Pregnancy Safe Skincare and Makeup Products

 

Pregnancy Safe Skin Care Products

If you are pregnant or trying to conceive, have you thought about your beauty products? Not all skincare and makeup is safe to use for pregnancy. And truly, who wants to spend hours researching which ingredients you should avoid in your skincare if you are pregnant? Is it safe to use your favorite retinol serum or what about benzoyl peroxide to treat your hormone related blemishes?

When I was pregnant with my first child, I had a major anxiety moment over my beauty products. I was a doctor and reading all of the ingredient lists and learning which ones I needed to avoid was very intimidating! I wrote a few posts about the process, readers started asking questions, and over the years pregnancy safe beauty products grew into more and more posts on 15 Minute Beauty. I’ve tried to take the entire process and make it much easier for my readers.

I recommend starting with my Pregnancy Skincare eBook. Yes, you need to subscribe to my newsletter to get it, but it is otherwise free! I promise, I don’t email often, and when I do it is with helpful pregnancy beauty updates. The eBook describes my approach to pregnancy skincare, why I think you need a “core” of products that you use throughout your pregnancy.

Don’t See Your Brand? Read This Before You Ask About It…

Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety.  If your brand is here on the list, I will not answer you on this post. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists.  I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines, are in the wrong spot or are rude.  You must ask about your products on brand specific pages, include the product name and full ingredient list (no, I won’t follow your link). If there is no brand page,  you can ask on this page.

About Me

I’m a doctor, a mommy and a bit of a beauty addict. If you let me, I can take 2 hours to get ready in the morning. Really. I'm on a quest for faster beauty that works!

Yes, I still answer questions about product safety! You must follow these guidelines. Any rude comments or those not following the guidelines will be removed. This means full product name, ingredient list, and each product must either be on the proper brand page or the brand list page. I won't accept comments in the wrong spot.

You can check the pregnancy beauty FAQ for many answers. Also check out which makeup and hair products I think you should worry about. Additional info about: perfume, nail polish and sunless tanners

Note, your comment will enter moderation, and will be published after a response has been written. Please allow 24-48 hours for this to occur. Remember, I am an actual person and not a bot. I need to sleep!

        Hello, first of all thank you very much for your website. I am now currently pregnant and quite confused when it comes to skin care. Exfoliating… even pha acids are not safe? Is there any safe form of peeling? I’m now left with a cleanser and mosturizing cream for which I am not sure as well. Could you please review these ingredients, this is atopalm mle creams: WATER/AQUA, GLYCERIN, PROPANEDIOL, MYRISTOYL/PALMITOYL OXOSTEARAMIDE/ARACHAMIDE MEA, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, CETEARYL ETHYLHEXANOATE, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, POLYGLYCERYL-10 DISTEARATE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL, OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL, HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL, CAMELLIA SINENSIS SEED OIL, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL, VITIS VINIFERA (GRAPE) SEED OIL, CARTHAMUS TINCTORIUS (SAFFLOWER) SEED OIL, SUNFLOWER OIL DECYL ESTERS, PORTULACA OLERACEA EXTRACT, VISCUM ALBUM (MISTLETOE) FRUIT EXTRACT, SORBITAN STEARATE, BETA-GLUCAN, TOCOPHEROL, PHYTOSTEROLS, CARBOMER, ALLANTOIN, STEARIC ACID, ARGININE, SODIUM PHYTATE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, ANTHEMIS NOBILIS FLOWER OIL, SALVIA OFFICINALIS (SAGE) OIL, SANTALUM ALBUM (SANDALWOOD) OIL, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL

          Christine said:

          There’s basically no form of peeling, PHA isn’t safe either as it penetrates more deeply. I recommend either just straight lactic acid (safe because it’s already found in your body) or or trying something physical. Clarisonic brushes used to be good for that, but they just went out of business.

          This product is ok for pregnancy and nursing.

        Hi Doctor Christine,

        Thank you so much for reviewing so many products. I now know where to look before purchasing a beauty product brand. It seems to me that most brands inevitably are adding preservatives in their products. What is your thought on making a DIY skincare oil? I researched online that both rosehip oil and marula oil can offer anti-ageing effect. https://sowourplanet.com/marula-oil-vs-rosehip-oil/

        Which carrier oil would you recommend me adding to these 2 oils for DIY purpose? I am looking for an oil solution that is anti-ageing, yet not over clogging my pores.

        Thank you for your tips in advance.

          I’m willing to review carrier oils for you if you send in ingredient lists, but I do not have time to go out and learn about carrier oils for you and then tell you which one to use. I’m sorry, but I have a family, I work “full time” as a physician (which is more than full time by the way) and I am virtual schooling my girls. I do not have time to review them for you.

      I’m considering Bakuchiol a retinoid at this time due to not much info, but note I’m very conservative in this regard. There’s some discussion in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

    Hi 🙂

    I was wondering if you could check the ingredients of this FaceTheory serum?

    Aqua, propanediol (emollient derived from corn), niacinamide (vitamin B3), sodium lactate (natural moisturising factor), salicylic acid (BHA), sodium levulinate (preservative from sugar cane), sodium anisate (preservative from star anise), azelaic acid (dicarboxylic acid derived from wheat), aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice, sodium hyaluronate (salt of vegan hyaluronic acid).

    Also, I’ve read that phenoxyethanol isn’t ok, I have a hyaluronic acid serum with 1.hyaluronic acid and 2. Phenoxyethanol as the only ingredients

    Many thanks in advance I appreciate your time

    Hi again Dr. C!

    I know you mentioned in the hair page that all hair products are okay but thought i’d ask about hair color! It is a confusing topic, and even if my ob-gyn allows for hair color after 12 weeks, i am concerned about general product ingredients particularly since hair color has to sit on my hair for 30mins to 1 hour (if Henna) and it will inevitably touch my scalp.

    Assume these will sit on scalp for an hour (so treat it like skincare), any thoughts on safety of the following, please?

    1. Naturtint Permanent Hair Color (~35 mins application)
    Peg-2 Oleamine. Water (Aqua). Peg-4 Rapeseedamide. Alcohol Denat (Alcohol). Propylene Glycol. Ethanolamine. Oleic Acid. Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein. Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil.

      #6 I’m not certain if the cell extracts are stem cell ingredients. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

      Christine said:

      If you comment on a brand’s page about another brand then you’ll probably get deleted. I want each brand page to be only about that brand, and it’s stated as such on each page. The comments on this page move quickly, so you likely didn’t go back enough. Sometimes things get caught by the spam filter too, but as that can have thousands of spam comments a day and I don’t go through them.

      I have comments from you here, here, here and here.

      Both of these possibly have stem cells, with all of the culture extracts. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

    Hi there-
    I know you’ve said not to worry about too many hair products, but wanted to check in as there’s a curl creme I use all over my hair daily and I just noticed it has Benzyl Salicylate in it. I’ve used this every day for a long time, but am super early in pregnancy (like 5 weeks). Do you think I should stop using it?

    Full ingredients:
    Water (Aqua/Eau), Polyquaternium-37, Cyclopentasiloxane, VP/DMAPA Acrylates Copolymer, Polyquaternium-11, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Fragrance (Parfum), Phenoxyethanol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate-60, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, PPG-1 Trideceth-6, Disodium EDTA, Alcohol Denat., VP/Dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate Copolymer, Panthenol, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract, Chitosan, Bacopa Monniera Extract, Glycerin, PEG-4 Dilaurate, PEG-4 Laurate, Sorbitan Oleate, Benzalkonium Chloride, PEG-4, Citric Acid, Tocopherol, Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool.

      It depends on whether you’re applying at your scalp, most people don’t apply curl cream to the scalp. Discussion here: Hair products to worry about

      • 2.26.21
        Annie Shapiro said:

        I definitely apply thru the layers of my (very thick) hair, so it doesn’t just sit on the top layer, and on the frizzy whisps right at my hairline. But I wouldn’t say there’s a build up of it on my scalp. Do you think there’s still some risk there?

        Did some research and this looks like this could be a substitute that doesn’t have any of the bad ingredients in it:
        Water (Aqua, Eau), Cetearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Cetrimonium Chloride, Behentrimonium Chloride, PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate, Ethyl Macadamiate, Laureth-4, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Protein, Panthenol, Melissa Officinalis Extract, Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract, Achillea Millefolium, Lauryldimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Lauryldimonium Hydroxypropyl Wheat Starch, Propylene Glycol, Ceteareth-20, Disodium EDTA, Aminomethyl Propanol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Fragrance (Parfum).

          It has nothing to do with layers, it just has to do with how close to the root you apply. Your hair is dead proteins that can’t absorb anything.

    Aqua (Water), Propanediol, Pentylene Glycol, Maltooligosyl Glucoside, Glycerin, Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, Angelica Archangelica Root Water, Propylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Benzoate, Parfum (Fragrance), Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Benzoic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Carbomer, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Sodium Citrate, Sophora Japonica Flower Extract, Limonene, Linalool, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Citronellol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Biotin.

    CINQ MONDES 3-MINUTE PHYTO-PEELING GEL MASK
    Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Glycolic Acid, Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black TEA Ferment, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Hydroxide, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract*, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Water, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Vaccinium Myrtillus Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Parfum (Fragrance), T-Butyl Alcohol, Vanillyl Butyl Ether, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, Chlorphenesin, Potassium Sorbate, Limonene. * Ingrédients issus de l´Agriculture Biologique / Ingredients from organic farming

    I know the second one has glycolic acid but I was told it was from natural fruits. Not sure that makes a difference so wanted to check.

    Thank you so much!

      #1 is ok for both pregnancy and nursing
      #2 I would avoid in pregnancy but ok for nursing. The glycolic acid is listed separately as a chemical ingredient, so needs to be avoided.

      So sorry to ask for more advice but I was wondering about Estée Lauder stay in place foundation – on your list it says it is safe but your list doesn’t mention that it has spf 10 which it does in the UK. These are the listed ingredients in the UK. Can I ask if these ingredients are ok- that is not a chemical suncreen? Many thanks – really appreciate all your help
      Ingredients: Water\Aqua\Eau, Cyclopentasiloxane, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Butylene Glycol, Peg/Ppg-18/18 Dimethicone, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Magnesium Sulfate, Tribehenin, Titanium Dioxide, Tocopheryl Acetate, Methicone, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Laureth-7, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Cellulose Gum, Propylene Carbonate, Xanthan Gum, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Alumina, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, [+/- Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Mica, Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, Ci 77492, Ci 77499)]

        This list only has titanium dioxide which is a sunscreen, hopefully that’s the only one! If you don’t see any other ingredients listed under “active” ingredients then this looks safe for pregnancy and nursing

          LJ said:

          Oh great thanks so much Christine – your help, expertise and advice is very much appreciated! The only extra thing I can see ingredients -wise is the code <> at the very end of the list. Does that mean anything? If not, it is just as listed above which hopefully means I can use it then 😊

            I think that’s a proprietary code for EL, likely how they track the exact formulation or something. Google only brings me back to that product.

        Thank you so much ! So sad I can’t use this facial set lol 🙂 I was wondering, don’t know if you have covered this elsewhere sorry I couldn’t find it, but my friend wants to start trying for a baby (has not yet) would it be okay if she uses this facial set that has malic acid and licorice root before conceiving or are there certain periods of time before conceiving that she needs to stay clear of these things?
        Thank you so much

    Also, I’ve been trying to avoid Phthalates but see that they are often hidden as “Fragrance/Parfum”. Is that something I need to worry about?

    Thank you SO much

      Christine said:

      Phthalates don’t currently have enough evidence for us to recommend avoidance. However if it makes you feel more comfortable to do so, then I would. There’s a huge number of rules about when they can say “fragrance” vs listing something. It’s such a small amount in order to be listed that way that I wouldn’t worry about it.

      Please review this information on hair products, most of these are not meant to be applied to the scalp, such as hair spray and styling gel, and I do not review them (I get asked about hundreds of products sometimes in a single day. I simply do not have time.)
      Hair products to worry about

      I have reviewed the products that you’re likely to be using in a manner that you do need to screen them:
      Ok for pregnancy and nursing:
      1, 3
      Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
      4: stem cells

        Thank you! Few follow up questions:

        2- Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Original Formula- although I don’t apply it to the scalp, there is ETHYLHEXYLMETHOXYCINNAMATE in it. Would it get absorbed in hands when I apply? Or would you recommend me use gloves? Or doesn’t matter?

        4- Honeybee Gardens Herbal Mint Alcohol Free Hair Spray – could you let me know which of this ingredient is stem cell, please?

        5-Andalou Naturals, Lavender Biotin Full Volume spray – is meant to be applied to scalp for volume boost. Is this safe?

        6- Andalou Naturals Healthy Shine Styling Gel – I apply it to the root/scalp area. Is this safe?

        Thanks again!

          4- Sorry, I think I was distracted by my daughter and fat fingered that. It’s actually #5 that has stem cells, I didn’t screen the hair spray. And the ingredient actually says Stem Cells, so it is obvious.
          6 also has stem cells.

      I’m not certain if the Syringa Vulgaris Leaf Cell Culture Extract is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

    full ingredient list:
    Azelaic acid 20%
    Benzoic acid .02% (use as a preservative)
    will it be okay to use it during pregnancy?
    I will highly appreciate your valuable advice.

      #2 I’m not certain if the Iris Pallida Leaf Cell Extract is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

      #1 Safe for pregnancy and nursing
      #2 Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to chemical sunscreens.

      Note, #3 is a powder but I went ahead and screened it. In general powders can’t be absorbed. But sunscreen powders I don’t recommend as in order to test at the proper ingredient concentration, they put about 17g of product on a face. That’s over half of the container usually. Which you could never even approach using. It’s really very false assurance that you’re getting the advertised amount of sunscreen, in general you’re using about 5-10% of that at most.

    Hi! Thank you so much for all the hard work you’ve done for all of us. I’m a bit confused about what counts as a Hydroxy, Beta or Poly acid as many ingredients tend to use these root words listed in them.

    I have two requests!
    1.) Would you mind doing a brand review of Hempz products? Most of their products have nothing to do with CBD but rather are all based around hemp seed oil. I have so many of their lotions and want to make sure they are safe to use.

    2.) Would you mind reviewing this product?

    Active Ingredients:Mandelic Acid: A naturally derived extract of bitter almonds. Particularly effective in targeting acne, age spots, discoloration, and wrinkles while minimizing irritation. A natural skin lightener.

    Lactic Acid: Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from fermented milk. Gentler than other AHAs. Exfoliates dead skin, encourages cell renewal, aids in regulating pH and acts as moisture binder.

    Urea: An organic compound and product of protein metabolism. Promotes rehydration in skin.

    Sodium PCA: Skin’s natural moisturizing factor, Sodium PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid) aids moisture retention and skin repair. Repels daily aggressors like pollution, smoke and UV rays.

    Niacinamide: A water-soluble form of Vitamin B with firming effect and anti-inflammatory properties.

    Inositol: Part of the Vitamin B family. Provides maintenance to the cell membrane.

    Inactive Ingredients:Alcohol Denat., Water, Propylene Glycol, Mandelic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Sodium PCA, Glycine, Fructose, Urea, Niacinamide, Inositol, Sodium Benzoate, Lactic Acid.

    Hi Dr.! I wanted to know if you have an opinion about Arnica. As I’ve been digging around in many ingredients lists I’ve found Arnica extract hidden in a LOT of my products. From my own google research I’d read that it traditionally was used as an abortion inducer and WebMD and other sources recommend not to use it if pregnant and not to use it on children.

    Any thoughts on this? Thank you for your time!

      Christine said:

      I’ve talked to a lot of OBs about this and there’s no evidence of issues for topical use, and the quantities needed to induce abortion was very high. I don’t currently screen it out due to the discussions I’ve had, and I don’t know any physicians that currently recommend avoidance during pregnancy (and as a pediatrician we don’t mention avoiding use in kids, that’s not something I was taught and I don’t know anyone that counsels patients on that). This kind of thing is out there for many ingredients, you can kind of drive yourself crazy with it.

          Where did you get these ingredients from? Their website says AU, and the ingredients on my bottles from my salon in the US don’t match up. So I haven’t found a great source for reviewing 🙁 It’s the only reason they’re not on the list yet.

          Ok for pregnancy and nursing:
          Hydrate-Me.Rinse
          #3 (no name, after the product above, appears to be something different)

          Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
          Hydrate-Me.Masque: chemical sunscreen

          Avoid in both pregnancy and nursing:
          #4- retinoid

            I got the ingredient list from their website, the AU one, yes. Definitely a bit confusing that there is a USA and a EU listing, so I will just stick with the safe products from Kerastase 😀 thank you for that one as well !
