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 Laura Mercier as of 2/19/2023. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. If they release a new product that is not listed here, please comment below and I will add it. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.
Don’t See Your Product? Read This Before You Ask About It…
Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines or are rude.

Can you please review the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose setting powder?
Please refer to the bolded paragraph about which products you need to worry about. Powders don’t need to be screened.
Hello, I was trying to find the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free without SPF on the list but I didn’t see it. I got this from sephora, it’s in a Black container and there’s no SPF in it., do you think this is safe for pregnancy? Thanks in Advance.
They don’t make it any more, so I don’t have ingredients to review.
Thank you for your immediate response Doctor:) Yeah I noticed they changed it @ Sephora and I couldn’t get a list of ingredients anymore. I’m glad I have found your website to get more guidance about pregnancy skincare. I do have another question though about a specific deodorant but the comments section under the deo’s are now closed, can I ask which is the best way to email you? I tried finding your email but I didn’t find the information. I really appreciate you Doctor:) Thank you so much!
You should ask on the brand page. I had to turn off comments on most of the round ups and people wouldn’t stop asking about unrelated products on those posts, and then they’d comment elsewhere angry with me because they couldn’t find their comment because it was on a random page…
Oh okay Doctor, I will post a question then under the brand page with all the details. Thank you so much Doctor. Highly appreciate your help for everyone:)
Why do we not have to worry about setting powder? I think I saw Talc in the LM’s setting powder I use so wanted to get your thoughts. Thanks!
Please refer to the bolded paragraph and read the linked post where you can find that information.
