Pregnancy Safe Products from Aveeno

Pregnancy Safe Products from Aveeno

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.

Here you’ll find every pregnancy safe skincare product from Aveeno as of 9/25/2022. 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.

    How about aveeno daily moisturizing lotion?

      This list currently only lists the safe products, all unsafe products were left off. Which means that product wasn’t safe. If you need further info, I need to know which daily moisturizing lotion as there are several, and I’ll need a list of ingredients.

          None of those ingredients that you mentioned are ones that you need to be avoiding. You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. Those are not considered ingredients to avoid by the medical community. My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

          Thanks for this info!! My face has been suuper red since getting pregnant and has continued postpartum, so I just bought this to help. I then freaked out after first use when I realized I didn’t check to make sure it was nursing safe (which I normally do 🤦🏼‍♀️). Thanks for easing my mama heart!

    Hello! First off, I would like to compliment your blog. I’m new to your blog but from what I’ve seen it’s been helpful and informative. My husband and I have just started our journey to having a baby so I wanted to do my research on pregnancy safe skin products. Which brings me to my questions. Forgive me if it’s a silly one. I use the Aveeno Ultra-Calming daily moisturizer SPF 15, with the difference only in the SPF. Is that safe to use? Also how come some products with sunscreens are not safe while others are? I apologize if you’ve covered this question in another article.

    Thanks.

      15mins said:

      Please refer to the discussion in my post on pregnancy skin care ingredients to avoid. Aveeno has products with chemical sunscreens mostly, rarely are they mineral. Chemical sunscreens are a problem and I don’t consider them safe in pregnancy.

    I’ve read that feverfew can be unsafe. I love the Ultra calming gel face wash but I’m scared to use it because they compared feverfew to a type of anti-inflammatory like aspirin. Or is that just for when it’s ingested?

    • 8.16.20
      Christine said:

      It’s not considered close enough to worry about. You should avoid salicylates and willow bark because they are more closely related to aspirin.

    Do i need to apply sunscreen indoor ? Or while cooking ?in some articles i have seen that says to apply sunscreen during cooking but also in some sources says not to apply as it can melt and clog pores. When sun bathing does require sunscreen ?
    It would be very helpful if you can give your opinion according to this . Again thanks for your wonderful blog. Finally i have found something that i can really rely on 🙂

      Christine said:

      Sunscreen should be part of your daily routine each day, but I would concentrate the most on times that you are outside and in direct sunlight the most. I wouldn’t worry too much about when you are inside or not in direct sunlight. Avoiding the sun in peak times (10 am to 2 pm) is best.

    I have been using the Ultra calming foam cleanser after combing through this site of safe cleansers that won’t break me out. There’s nothing worse than spending $30+ on something that causes breakouts. I was then looking at the ingredients and noticed it has “methyparaben, ethylparaben and propylparaben” (however, not necessarily in that order). Are these safe for pregnancy??

    Hello, please advise if those Aveeno products are safe for pregnancy. Thank you! I used myself Pregnancy – Safe Ingredient Checker and it only pointed out “Petrolatum”. I researched myself that Petrolatum is safe in skincare when it is fully refined. I tried to find info if Petrolatum used in Aveeno is refined, but no information in the internet about that. What`s your thoughts about it? I live in EU, so in here Petrolatum is banned in skincare unless its refined. And in my country Aveeno products are sold in Pharamacies.

      Penso che questo sia sicuro sia per la gravidanza che per l’allattamento

            Hi Dr Christine,

            I’m so sorry to message you AGAIN! But I’ve just gone and bought these products from Boots Pharmacy and the ingredients on the bottles differ slightly from what’s online. Argh! So please could you check this additional/alternative ingredient that is on the bottles but not on the website is safe please? I’m really sorry to keep on messaging you about the same ones.

            OAT MILK BLEND SHAMPOO (additional ingredient)
            Sodium Bicarbonate

            Thank you! x

    Thanks for the useful tips, I’ve been relying on this page a lot for my first pregnancy.

    I have a question, are Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES/SLS) and Sodium Benzoate safe for pregnancy?
    Because I see these ingredients a lot in most body wash and shampoo products (including Aveeno and Dove), and the opinions are varied in the internet.
    Can you advise based on your knowledge of what FDA approved?

    Will appreciate your response so much! Thank you.

      It’s thought to be fine for pregnancy and nursing from a safety perspective. Sulfates can be drying/irritating, but they work well. A lot of people avoid them based on that, but I think it’s pretty dependent on what else is in the formulation.

    Hi Dr Christine, I’m using the Fresh Greens Blend Shampoo which has peppermint oil as one of its ingredients. Read somewhere that peppermint is not advised in pregnancy. Could you please let me know if it’s still ok to use the shampoo notwithstanding the peppermint oil in the ingredients? I note that it is listed as pregnancy safe in the webpage above. Thanks a lot!

      You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. It’s not considered an ingredient to avoid topically by the medical community. My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
      My opinion is always reflected in the lists. I’ve literally spent thousands of hours on them over the years. I wouldn’t do that and purposefully not screen out an ingredient I felt should be avoided.
