Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Sulwhasoo

Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Sulwhasoo
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 Sulwhasoo as of 9/6/2024. 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 would start avoiding products while trying to conceive as you can be pregnant for several weeks without realizing it. Note this also includes things like avoiding alcohol and taking prenatal vitamins.
      This product isn’t safe for pregnancy due to the chemical sunscreens.

      Christine said:

      This is the first care activating serum mist in the US (which doesn’t have licorice root):
      Water/Aqua/Eau, Butylene Glycol, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, 1,2-Hexanediol,Betaine, Fragrance/Parfum, Sodium Chloride, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Limonene, Disodium Edta,Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Honey/Mel/Miel, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Seed Extract, Polygonatum Officinale.

      Given how very different the lists are, and that the one you have doesn’t look complete, I would look for another source for the full ingredient list.

    Hello Doctor! I know you listed the Ginseng line for toner, serum and lotion is safe for pregnancy. I know that ginseng in general is not safe for pregnant women, i was wondering if using ginseng product is really safe? It absorbs through skin but will it affect the baby?

    • 11.27.21
      Christine said:

      It’s something you need to have such large quantities of to cause any issues (which is actually physiologically impossible to do), and studies have also found smaller amounts are fine. Most physicians don’t recommend avoiding it during pregnancy for consumption, and topical use is fine.

    I am wondering why is the Sulwhasoo concentrated renewing serum is considered safe since it contains retinol in the ingredient list?

    • 5.10.24
      Christine said:

      Ack! I think it’s a reformulation, because it definitely didn’t have that before (I reviewed the brand because someone online was talking about how amazing the retinoid-free serum was!) I just fixed it. Thanks for spotting that.

    Hello! Thank you so much for this wonderful website. Much appreciated! I just had one question about the ‘Perfecting Cushion’ that is under the ‘Safe for Pregnancy’ category. I see that one of the ingredients listed is this one, ” Octinoxate 7.0%”. Is octinoxate safe during pregnancy? Thank you!

    • 7.16.24
      Christine said:

      Oh no! Thanks for finding that. They reformulated. I reviewed it in 2022 (the date is in the post) and it was NOT there then. I actually had checked the list on about 5 different sites and a friend who owned it even sent me a picture of her product. It was so unusual to find a cushion that was pregnancy safe!

      The viral TirTir red cushion one IS pregnancy safe (I finally put that list together yesterday), but the shades are pretty warm. If you check the YesStyle site they have little trial packs for about $1 that have multiple shades, so you can try before you buy.

    Hi thanks so much for all this information. One question- you list licorice root as not safe, however on another brand (mielle rosemary mint hair mask- my holy grail) you state that rosemary is totally fine because you would have to ingest A LOT to have adverse effects on pregnancy. Just curious what makes licorice root different, why are you more concerned with this natural ingredient if we’re not ingesting it? Is it more dangerous in smaller doses?

    Thanks so much for your reply.
