding during pregnancy, there’s a list and discussion in my post on ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.
Thanks Christine. How about wearing such makeup which may contain those ingredients for 1 or 2 day events.. Does it have high chances as well?
In the US we don’t recognize a gradiation on risk, there isn’t an “acceptable” level that I can tell you is fine to do. We only recognize all or none basically. I wouldn’t use any of the products with unsafe ingredients while pregnant, it’s up to you if you want to take the risk.
Hello, thank you so much for your website.
What do you think of this ingredients list, is it safe to use during pregnancy?
Isododecane, Synthetic wax, Ethylene/propylene, copolymer , Silica, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Polybutene, Hydrogenated Polydicyclopentadiene, Sucrose tetrastearate triacetate, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Oryza sativa (Rice) bran wax, Synthetic beeswax, Hydrogenated castor oil, Mica, Pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate,CI 77499 (Iron oxides), CI 77510 (Ferric ferrocyanide), CI 77000 (Aluminium powder), CI 75470 (Carmine), CI 77492 (Iron oxides).
Thank you so much .
