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 pregnancy safe skincare products from Biossance as of 8/20/2024 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!
Wow! I’m so happy to have discovered your site as I’m recently pregnant and evaluting my skincare routine. What are your thoughts on Biossance’s Squalane + Tea Tree Detox Mask?
Link to it’s Sephora page: https://www.sephora.com/product/squalane-tea-tree-detox-mask-P442550?icid2=products%20grid:p442550:product
Thanks so much!
It looks safe! If you try it please let me know if it works for acne, I have such a hard time finding pregnancy safe products that work for blemishes. The Tea Tree should help!
Thank you! The mask was working great 2x week with a few tiny blemishes I was getting, but then I discovered May Lindstrom’s Blue Cocoon and that has really cleared up my skin!
Hi there,
How about their new product Squalane + Copper peptide rapid plumping serum??
Thank you!
It’s just above in the comments.
Hi there!
I am 8 months pregnant and have looked into the face products I am using but after doing a quick google search to reassure myself all is good (paranoid mama), I noticed you indicate that the Biossence Squalane and Glycolic Facial is not safe. I had spoken with a few people prior to staying to use it and was told it was safe and also wasn’t aware the ingredients you’ve listed were not safe, I’m slightly panicking so would like more information! Thank you!
Please check out my skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy to read more about the specific ingredients that I call out as ones to avoid as well as my pregnancy beauty FAQ where I specifically address what if you’ve been using a product with “bad” ingredients.
I looked through you Biossance products but I did not see the the Biossance Tea Tree and squalene gel cleanser. Is this safe?
I don’t have access to that, please provide an ingredient list.
Here are the ingredients for Biossance Tea Tree and squalene gel cleanser:
Water (Aqua), Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium Coco-glucoside Citrate, Squalane, Cocoyl Proline, Melaleuca Alternafolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Sodium Levulinate, Hydrolyzed Pea Protein, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa) Leaf Extract, Magnesium Chloride, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Gluconate, Caramel, Citric Acid, Linalool
could you please let me know if these are safe for pregnancy, because i have been having pregnancy acne problems and been wanting to try these biossance tea tree series, thank you!
This one is ok for pregnancy and nursing
Hi, I was wondering if you could review a new product. SQUALANE + AMINO ALOE GENTLE CLEANSER
Ingredients are:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium Coco-Glucoside Citrate, Squalane, Cocoyl Proline, Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Oil, Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Oil, Hydrolyzed Pea Protein, Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa) Extract, Sodium Levulinate, Caramel, Magnesium Chloride, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Gluconate, Citric Acid, Citral, Citronellol, Linalool.
Thank you for all you do!
Safe for pregnancy and nursing 🙂
What about the use of clary oil? I noted this was an ingredient toward the bottom for the squalane + amino aloe gentle cleanser.
I would love to use this as my cleanser, but in reading up on clary it may induce labor?
Clary Sage is fine topically during pregnancy. You need to ingest extremely large amounts to have any effects (similar to rosemary) and physicians don’t advise avoiding in the diet which is a much bigger exposure than something in a skincare product. It isn’t accepted by the medical community as something you need to avoid topically.

Hi There!
I had some questions about this product Squaline + Vitamin C rose oil. I recently read that essential oils should be avoided during the 1st trimester of pregnancy. Is Rosa Damascena Flower Oil in this product considered an essential oil? I know you mention this is pregnancy safe, just trying to understand more about that ingredient and your thoughts on it.
Similar question for the SQUALANE + LACTIC ACID RESURFACING NIGHT SERUM. You mention this is pregnancy safe but I was curious about the lavender oil and if that is considered an essential oil and if I should be worried about that?
Thanks very much!

Any updates to the squalane + phyto-retinol serum while breastfeeding? Their website makes it seem that it doesn’t have the same structural resemblance to retinol or retinoids? Thank you for this amazing resource!!
I don’t have any info from anything I would consider a reputable source of information.

The website above says this is not safe for pregnancy, only safe for nursing. Is this still valid? Can I use the peptide eye gel during pregnancy?
Thanks!
I think they’ve come out and said they’re not stem cells? That’s my impression. The link above has info on my concerns re: stem cells.
I just rechecked the website and this is what is says
SWISS APPLE STEM CELL EXTRACT: PLANT-DERIVED TECHNOLOGY LOVED FOR IT’S AGE-DEFYING PROPERTIES AND IT’S ABILITY TO REDUCE THE LOOK OF FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

This part looks like stem cells, but they have changed the wording within the actual ingredients. So I don’t know.
thank you! i just noticed that you added it to the not safe list above- was that in error?
I haven’t changed anything, it was there before. The issue is whether the cell extract is stem cells or not (which is a soft call on my part, they’re likely not able to penetrate anything), the link is in the list still. But lately the Biossance stuff hasn’t really indicated they’re stem cells? It’s confusing sometimes brands label stem cells this way, but sometimes they’re not stem cells and it’s like a soup of cells and cell culture material and they do something with that.
thank you for the replies and clarification- I am sorry I didn’t see it on the no list before I asked. I may call the company to ask and if they clarify I will let you know what they say.
thank you for all your hard work!!
Hi! I just found out I’m pregnant 4.5 weeks (an exciting surprise) and definitely used the phyto-retinol serum a handful of times in last month — how stressed/worried should I be?

Is the lactic acid night serum above safe for both pregnancy and nursing? Thanks!
yes
Hi, I notice that a lot of these products use Phenoxyethanol in the ingredient list. I’ve read that this isn’t safe for pregnancy. Can you clarify please? Thanks!
It’s one of those things that we don’t have evidence for avoiding topically and I don’t know any physicians that recommend avoiding it. Some discussion here: ingredients I’m not worried about during pregnancy
Is their Squalane + BHA Pore Minimizing Toner safe?
Ingredients:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Glycerin, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Water, Squalane, Sorbitan Oleate Decylglucoside Crosspolymer, Betaine Salicylate, Microcitrus Australasica Fruit Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Water, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Water, Sodium Hyaluronate, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melissa Officinalis Leaf Oil, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Flower/Leaf Extract, Amber Powder, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Pelargonium Graveolens Oil, Citronellol.

Hi is the biossance lactic acidosis safe while Pregnant?
The one you linked (which has a different name) is ok while pregnant and nursing. I can’t find one called lactic acidosis.
I was wondering if the Biossance squalane and bamboo deodorant is safe for pregnancy and nursing. The ingredients for the product are as follows: Bamboo Extract: Helps absorbs excess moisture without clogging pores.
-Grapefruit, Geranium, and Clary Sage: Helps neuatralize odor.
-Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate: Licorice root derived ingredient helps calm skin.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Squalane, Stearyl Alcohol, C13-15 Alkane, Tapioca Starch, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract, Triethyl Citrate, Jojoba Esters, Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Glyceryl Undecylenate, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Oil, Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Oil, Bisabolol, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Limonene, Citronellol, Linalool, Geraniol, Tocopherol.
I would avoid this in pregnancy due to the licorice root. Ok for nursing.
Thanks so much for all that you do! This website has been extremely helpful
Hi Doctor,
Thank you so much for doing all this research! I’m bummed I’m only learning about this site now. I’m 5 months pregnant and trying to use the best products possible that are also safe. These lists have been very helpful so far and I love reading all your content. I’m commenting here because I am just about to order from Biossance. My question is in regard to the ingredient Phenoxyethanol. Which is in a TON of skincare and makeup formulations. These days it’s kinda hard to find products that it’s not listed as an ingredient. In doing my own research it’s usually only used at a 1% or less concentration. My concern is overexposure from repeated products. I’ve seen to avoid if pregnant, breastfeeding or using on a child under 3. I know you don’t have in your skincare ingredients list to avoid. Just was wondering your thought on this. Thank you!!
There’s no concerns really about that ingredient from any physicians I’ve spoken to, it isn’t one I’m worried about
Is the squalane and omega repair cream safe while breastfeeding? Also, is the Squalane and tea tree safe?
Everything labeled ok for pregnancy is fine for nursing. Do you have an ingredient list for the 2nd product?
Hi!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this blog informing pregnant women what they should not use. After I read it, I changed my moisturizer, eye cream, tinted moisturizer, foundation, and concealer. Biossance released a new product called “Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum” and I was wondering if it is safe to use during pregnancy. Again, Thank you so much!!!!!!
The ingredients of the new serum are:
“-Vegan Lactic Acid 10%: Gently smooths for immediate overnight results and glowing radiant skin in the morning.
-Clover: Works to reset the skin from daily stress, including pollution and blue light defense, and enhances skin’s renewal process for an improved complexion that looks fresh and well rested.
Squalane: Provides weightless hydration and locks in long-lasting moisture.
Water/Aqua/Eau, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Lactic Acid, Squalane, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Cetearyl Olivate, Propanediol, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Lespedeza Capitata Leaf/Stem Extract, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Acacia Senegal Gum, Sodium Gluconate, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Linalool.”

So happy that the biossance lactic exists as I’d been struggling to find a good acid serum. But do you recommend keeping the lactic below a certain percentage or is any fine?
Any is fine for lactic acid, it’s found already in your body (I measure levels all the time in the hospital actually)

Their website seems to indicate their Squalane + Phyto-Retinol does not contain any retinols or retinoids… but doesen’t specifically say it is safe, only to check with your doctor. What are your thoughts on this?
From their website:
“Is Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Because our Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum does not contain any retinol or retinoids, it does not have the same issues that cause women to have to stop using it. As with any skincare product, we recommend checking with your doctor before using while pregnant or breastfeeding.”
My thoughts are already noted next to the products name, it’s listed under not safe for pregnancy or nursing.
What are your thoughts on Phenoxyethanol? I’ve been using biossance for years, and all of their products contain it. I’ve recently been reading that it can be dangerous while breastfeeding.
There’s not enough actual evidence to support avoidance in pregnancy (which is much more restrictive) or nursing.
Hi! Do you know if their new product, the Squalane + 10% Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum is safe for pregnancy and/or nursing? Thank you! This post is extremely helpful.
I need a full ingredient list to review your product, more info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety
Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Squalane, Lentinus Edodes Mycelium Extract, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Citric Acid, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
This has licorice root. Ok for nursing but not pregnancy
Hi I know you had stated that the 100% squalane oil is pregnancy safe, I wanted to use it on my belly and fill body and want to make sure it won’t affect my unborn baby like some essential oils might. Also what about the SQUALANE + CALMING MUSK BODY OIL
Ingredients:
Squalane, Saccharomyces/Sucrose Ferment Extract, Farnesol
Thank you for all the work you put into this!
Yes, it’s fine

I have already reviewed all products in this brand that I have access to their ingredient list, please refer to the post about how to request a product review. I need a full ingredient list to review your product, more info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety
I love your site. Newly pregnant and driving myself insane searching! The squalane and vitamin c dark spot serum just launched for them about a month ago. The ingredients are: Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Squalane, Lentinus Edodes Mycelium Extract, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Citric Acid, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
This has licorice root, ok for nursing but not pregnancy
Here are the ingredients for the SQUALANE + VITAMIN C DARK SPOT SERUM. Is it pregnancy safe?
ALL INGREDIENTS:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Squalane, Lentinus Edodes Mycelium Extract, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Citric Acid, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
This has licorice root and is ok for nursing but not pregnancy
I see that the Squalane + Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum is on the approved list. I’m curious though. I know lactic acid and glycolic acid are both AHA’s. Why is one ok to use but not the other? Thanks again! Your site has been immensely helpful.
Because your body makes lactic acid and it’s already travelling around in you, right now. I check levels on my patients all the time. A little more info here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Hi!! Love your page. It’s been a tremendous resource for me with both my pregnancies! I’m curious about a new product released by biossance. The new Dark Spot Corrector. It does use licorice root which I have learned is not safe for pregnancy but I’m curious if this product will be safe for nursing?
Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Squalane, Lentinus Edodes Mycelium Extract, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Citric Acid, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
Yes, ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to the licorice root you spotted 🙂
Hi! Thank you for your site as I have used it for 2 pregnancies and currently nursing my 2nd. I bought this serum to help with acne pigmentation then started thinking about the skin lightening aspect. Can you please elaborate on the safety of the mushroom extract. Is it considered kojic acid? Thank you!
It isn’t considered Kojic Acid at least for pregnancy safety as long as it’s included in an extract. In large part that’s because things in an extract are typically at a much lower concentration. I think the real lightening effect with this product would be from the Vitamin C, which is fine in pregnancy and nursing.
Hi! I am curious about the Biossance Lactic Acid night serum. It’s one of my favorite products from them. Is the 10% Lactic acid too much for everyday use? I’m curious if being 10% means it needs to be used sparingly or if it even matters. Thanks so much!!
It’s doesn’t matter. There’s discussion on the % issue here: But what about this % of an ingredient?
But overall, % doesn’t matter. It’s either safe or it isn’t. Lactic acid is fine. I would say you might want to consider being careful with it, as a lot of people have more sensitive skin while pregnant, so I would just be mindful of that. If you’re used to it you’ll likely be fine.
Why is the biossance phyto-retinol not safe during nursing?
The discussion on bakuchiol is in the retinoid part of this post:
skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Many physicians recommend avoiding retinoids while nursing, and I’m currently considering bakuchiol a retinoid.
Hi, is this product the same as the one listed about that is ok for pregnancy :
https://www.sephora.com/product/biossance-squalane-zinc-sheer-mineral-sunscreen-spf-30-pa-P456410?icid2=products%20grid:p456410
Looks like it! that’s safe for pregnancy and nursing
So as of 12/2022 Biossance has claimed all of their products are pregnancy safe. Although they do advise checking in with your doctor first, it looks like the reasons you have listed here aren’t actually issues. The ingredients are actually considered safe since used in small quantities..
That’s not true actually. There are many ingredients out there that are up in the air and it depends on what physician you talk to. There’s no real evidence but there are reasons to think things aren’t safe. And when we don’t have evidence to begin with about safety for an ingredient, have reason to think it isn’t safe, why would we suddenly decide a certain “level” of an ingredient must be safe? We don’t have evidence to draw that line.
These discussions explain more:
Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
But what about this % of an ingredient?

• Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum – I’ve seen this promoted on many Youtube videos that it is pregnancy safe but on your website it says its not.. ??
Bakuchiol works just the same way as a retinoid, there’s not a real reason to think it would be safe. Discussion here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
I’d like to know why some of the products from SundayRiley you categorized unsafe are listed as safe pregnancy products on their website. They have a whole section of pregnancy safe products but you list them as unsafe. For example the lactic acid good genes serum and the 15% vitamin c plus turmeric serum.. will you clarify?
This discussion will help: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
Hello Doctor. I know that you have the Biossance
Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum listed as nursing and pregnancy safe. However, on the Sephora website they highlight the product as having AHA/Glycolic acid. These are the ingredients. May you please double check if the formula has changed? Thank you very much!!
Water/Aqua/Eau, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Lactic Acid, Squalane, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Cetearyl Olivate, Propanediol, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Lespedeza Capitata Leaf/Stem Extract, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Acacia Senegal Gum, Sodium Gluconate, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Linalool.
Don’t pay a lot of attention to the “key ingredients” that get called out, you need to look at the ingredient list. You’ll see that the AHA is lactic acid (safe, it’s already in your body. I measure levels all the time at work.) And Glycolic Acid isn’t even listed. It’s in an extract, which is fine.

Hi , is benzoic acid in probiotic moisturizer safe during pregnancy. Thanks
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 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

Hi Doctor! I saw the 100% squalane oil is pregnancy/nursing safe – but I believe this was before they listed sugarcane as the main ingredient? I just wanted to confirm it’s safety once more considering it’s photo on EWG isn’t listed with sugarcane. Thank you!
Ingredient:
Squalane Oil: Weightless, hydrating and high-performing oil, sustainably sourced from sugarcane. Replenishes lost-moisture, calms irritation, helps to maintain hydration and leave the skin exceptionally soft.

It’s from sugar cane and always has been. It isn’t any different. Sugar cane is fine, you’re eating it from many sources already.

Re: sunscreen – I don’t believe this is the one in the list as when the links are clicked it doesn’t land on a valid page. This sunscreen has been reformulated as of 4/7/24.
I reviewed and fixed the links THE DAY it was reviewed. I’m Christine. This is my website. Telling me I didn’t do it is kind of…. crazy? I did it. It’s reviewed. In the comments and also in the list.
