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 Dr. Barbara Sturm as of 1/26/2022. 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!
Hello,
I’d love to try Dr Barbara Sturm and see that you’ve categorized most of its products as safe. However, I just read that Purslane is rich in Vitamin A. I know Vitamin A should be avoided during pregnancy. What’s your insight on this?
Please refer to my post on pregnancy ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. Purslane has the exact same discussion as Rosehip Oil. Basically I think it is fine as do OBs I have talked to, but if you feel it makes you nervous then I would avoid it.
Hi Doctor,
I really like the acne treatment line from Dr. Sturm, and I’m curious to know your thoughts on the ingredients. Keeping pregnancy acne at bay has been, at best, a stalemate…

hi! Just wondering why the super anti aging serum from Barbra strum is pregnancy safe? I assumed any anti aging wouldn’t be great so just wanted further clarification before I use it. Thank you, love your page and am so appreciate of you as a resource.
There weren’t any ingredients in it that are on my list of skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. That doesn’t necessarily mean it is truly anti-aging, just that it doesn’t have anything I was concerned about

Hi! I’m not sure if your current review of the Darker Skin Tones – Hyaluronic Serum includes the reformulated version? Listing ingredients below! Thank you!
” In this reformulated version, Lumicol adds a boost of radiance to the original formula, resulting in a smoother and more even skin tone.”

It’s fine for pregnancy and nursing, I’m pretty sure it said reformulated the last time I looked at it.
Thank you for checking!
I remember that The glow drops were listed as Not safe for pregnancy, okay for nursing a while back on your website. Any reason for the reordering?
There are sometimes reformulations. I recently started the list from scratch (that’s always the date listed in the middle of the post). I don’t even look at the old list (since it could influence me). Instead I have a brand new list open and go through all of the products all over again. While I add new products or adjust things all the time if there are reformulations that I learn about, I do try to go through the brands every 12-24 months if I can, just to make sure I’ve caught any changes. I don’t remember what what the problem ingredient before with that product, but the most recent review it was ok.
Hi Doctor,
Could you please review the Barbara Sturm Rich Cream:
Purslane Extract, Skullcap, Urea, Vitamin E, Panthenol, Avocado Oil, Shea Butter, Grape Seed Oil, Corn Oil, Olive Oil, Glycerine

Wanted to ask in addition to my previous question, do you know really good and safe vaginal washes while pregnant? Thank so so so much!!!
OB strongly recommends avoiding vaginal douches while pregnant, I believe there’s an increased incidence of premature birth due to infection. Exterior washes are ok.
Safe for pregnancy and nursing.
Check out the Osea V Cleanse, that one is also safe and cheaper.
Thank You so MUCH!!!!

Thank you a lot again!!!
These are also fine for pregnancy and nursing.
Waxing should be ok while pregnant, but I’ve heard it’s definitely more irritating then. Might need to take a break, sorry!

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Hello I believe the foaming cleanser and facial scrub are now safe. I read the active ingredients on the website and it looks like they removed the ones you have listed, is this correct? I reached out to them as well and they said both were safe to use when pregnant.
I’m in the US, which may alter things some. We likely have different ingredients than you have in Greece. In addition, you need to look at the full ingredients, not just the active ingredients on a product. In the US the brands can just call out whatever they want for that, but there are sometimes still ingredients to avoid in the full ingredients. The brand’s website does NOT feature the full ingredient list in the US.
The Cleanser is this (per Sephora), note Salicylic Acid is still present.
Water, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Glucoside, Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Sodium Lauryl Glucose Carboxylate, Panthenol, Urea, Lactobacillus/Portulaca Oleracea Ferment Extract, Citric Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Salicylic Acid, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Tocopherol, Pantolactone, Sodium Benzoate.
The Scrub is this (per Nordstrom), note the retinoid is Retinyl Palmitate, which is present.
Water (Aqua), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Octyldodecanol, Polyethylene, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Dicaprylyl Ether, Sorbitol, Glyceryl Stearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Lactobacillus/Portulaca Oleracea Ferment Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Panthenol, Glycerin, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Shell Powder, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Retinyl Palmitate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract, Lecithin, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Pantolactone, Glyceryl Oleate, Hydrolyzed Silk, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Tocopherol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben.
This discussion may be helpful for you:
Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
Note, the retinoid is the #1 ingredient to avoid in pregnancy as it has the most evidence behind it for avoidance. Stating that ingredient would be ok for pregnancy is a big concern.
Thank you for your help on this. Maybe I am missing something but it looks like you are saying that the facial scrub is out due to retinol, but it still appears on the pregnancy safe list.
This is hard because the Dr Sturm website doesn’t list full ingredients, and I also think this product was in the middle of a reformulation (this reader thought the retinoid wasn’t in it, though my last review posted above is 4 months later). When I redid this list in January I used the BlueMercury list of ingredients, and I was surprised to see NO retinoid listed, I figured the reformulation must have taken place. Looking now, I see the retinoid on both the Nordstrom and BlueMercury lists. Sigh. Unfortunately, I’m somewhat at the mercy of the online ingredient lists (this is why I always say to check your actual product ingredient list), and things sometimes go back and forth. So, I’ve moved the scrub down.
What about Sturm Good C?
I need a full ingredient list to review your product as I’ve reviewed all of the ones I have access to. More info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety. Note, I do not follow links from readers, I need the actual list.

Aqua/Water/Eau, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Sodium Chloride, Panthenol, Urea, Lactobacillus/Portulaca Oleracea Ferment Extract, Glycerin, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate

Thanks!
These are the full ingredients in the US (where I’m located and all my lists are directed for): Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Talc, Cellulose, Maltodextrin, Water (Aqua), Xanthan Gum, Ascorbic Acid, Subtilisin, Lipase.
Your list is definitely different, which isn’t surprising given your location. Yours is fine for nursing, but not pregnancy.
Hi Dr.
I know you listed the glow drops as safe. Just wondering about the tin oxide and iron oxide?
Water, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glycerin, Lactobacillus/Portulaca Oleracea Ferment Extract, Butylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Panthenol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Carbomer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Mica, Hexylene Glycol, Polygonum Bistorta Root Extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Alcohol, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Pantolactone, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Alumina, Tin Oxide, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491).
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
As always, if I was worried about an ingredient, it would be included in the list and screened out. Those are both fine.
Can you review the ingredients on the anti aging body cream? Thank you!!
-Indian Almond: Tightens skin and restores the look of elasticity.
-Shea Butter: Hydrates and nurtures skin.

I’m concerned about extracts (I read there is limited data on them) and also about biosaccharides there is no info.
This is Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Some discussion on extracts in here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Biosaccharides isn’t really specific, it’s more of a class of chemicals related to sugars. They act as binders and hold things together. Not thought to absorb, they sit on the surface of the skin.
