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. The list has gotten so large that I’ve decided to start listing brands in their own individual posts.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from Blue Lizard as of 4/13/2022. 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.

It looks ok to me!
Thank you so much for your response!
I accidentally bought the blue lizard face sunscreen that’s listed as not safe for pregnancy here and used it once before realizing it was the wrong one. Should I be concerned? I don’t plan on using it again, obviously! I’m 17 weeks.
It’s probably totally fine. I have a whole explanation of this in my pregnancy beauty FAQ
This one claims to have “no active chemicals”. Is it safe?

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to answer all these comments daily! I just wanted to check on the Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30+ That you have listed under safe as the link is broken so I can’t see what the bottle looks like, and I just want to be safe thank you!

This is still safe
Even with the castor oil, is it still ok?
Castor oil is fine topically. You have to ingest HUGE amounts while at the end of pregnancy (and thus, “primed” for it to work) for it to affect you.
Is the following sunscreen safe for pregnancy and nursing?

It looks like it’s cut off? What’s here is safe for pregnancy and nursing, and I know the companion products are safe also.
