In reply to Allison. 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

Hello,

I have been using the Activist SPF 30 Tinted Zinc Mineral Sunscreen Cream you recommend above as pregnancy safe. After scanning through the ingredients I am a bit nervous that it contains manuka oil. When researching it says that manuka oil can possibly cause birth defects/preeclampsia. Please advise! Thank you so much! 🙂

Hi, I’m the founder of Activist Skincare. Thank you for this article! In the three products mentioned above, salicylic acid is used at a 0.75% concentration in Calming Force Clear Skin Serum, sodium salicylate is used at a 0.5% concentration in Active Hydration Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum, and licorice root extract is used at 0.3% in Healing Water Toning Mist and 1% in Calming Force Clear Skin Serum. I hope this additional info may be helpful to someone 🙂
