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 Babo Botanicals as of 9/26/2022. 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 have been using the Babo botanicals fragrance free daily Hyde lotion periodically through my pregnancy when my skin is extra dry. It’s what I’ve been using recently for my kids as well. I know you reviewed it as safe while pregnant but I wanted to see what your stance is on the natural extracts/essential oils in these kind of natural/clean products. A lot of what I read online says to steer clear of most essential oils and herbs because there are no test studies on pregnant women. Things like Kudzu root extract (listed ingredient) have no Data research on them. I just don’t want to trade one bad thing for possibly another. Thank you for your time!

      I think it’s fine, as do all of the OBs I’ve talked to about the extracts/oils. I wouldn’t go and take a bath in a straight extract, but that causes issues for anyone. There’s some discussion in here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

      Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to salicylate. Note the sunscreen ingredients aren’t included here, but that won’t change the safety.

    Hi, i am pregnant but having a hard time figuring out what would be safe to put on my child, meaning..
    is it safe to apply a sunscreen that you did not list on her body and then wash my hands? every brand i would normally use on my kid seems to be unsafe – but is it ok for it to get on my hands?

    • 5.31.21
      Christine said:

      Just wash your hands afterwards. Soaps are sometimes formulated to leave some “active” ingredients behind, so I would make sure the soap is safe.

    Hello, had a question on possible misrepresentation of Babo Botanicals sunscreen products, listed twice:

    Not Safe for Pregnancy, Ok for Nursing
    • Clear Zinc Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 – Fragrance Free (at The Detox Market): Salicylate

    Not Safe for Pregnancy or Nursing
    • Clear Zinc Sunscreen Stick SPF 30 – Fragrance Free: Hemp

    I don’t see hemp nor Salicylate for that sunscreen – are you sure of the exact product name and containing these harmful ingredients?

    Thanks!

    • 7.25.21
      Christine said:

      The salicylate (Butyloctyl Salicylate) is ingredient #6 in the lotion. In the Stick the Hemp is the Cannabis Sativa seed oil. I very purposefully link directly to the product I’m discussing as sometimes brands and retailers will use different names for the same product. Both of those are accurate.

    Good afternoon,

    I am sorry that I am bother you, because I saw you checked this lotion already “ Sensitive Baby Daily Hydra Baby Lotion, Fragrance Free – 8 oz.”

        Kateryna said:

        Thank you very much!
        this lotion also has a glycerin, which said unsafe during pregnancy , if it’s synthetic glycerin. And FDA says the glycerin is category C , so I am so confused this …
        How I can to know which exactly glycerin was used there , and maybe you know something about “ using glycerin during pregnancy” ?

    THANK YOU so much for doing this. My question is about ALOE VERA and perhaps other natural ingredients (essential oil/herbs) in babies lotion and body wash. I like to get BABO BOTANICALS and they have yarrow and aloe vera. I will breastfeed my newborn son and I wonder if these: ALOE and YARROW (and what other plant ingredients) are SAFE to use by breastfeeding moms and won’t affect lactation or the baby?
    Thank you again for helping mothers like me.

    Hello, and thank you very much for your website and helpful information.

    I see that you have listed “Super Shield Mineral Sunscreen Sport Stick SPF50” as not safe for pregnancy and nursing because of Hemp. I think the barnd has reformulated this product because I don’t see Hemp listted as an ingredient anymore.. The new ingredients list is this:

    Active ingredient: Zinc Oxide 19.7%
    Inactive ingredients: Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil*^, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil*^, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax^, Octyldodecyl Oleate^, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*^, Beeswax*, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter*^, Oryzanol^, Jojoba Esters^, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter*^, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract*^, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract*^, Nasturtium Officinale (Watercress) Flower/Leaf Extract*^, Spiraea Ulmaria (Meadowsweet) Flower Extract*^, Bisabolol*^, Calophyllum Inophyllum (Tamanu) Seed Oil*^, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*^, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)^.

    Hello Doctor
    Thanks for all your info that you share with us.

      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.
