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 Honest as of 3/18/2023. 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.

It is on your list of safe for pregnancy products.
Unfortunately, brands vary their ingredient lists by country and even store within countries. They also update them over time. Note that this comment is from 2019, and then I fully updated the list in May 2020.
Hi so just to clarify, the Deep Hydration Eye Cream is safe for pregnancy?
My review of the eye cream in 2020 (after these comments) indicated that it was fine.
Is this foundation pregnancy safe?

The link for the “Soothing Daily Moisturizer” (listed under Pregnancy Safe) takes you to Honest Company’s Everyday Radiance Moisturizer, which contains licorice root extract.
That’s a different product, I think they redirected the link with a rename/reformulation. I’ve removed it.

You don’t need to worry about conditioner, it’s applied to your hair only, which is a dead protein and can’t absorb anything. So use whatever you want 🙂

Hi
Thank you so much for covering this topic! I unknowingly used a makeup that had some type of retinol in it and probably a lot of other bad ingredients while pregnant and my baby developed moderate eczema within 1 week after birth, which means I have been putting steroid cream on my precious nugget for more than half his life at this point.
I would urge mothers to take your advice and steer clear of anything questionable. I am now trying for baby number two and being a lot more careful what I put on my skin.
I’m fairly certain this will be a no-no, but can you please advise on Honest Company Calm & Porefect Serum.

Hi,
I know you have the Glow On Honest Mama Oil under safe for pregnancy. My question is: the last ingredient being chamomile extract (marticaria)…there are sites that say excessive amounts of it causes uterine contractions. So…is it still considered pregnancy safe?
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil*, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract*, Tocopherol
* Certified Organic Ingredient
You need such a high amount that it’s basically impossible to do that topically. So ok.
Great to hear. Thank you so much for the quick response! 🙂

Thank you so much for your helpful website! I was wondering if you could tell me if the Honest Company Conditioning Detangler is pregnancy safe?
Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Behentrimonium Chloride, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Extract, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Peel Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil, Orbignya Speciosa Kernel Oil, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Protein, Panthenol, Caprylyl Glycol, Triethyl Citrate, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Citric Acid, Tocopherol
This is fine, but you don’t need to worry about conditioner as it shouldn’t be on your scalp, only the hair shaft. Your hair is made of dead proteins and can’t absorb anything. So, no need to worry about hair products that aren’t applied to your scalp.
I think most of us probably spray this on our roots as well and since it’s a detangler we do t wash it out. Still safe to use?
Yes, it’s fine to use for pregnancy and nursing.
Thank you for the help!!

Hi! LOVE this site!
I have a question about Phenoxyethanol and about Fragrance (Parfum) being listed in products that are considered safe. Some sites suggest that these are harmful for pregnant women, but then I also see them listed in products on sites that say that product is safe. Are these two ingredients anything to worry about during pregnancy? Thanks so much!
They’re not really anything to worry about. Per my discussions with OBs and derms, the main thing is actually that pregnancy is a “sensitizing” time, when you can start reacting to ingredients you haven’t previously, and those sensitivities might last longer than pregnancy. Fragrance is one of the most common ingredients to do this.
What is wrong with Malic Acid?
It’s an AHA. Info here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Hi, thank you so much for this fantastic site! It’s been very helpful during my pregnancy while trying to determine what products to use and not to use.
One thing I’m just noticing though is that I switched to the Honest Gentle Gel Cleanser toward the beginning of my pregnancy due to their website saying it was pregnancy safe but I see you have it on your “Not Safe for Pregnancy, Ok for Nursing” list because of Gluconolactone. Are you able to share a little more insight on this. I’m feeling really nervous now that I’ve been using this for about 5 of my 6 months being pregnant thinking it was safe but maybe it actually isn’t.
There’s discussion on this here: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe?
what about the “Calm” skincare from honest ?
Here are the cleanser ingredients :
Water (Aqua/Eau), Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Isoamyl Laurate, Propanediol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sodium Chloride, Phytosterols, Phospholipids, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Sodium PCA, Arginine, Glutamic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Hydroxyacetophenone, Linoleic Acid, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Citric Acid.

All of these look ok for pregnancy and nursing
Hi!!
I have a question about the vitamin C radiance serum. I see that it is listed on the safe for pregnancy and nursing list, but I have a question about the diglucosyl Gallic acid – is that one of the AHAs? I feel like I read somewhere to avoid it.
Here is the current list of ingredients from their site:
Artichoke Extract: known to minimize the appearance of pores
Hyaluronic Acid: known to bind water & draw moisture into skin
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate: form of Vitamin C
Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Propanediol, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Cynara Scolymus (Artichoke) Leaf Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Diglucosyl Gallic Acid, Citric Acid, Lysolecithin, Sclerotium Gum, Xanthan Gum, Pullulan, Silica, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, Erythritol, Carrageenan, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Isopentyldiol, Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract, Cananga Odorata Flower Water, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tin Oxide, Benzoic Acid, Sorbic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Mica (CI 77019).
It isn’t an AHA and it’s fine for pregnancy.
I did send them an email and asked if to tell lip balm has licorice root, because I don’t see them in the ingredient list. So they did confirm tinted lip balm does not have licorice root.
These are the ingredients of one of the shades, they’re all basically the same:
White Nectarine and Summer Melon: Euterpe Oleracea Sterols, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Punica Granatum Sterols, C10-18 Triglycerides, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Vegetable Oil, Behenyl Behenate, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Linoleic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linolenic Acid, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Tocopherol, Citric Acid, Silica, Tin Oxide, Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891). May Contain: Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850).
The Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a licorice root ingredient. This does in fact have licorice root. It just doesn’t say “licorice root” in parenthesis, so the person you communicated with may have been confused. But that’s licorice root.
I love your site, thank you for all of this information! I’m curious about the Honest Company’s new CALM & POREFECT SERUM. Ingredients are:
Water (Aqua/Eau), Propanediol, Niacinamide, Polyglyceryl-3 Laurate, Phytosterols, Phospholipids, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Saccharide Isomerate, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Nitrate, Monosodium Phosphate, Disodium Phosphate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Linoleic Acid, Hydroxyacetophenone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol.

Hi, my sister-in-law got me an Honest Beauty mama-to-be package for Mother’s Day that included the bump butter, body lotion and makeup remover wipes. I used the makeup remover wipes last night without checking here first and I see they are not good for pregnancy, and neither is the bump butter or body lotion! My question is, is it ok that I used the wipes once? I followed quickly with my actual facial cleanser so hopefully no damage was done 😔 thank you so much!
Probably fine! Discussion here: You’ve been using a product with a “bad” ingredient

Hello, I have questions about
Honest company Gentle Gel Cleanser: Gluconolactone that you reviewed above.
is Gluconolacctone same as Glycolic Acid? Or Gluconic Acid?
Is it safe to use hair conditioner with gluconic acid during pregnancy?
Thank you!
Gluconolactone (poly-hydroxy acid), Glycolic Acid (alpha hydroxy acid) and Gluconic Acid (carboxylic acid related to glucose) are all different things. Gluconic acid is fine to use during pregnancy. Also keep in mind if it isn’t going near your skin you don’t really need to worry about it, which is likely the case with conditioner. Info here: Hair products to worry about

Is it possible the Elevated Hydration Mist has been reformulated since you wrote this post?
This is the ingredients list I see online:
Water (Aqua/Eau), Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Propanediol, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Hydroxyacetophenone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Glycerin, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Extract, Apium Graveolens (Celery) Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Citric Acid, Lavandula Hybrida Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Abies Sibirica Oil, Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Oil, Cymbopogon Martini Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil, Citronellol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool
Are any of these ingredients another name for licorice root?
https://www.honest.com/beauty-products/skincare/elevated-hydration-mist/B0000HRMV4FLS.html
I bought this mist because I saw it was EWG approved but now I’m wondering if I should be using it or not…
Thanks in advance!
It’s possible, brands randomly due that. I don’t see the licorice root here either, it often starts like glycc… and then more chemical name.
I do NOT recommend utilizing the EWG. They ignore many pregnancy safety recommendations and their conclusions about many scientific studies are often overstated or sometimes even in direct opposition to the scientists who performed the actual studies. They’re not well regarded by most of the medical and scientific communities, they are a lobbyist group.
Got it, thanks for your reply.
Given this new ingredients list for the hydration mist, do you think it’s safe for pregnancy and nursing? Wondering because it’s otherwise listed as unsafe in your post (bc of the licorice root).
Yes it’s ok for pregnancy and nursing

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the Gentle Gel Cleanser appears to have gluconolactone in it, at least according to the ingredients list on Honest Beauty’s website. I see you usually have gluconolactone-containing products listed in nursing-safe but this one is listed in your pregnancy-safe list. So I’m not sure if they added it to their ingredients recently, but thought I’d mention it!
Thanks for catching that! I just fixed it

Hi! I am so grateful for your site, and wanted to ask if you have ever thought about switching to Amazon Associates or Target Affiliates instead of RStyle? I just purchased several items from your Honest list and went over to Amazon because of Prime’s free shipping/returns. I was thinking to myself, I wish she got commission for these! I think you could generate a lot of income by switching. Especially because you will get commission for everything the person buys within 24 hours. So if I click on your link to see a safe beauty product, but end up buying a phone case or diapers you would get commission for those items as well. Anyways, just a thought…thanks again and wishing you continued success! 🙂
I have the amazon program but that actually does not track well, they lose a lot of people who click and buy. I get a slightly lower commission by linking to Amazon via RS, but they keep track of it much better and it makes my life a LOT easier to only have 1 program to keep track of. 🙂
Hi, could you please let me know if these are safe?

Hi! I see the Honest “Mama’s Gotta Glow Face and Body Wash” is on the list of not safe while pregnant, but I’ve been using it my whole pregnancy (now 23 weeks). How bad is that?? I thought it was safe because it seemed “clean”!
Clean isn’t a thing really. It’s a marketing term. And it means nothing for pregnancy/nursing safety.

Hi! I’m 19 weeks pregnant and a little worried because I just read that here that the Mama’s Gotta Glow Face & Body Wash and the Bump Body Butter are not safe for pregnancy. I’ve been using the face and body wash every day since I learned I was pregnant and just started using the bump butter. Is this something I should be terribly worried about affecting my baby? I obviously am switching products today.
Thanks,
Molly

This is an eyeliner, which you don’t need to worry about and therefore I do not review. Please refer to this post: Pregnancy Safe Makeup Post.
You said I don’t need to worry about this product type, why won’t you review it anyways?

Have been periodically using the tinted lip balm – didn’t know about the other names for licorice root until finding your site. I’m 8 weeks – what risks have I exposed myself to?
This discussion will help: You’ve been using a product with a “bad” ingredient

It is on your list for pregnancy and nursing safe. However it contains gluconolactone. Can you provide clarification? Thank you!
Ok for nursing but not pregnancy. Either I missed it (remember that I’m a human not a robot, don’t go off on me) or possibly it was reformulated since my last review. Honest does reformulate, unfortunately.
Thank you for the clarification. My skin has changed so much with this pregnancy so trying to find something to try.

Hi,
I see that you said the CCC CLEAN CORRECTIVE WITH VITAMIN C TINTED MOISTURIZER BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 30 is safe. I’m seeing some websites says that Cetyl Dimethicone is unsafe which it contains. Do you have any thoughts on this?
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. Note, silicones like that ingredient pretty much just sit on the surface of the skin and aren’t absorbed.
