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 Evolve Organic Beauty as of 8/25/2021. 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’m honestly not sure why they named it retinoid as nothing is really retinoid or vitamin A derivative in this. This is Safe for pregnancy and nursing.

Dear Christine,
First, thank you so much for this site! It helped me so much during my first pregnancy, and now with my second 🙂
I see that the «MIRACLE AHA 3 minute mask» is listed as safe for pregnancy. I see now that their Miracle mask with AHA has a different name, « MIRACLE ORGANIC FACE MASK». Is it still safe, and is it not AHA?
The ingredients are:
FULL INGREDIENTS
Aqua (Water), Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Flower Water*, Pentylene Glycol (from Sugar Cane), Glycerin**, Xanthan Gum, Galactoarabinan, Sclerotium Gum, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder*, Lepidium Meyenii Root**, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil*, Carica Papaya Fruit Extract*, Parfum (Naturally derived fragrance), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Citric Acid, Phytic Acid, Lysolecithin, Pullulan, Silica, Tocopherol, Maltodextrin**, Limonene, Linalool. *Ingredients from Organic farming **Made using Organic Ingredients
Thank you very much!
Still safe! The AHAs are in the extracts, which is fine.
Thank you very much, Christine. Really appreciate it!
Hi Christine, thank you so much for your amazing work. I’m in my third trimester and concerned about which skin oils are safe, even after reading your “ingredients to avoid” post. You’ve listed Evolve Super Berry Oil as safe here (as have Evolve), but it contains Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, which I believe is fractionated coconut oil. I’ve seen a couple of studies that have linked it to problems in mice, such as this one: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5273853/. Is Caprylic oil definitely safe? I’ve been using the Evolve oil and plain fractionated coconut oil but am now worried! Should I stick with plain olive oil? Thanks so much in advance.
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. Mice data isn’t very helpful as a model in this instance and isn’t something that changes how we treat actual patients.
Having said that, coconut can be sensitizing during pregnancy, so olive oil (which is less sensitizing) might be a better idea.
