    Hi Doctor,

    I’ve read your blog on ingredients to avoid and you did mentioned that a little citric acid in the very last of the list of ingredients is fine but I have been using Avene Foaming Cleanser and the ingredients are as follow:

    Aqua. Sodium Cocoamphoacetate. Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate. Sodium Chloride. Citric Acid. Disodium Edta. Parfum. Glutamic Acid. Lactic Acid. Propylene Glycol. Sodium Benzoate.

    Seems like “Citric acid” is at the very beginning on the list, should I be worried???

    Is there a face wash you can recommend me without citric acid in it?

    Thanks

      This should still be ok. It’s at the spot with the Disodium EDTA and such… still a small amount if you’re worried. But even at the beginning of the list you’ll still be getting a lot more with a glass of OJ. I wouldn’t worry about it.

    Hi Doctor,

    Thank you so much for taking time and effort to do this list! It really helps us (who doesn’t have medical background/ knowledge) a lot! May I request for you to do a list of usable products from the brands eg. The Body Shop, Vichy, La Roche Posay, Eucerin? Really appreciate it!!

    Thank you very much!

    Wow, just wow! This list should be included in the baby care kit sent home with all moms.

    No requests here. I just want to thank you for making this list. I’m currently breastfeeding and was struggling to find out what products I could use. In between caring for my baby and a toddler, reading sleep training articles over and over again, etc. I felt so overwhelemed with which products to use, that I kind of resorted to using cold pressed olive oil. This list helps so much.

    Thank you for taking the time to do this.

      No, not all acids are alpha or beta hydroxy acids. Ascorbic Acid is vitamin c and fine, Citric Acid is an alpha hydroxy and is one of the exceptions to that rule. You’ll get a LOT more drinking just 1 glass of orange juice than you would in a year of using a product. There’s discussion in my skin care ingredients during pregnancy post.

      All of these are fine. Safety doesn’t change during pregnancy at all, what is safe in 1st trimester is safe throughout. There’s a transition when the baby is born, no need to be quite so restrictive then. Anything ok while pregnant is also ok while nursing.

          No need to have an advance timeline for this. Just stop when you start trying. I do recommend checking in with your OB to make sure they don’t recommend anything else. In particular it is important to make sure you are taking enough Folic Acid before trying to conceive to decrease the chances of a neural tube defect.

            Hi Christine, i ran across this comment. I bought that mask too and I remember when I checked the package it doesn’t say glycolic acid in the ingredients. Just checked their official website and noticed the ingredients are as follows. I assume these are most up to date. However in the description they also state that there is natural glycolic acid from pineapple. I’m bit confused. Maybe one of the ingredients is a glycolic acid derivatives?

            Ok, this explains some of it! The full ingredient list is gone from the sephora site now, but based upon this list I approved it. They must have the glycolic in the name based on it being in the pineapple (which we ignore by the way, the concentration is low and varies based upon lots of pineapple growing and harvesting factors). So, it’s fine. Again. Whew! Thanks Frejann!!

    Hi Doctor,

    On your list it’s showing that CAUDALIE
    Resveratrol Lift Firming Serum is safe to use for pregnant women however I read some articles online they said to avoid Resveratrol when you are pregnant. I would like to know if its 100% safe to use this serum during my pregnancy? I have been using it and just found out I’m pregnant so I’m freaking out whether I should continue to use it.

      You’re not crazy, the entire Origins list was done. Then I discovered that my carefully curated list (done with referencing both the Origins site and Sephora) was inaccurate because the acne products say Salicylic Acid on the front of some of them (I fully admit I wasn’t looking at the packaging, just going to the ingredients lists, assuming both of those would be accurate). I think the issue was isolated to the acne products, neither place listed the “active ingredients” of Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide. But I think the other products were fine.

      The La Roche has chemical sunscreens and isn’t safe. All of the Drunk Elephant products have already been screened and safe ones are in the post. This one is left off on purpose.

         Good to know there are more things we can use while nursing! I can’t wait to get back to my normal routine. What about retinol and alpha arbutin?

           There’s a post that directly addresses ingredients during nursing. There’s discussion there about whether retinol is ok or not, I would consider arbutin to be the same as hydroquinone and not safe. So I would avoid Obaji Clear until after weaning. You also don’t need to worry about hair products at all. The Olaplex is applied only to the hair and not absorbed at all.

       I have comment moderation turned on. Without it I have thousands of spam comments come across every day, and I can’t sort out everything to find the actual comments! So I did see the previous comment, but I’m answering this one since you have another product here 🙂

       The Elf Vitamin C is ok, but the Ponds has a chemical sunscreen (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate) and the Elf Cream has Licorice Root, so I wouldn’t use those.

       Good luck with match!

     https://www.skincarisma.com/products/bioscreen/protective-moisturizing-gel/ingredient_list#info-section

     I know I have updated 3 products instead of 2 but these are part of my daily routine. Your guidance on this would be highly appreciated.

     Assalamualaikum Doctor,
     I need to know if the products mentioned below are safe or not. No ingredient list found on the Sephora website. Whatever I have found regarding ingredients I have given with product name.

     1. SEPHORA COLLECTION
     Micellar Cleansing Gel

     A micellar gel enriched with pomegranate extract.

     2. SEPHORA COLLECTION
     Micellar Cleansing Milk

     A micellar milk with a fresh, milky texture enriched with natural-origin rose extract

     3. SEPHORA COLLECTION
     Micellar Cleansing Water

     A micellar milk with a fresh and lightweight texture enriched with natural-origin green tea extract

     I used these products and my skin didn’t feel any irritation or discomfort so I really wanted to continue using. But there’s nothing written on the ingredient list.

     Assalamualaikum Doctor,

     I’m extremely sorry for asking you about the product without proper ingredient list. I took the pictures but not being able to attach it here and couldn’t find your mail Id in this blog to emil them.
     As there is no Sephora in Bangladesh I buy my skincare products from Sephora Malaysia or from Sephora Canada.
     The products listed on my last comment are from Sephora Malaysia. Don’t know this information could be a little helpful or not.
     Thanks a lot for helping me so much. In Bangladesh we don’t have such Doctors who can suggest about pregnancy and skincare.

     It will be really helpful if you can provide a list of pregnancy safe fragrances or perfumes or at least suggest something.

     You are doing a great job.. may Allah bless you with a blissful life. 🤗

       Both 1 (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate) and 2 (Ethylbisiminomethylguaiacol Manganese Chloride) have chemical sunscreens so I would avoid them. I can’t comment on the foundation without an ingredient list.

     Hi Doc,

     I see that Neutrogena Liquid Facial Cleanser is listed as safe product but not Neutrogena liquid pure mild facial cleanser, ain’t sure whether it was left out due to the chemical contents but do appreciate your advice if the following ingredients are safe before I purchase the cleanser. I bought the moisturizing cream though but undecided whether it is safe to use!

     2) SVR Intense Moisturizing cream 40 ml
     Aqua (Purified Water), Propanediol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Corn Starch Modified, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Magnesium Gluconate, Manganese Gluconate, Zinc Gluconate, Zinc Gluconate, Saccharide Isomerate, Squalane, 1,2-Hexanediol, Arachidyl Alcohol, C12-16 Alcohols, Ceteth-20, Citric Acid, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, Palmitic Acid, Peg-75 Stearate, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Polysorbate-60, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Lactate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Steareth-20, Xanthan Gum, Chlorphenesin, O-Cymen-5-Ol, Parfum (Fragrance)

         I see that Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask should not be used due to glycolic acid, how about the following mask?

         Will eyeliners, lipstick/lip gloss, concealers pose any concerns for pregnancy too given the smaller surface in contact? In fact, I seldom put on makeup during weekdays and only tend to doll myself up for weekends and special occasions, thus undecided whether to change all my makeup now that I’m into my 25th week of pregnancy.. even without makeup, hormonal changes is causing outbreak around my chin and darkening of the area below my nose of which my Husband commented that I remind him of flintstone!

           I have a post about pregnancy safe makeup. In general, eye liners are wax and you don’t need to worry, but I have a post on pregnancy safe concealers, I don’t have a post currently on lip products because there are too many formulations and often each shade is different, but I would be worry that with lippies you can’t help but ingest some so I would be careful.
           Remind your husband that you’re hormonal and prone to breakouts, but so mean of him!

     Hello doctor,

     I don’t know if you are getting my posted comments or not but I really need to know the products I’m using are safe or not. I have already discounted some some products after reading your replies to other readers as we got some products in common. But the products I mentioned in previous posts are really my favourite and I don’t want to discontinue them if they are safe. As we don’t have the opportunity to get these products in our country whenever I buy them from another countries I buy them for 6months or 1yrs stock. I’ll be really grateful if you kindly help me reviewing the products I mentioned in previous posts.

     Thanks for understanding.

         NOOOOOO don’t consider that! The skin is a barrier, not much gets through it. Most of the evidence is for taking something by mouth, and even then you need such large amounts that it is hard to get that much. Note we just can’t say these things are safe because no one has studied them, so we recommend avoiding them. Lots of pregnant women don’t remotely consider these products and just keep doing whatever they want. At 2 weeks the baby has barely implanted, the exposure is minimal and I would just avoid the product for now on. Congratulations!!

     Hi Doctor,

     I don’t know if you are getting my posts or not. I badly need to know the products I’m currently using are safe or not. I already gave away some of my skincare products and perfumes to my friends but the products I mentioned in previous posts are really my everyday need so I wanted your advice or opinion about them.

     It took hours to type the names of the ingredients seeing from the products container. As you mentioned that the products vary by region I tried to send you the ingredients written on the bottle or jar (didn’t copy from any website).

     I know it’s tough for you to reply everyone but I don’t even see my comment posted so getting confused if you are getting them or not.

     It will be a great help if you at least let me know if you are getting them or not. Don’t know how to email you so I’m giving you my email address (nikita.mushfeq@gmail.com). At least let me know if have blocked me or marked my comments as spam it will save my time also as I won’t ask you same question again and again thinking that may be you are not getting them.

I have spent HOURS reviewing your lists, and you have barely said thank you. I suggest you speak with your doctor about future products if I am unable to answer you quickly enough, as some of your posts are only 30 minutes apart. In fact, I just deleted some where you posted the same comment 5 times, every 30 minutes, asking over and over why I hadn’t answered yet. I am not sitting here waiting for your posts, I work, I have a family and a life. Please treat me with kindness and respect.

     I am consider whether all of the products you have listed are safe to use through 38 weeks, or i need to stop using them in the first 3 months of pregnancy stage, somewhere said this is the cautious stage and don’t use anything, so i am confused about it.

     What a wonderful article! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I can’t imagine how time consuming it is. I was wondering if you have considered reviewing skin ceuticals? I use their CE Feurlic. I have read that it is safe during pregnancy. I am wondering about their other products though. 90% of my skin care is from them. Thank you!

     Dear Doctor,

     I don’t know if it’s relevant or not but I was really worried about this so couldn’t help asking you as I found you being extremely helpful.

     Is it safe to wear Apple Watch or any smart watch during pregnancy? My doctor said that she’s not sure about if it’s safe or not but she saw many of her patients wearing their smart watches. My husband gifted me an Apple Watch and as we are trying for baby I am confused if I should wear it or not.

     Thanks a lot for your help so far.

     By the way.. wish you a very happy new year 🥳

     Love and best wishes to you and your family.

       There isn’t much data out about this, and it is something I am not going to comment on as I would need to do many hours of reading and even then likely couldn’t give you a complete answer. I would decide this with your doctor and if you’re worried I would just not wear it.

       The ingredients of both are ok, but I would be very careful. The St Ive’s scrubs are particularly harsh and can actually cut your skin, at least their old apricot one did. So, don’t overdo it and if they’re sharp I would avoid.

       I’ve actually responded to you about this several time I think. This isn’t the full ingredient list, you’re missing the sunscreens. I have been unable to locate those, if you can get the brand to respond to you with that information that would be great, but as this list is written there are no “active ingredients”. Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide are both listed at the very end of the list, but they would not be high enough of an amount to provide SPF 30. Something is written incorrectly or missing here.

       No, that has glycolic acid as well as licorice root. If you read my skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy post the only AHAs I would consider ok are lactic acid (which your body makes naturally) and citric acid (you get much more from drinking a glass of OJ).

       #1 has arbutin and I wouldn’t use that. I don’t know what the “AHA” is in #2 but all except lactic acid and citric acid should be avoided. It also has salicylates anyways so I wouldn’t use that either. #3 has licorice root and I wouldn’t use that. #4 has chemical sunscreens that should be avoided. The mask is ok.

     Good morning,

     I follow your recommendations and sincerely appreciate you taking time to review so many products. I purchased a Lancome foundation because it was in your safe list, only to realize that they have changed the ingredients and it now contains a chemical sunscreen. I am pregnant and almosf due and I was planning to return it, but then I was wondering if it can be used after pregnancy and while breastfeeding? I know certain products are a no no for both, but was not sure about chemical sunscreen.

     Thank you!

       No, I don’t consider any of the active ingredients to be safe during pregnancy and there’s some debate in the US about whether they’re ever safe given a low risk of liver failure. Note the UK considers self tanners safe in pregnancy, but I’m more conservative.

       Hair products are exempt according to all the OBs I’ve talk to. If this was a skincare product I’d say to avoid it (retinoid and salicylate) but it’s mostly on your hair. Having said all that, I still screened my shampoo because I tend to apply and let it sit on my scalp for a bit before rinsing off. If you’re nervous at all I’d just find a different shampoo.

     Hi Doctor
     I read your article on “Preganancy Safe Primers” and you’ve mentioned “Dr Brandt Pores No More” is safe to use but it has TEA TREE OIL in their ingredients….I remember on your blog you have also talked about staying away from essential oil like Tea tree oil as well….so is it still safe to use the primer then? I have been using it on my face every day throughout my first and second trimester…can you please let me know if it’s ok for me to continue using it?
     Hope to hear from you soon, thanks!

     Hi there! Thank you so much for the info on your site, it’s so helpful to first-time mothers like me! I recently bought a hand cream that seems to be the only thing that has actually helped my winter dry hands heal. It’s J.R. Watkins shea butter hand cream. Mostly I’m concerned about the St. John’s wort extract which I just noticed, but maybe there’s something else as well that should be avoided?
     The ingredients are:
     Water, butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), glyceryl stearate SE, stearic acid, fragrance (from natural sources), theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, macadamia ternifolia seed oil, persea gratissima (avocado) oil, cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, orbignya oleifera seed oil, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, sodium behenoyl lactylate, beeswax, allantoin, panthenol, citrus medica limonum (lemon) peel oil, carthamus tinctorius (safflower) seed oil, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, glycerin, calendula officinalis flower extract, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, tilia cordata flower extract, centaurea cyanus flower extract, anthemis nobilis flower extract, hypericum perforatum extract, tocopheryl acetate, benzyl alcohol, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, sodium hydroxide.

     Is this safe? Appreciate all your insight on this website! Thank you very much.

             15mins said:

             There’s not much info out there that we consider “good” depending upon how the research was done. Truthfully, the real studies that need to be done to prove safety will never be completed because they are unethical to do. However, licorice root has enough info out there that more and more OBs that I know have been saying to avoid it lately, so I added it to my list a little over a year ago. Many of the brand posts I will tell you which ingredients I am worried about (note this is very time consuming, but I’m slowly going back through the brand lists to add this in, originally these were just lists of the safe products). So if you have decided you’re fine with Licorice Root then you’ll know if that was the 1 ingredient I was worried about. There’s an explanation in my post on what ingredients to avoid in your skincare while pregnant.

       The serum is fine, gingseng isn’t something we worry about in skincare products. The lash primer list is concerning for the licorice root, but note as you’re applying it like a mascara it is only on your lashes and they’re basically dead hairs that can’t absorb anything.

       I don’t comment on products without ingredients, please read the linked post (it is bolded and has a graphic to draw attention to it) about how to request product safety information. I do not know which serum or moisturizer you mean, searching their entire line would take me all day, please be respectful of me and my time. Glow Tonic is definitely not safe as it is a glycolic acid toner.

             So the problem is that the sunless tanning ingredient Erythrulose is also implicated in a remote chance of liver failure in adults, so there’s been some debate about whether they are safe at all, let alone during pregnancy. Anything that has sunless tanning activity I personally would avoid.

     Hello, doctor! This may sound a bit silly but I will ask this for my peace of mind. Being pregnant and having a baby make a woman paranoid most of the time. right? So, just wondering if.. for example, I use all pregnancy safe skincare products.. but, are they still safe on the baby if I use them altogether? I mean for example, one ingredient of a product might react to one ingredient of another product even if they’re both considered as pregnancy safe. If this may sound crazy, please don’t post this, doctor! This is just me and my paranoid mind. Im a first time mom so please understand. lol. Thank you doctor. I’m a fan, btw. ☺️

       Ha! You already knew you were being a bit crazy. 🙂 That doesn’t happen. I mean there are sometimes transformations/reactions that take place (even just being applied and absorbing in to the skin), but the list takes possible reactions into account. For example with the Salicylates and Retinoids, possible transformations into more dangerous things are taken into account and assumed to happen. So, no worries. 🙂 Please let me know if there’s a topic you want me to cover, I have a giant list of things to write about but I’m not sure which ones to do first!

     Hi Doc,

     I am so upset. 🙁 I stupidly didn’t double check the body scrub I’ve been using almost daily for the past few months. It’s the Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub, and I assumed because it boasts such natural ingredients and no parabens it would be okay. Today,for kicks and giggles, I glanced at it:

     Ingredients: Sucrose (Sugar), Glycerin, Polysorbate 20, Silica, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Ascorbic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Fragrance, Microcrystalline Wax, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Caramel, Iron Oxides.

     It has Retinyl Palmitate!! I hope this isn’t TMI, but I sadly went through a miscarriage last weekend and now I’m wondering if this could have contributed to the loss. Also, I’m still nursing my toddler and I’m so worried that it could have hurt her too. 🙁 I’m obviously putting these scrubs away, but I’m worried about my toddler.. should I get her checked over?

     We’ll go back to TTC probably next week, so I’m still stocking up and replacing my stuff with safe products. 🙂

       This absolutely did NOT contribute. The amount of retinoid in a product that actually gets into your system is pretty small. I recommend talking to your OB about the miscarriage, most recommend waiting before TTC again, but they’ll want to review your miscarriage and ensure you are ok.

       What you are experiencing now is totally normal, you’re grieving and ready to blame anything you can. Using a body scrub didn’t result in the miscarriage, nothing you did or could have done differently would have changed anything at all. I’m so sorry for your loss, if I was there I would give you a big hug.

         Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s been a difficult week but I’m finally feeling a bit better.

         Yep, I was agonizing if I had carried my daughter too much (she’s a solid 28 lbs 19-month old), if it was because I was breastfeeding still. But my OB assured me it was nothing I could have done and she gave me a big hug. 🙂 She actually said I could go back to trying as soon as my numbers went down to 0, and didn’t have to wait the 3 months if I didn’t want to. I’m turning 40 this Thursday, so I’m anxious to give my daughter a sibling. 🙂

           I’m glad you talked to her and she gave you the OK! I definitely understand feeling the time pressure. And I am glad she also told you that there was nothing you could have done. I wish more OBs would make that obvious! So many women have horrible guilt when they absolutely shouldn’t. It’s only natural (and completely normal) to feel that way, but it isn’t fair to you. You couldn’t have changed the outcome at all, you are a good mom and it wasn’t your fault! Even carrying your 19 month old 🙂 I wish you so much luck conceiving, I hope you have your rainbow baby soon!

     Hello
     I was wondering is RoseHip Seed Oil safe to use for skin as a moisturizer. I am 35 years old and 10 weeks postpartum. Looking for something for my acne rosacea or my hormonal acne ( whatever this is on my cheek).

     The only ingredient in the rose hip oil is organic unrefined rosehip oil. I read on some websites the concern with rosehip oil and the amount of vitamin A it has.

     Also, Im interested in these products and also wondering if they are safe to use.

       So what I’ve been told is that the Vitamin A in Rosehip is different enough chemically that it isn’t worried about.

       The Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Beautiful Day Cream and 1000 Roses Rosewater Mask have plant stem cells (discussion here). The others look ok.

     Hi Doc,

     A while back I left a very long winded message about several Dermaquest products and I cannot seem to find it. I guess I assumed I would get an email if you commented (and maybe you do but I didn’t get one). Not sure if you recall and can direct me to your answers… For now 2 questions are more general:

     1 – I found out my moisturizer has a small percentage of Vitamin A and I used it throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding 🙁 I assume it’s not THAT big a deal but I am discontinuing… thoughts?

     2 – Dermaquest is sending me a pregnancy safe list of products. Do you find that you on occasion disagree with them? Or should we always trust the manufacturer?

     Thank you for your thoughts!

       Especially long comments sometimes get filtered out by my spam filter. Unfortunately as I get thousands of spam comments a day I do not have time to go through them.
       1- It depends on the form of vitamin A. Any retinoid I would stop, but Beta Carotene is ok.
       2- I’m not familiar with Dermaquest at all, but I have disagreed with brands in the past. I’ve had brands say that retinoids are safe, and they definitely are not. I’d say it is up to you who to trust. The 1 brand I’ve always agreed with is Belli Beauty.

     As per your opinion they were not safe so I stopped using them. I am due early April and I’ll be packing my hospital bag soon.
     Was wondering if I could use Lancer products striaght after delivery.

     Please let me know if you would like me to list down exfoliator, cleanser, eye cream and sunscreen ingredients again.

       The ingredients are fine from a pregnancy safety standpoint, but I would caution you to NOT use this on your face. This scrub was even a specific topic of discussion in my dermatology lectures in medical school, they showed microscope pictures of the gauges and cuts it puts into the skin because it is so sharp and rough.

     This is all I can find on their website for ingredients:
     Acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) – minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.Sodium hyaluronate – has the ability to hold 1,000 times its weight in water and plays an important role in skin hydration. Hydrated skin appears plump and luminous.Squalene – a natural oil found in olives and wheat germ that keeps skin moist.Rice bran wax – moisturizes and smooths the skin.

     I came across this American cream cleanser and didn’t know if this was the right place to post to ask whether it’s safe to use or not as apparently it’s gppd for acne so that rang alarm bells due to so much being limited regarding using acne products when pregnant. It’s called noxema original cleansing cream and this is the ingredients list if you don’t mind sitting through them! X

       It’s fine for pregnancy, though it’s really the camphor and eucalyptus that make it seem medicated. I don’t think it’s actually all that amazing for acne, though I admit I haven’t used it since I was a teen.

     I’m wondering about the pregnancy safety of a Bumble and Bumble color stick I use to cover up my hair roots when they grow out. I try to apply it directly to the hair, but some of it gets on my scalp. Ingredients are below. In general, if you have any thoughts or posts on semi-permanent hair color during pregnancy, I would appreciate the reference.

     C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate , Polymethyl Methacrylate , Jojoba Esters , Hydrogenated Polyisobutene , Iron Oxides (Ci 77499) , Polyethylene , Isononyl Isononanoate , Silica , Cellulose , Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil , Cetyl Peg/Ppg-10/1 Dimethicone , Caprylyl Glycol

       Clarins likely has different criteria for pregnancy safety than I do, I’m pretty conservative. I don’t know what criteria they use.

         Thanks Doc! Do you think I should be a little concerned about the Parabens in product number 1? I hear everywhere pregnant women shouldn’t be using creams with Parabens because it causes birth defects. I’m confused. Please advise.

           There’s no evidence that they cause birth defects. In very high doses they might act similar to estrogens, but those are really only able to be produced in labs. They are found naturally in things like blue berries as well. There’s a little more discussion in my post on skin care ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

     I did as much research as I could so as not to bother you with a dumb question but can’t seem to find anything on DeVita Hyaluronic Serugel which seems to contain all OK ingredients but one confounds me:

     sodium pyrolidone carboxylic acid (NaPCA) – can’t seem to find anything online that is specific to this ingredient and pregnancy.
     Everything I have researched on grapeseed extract says to avoid ingesting it and nothing about putting it on skin during pregnancy

     Full list of ingredients:

     Aloe Barbadensis (aloe vera gel), Hyaluronic acid, Glycerin, Fucus Vesiculosis (seaweed extract), NaPCA, Arthemis Nobilis (chamomile flower seed extract), Vitis Vinifera (grapeseed) extract

     Thank you for your time. This site is amazing. In the vast sea of information yours is the one I turn to the most regarding skincare.

       The NaPCA is a derivative of something already found in your skin, so I’m not worried about that. I haven’t found anything about avoiding grapeseed extract in pregnancy that I consider credible. I think this would be fine, but if you are at all worried I’d just hold on to it until after delivery.

       So there aren’t any ingredients listed here for the Chanel product. I haven’t found a reliable (and easy to get) source of ingredients for Chanel’s products. I do think they send them if you email, but they aren’t on their site or retailers such as Nordstrom or Saks.

       #2 is ok but #3 has licorice root so I wouldn’t use that.
       The second #3 Lip Shimmer balm is ok, and the Cocoa (another balm?) is also ok

     I would really appreciate if you can give me advice on the ff lash serum. I know I’ve asked about other brands before, but I found this online and I’m hoping you can help me find out if it’s safe for me to use or not. Thank you very much.

       I’m sorry, it can take me a while to get to all of the comments when I am working a lot at my job, and this one has taken me a lot of research trying to find out more about the fruit cell extract.
       For boost volume, I can’t find what the “glycoproteins” are, that’s a pretty general term. I don’t know what they exactly mean by that. The lash serum does have stem cells in it, which I have more discussion on in my post on skin care ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.
       I would likely avoid both products.

       Sorry, I just only got through a few comments yesterday, it was my only day at home with my kiddos.
       This has a licorice root extract (Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate) that I usually recommend avoiding while pregnant. There’s also the Malus Domestica (Apple) Fruit Cell Culture, which I can’t figure out from their website if they consider this a “stem cell” extract or not? Just an apple juice extract kind of thing is ok, but I recommend avoiding the stem cell ones just due to some many unknowns, there’s more info on the post about skin care ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

       Pregnancy safety for skincare isn’t broken down by trimesters, just pregnant or not pregnant. Bio-oil has the retinoid you noticed and a salicylate, neither of which are safe for pregnancy.

     Hello Doc!
     I’m currently using Goop…I went through all the ingredients and most of them seemed ok for pregnancy, unless you see something that isn’t. However, I did find 3 ingredients that where high on the EWG and was wondering if you know why, and if they can be dangerous when pregnant? Limonene which is a 6 on the EWG, Linalool & Citronellol which are a 5, and citral which is a 7. What do you think about gluconolactone, it’s says it’s not safe when pregnant). Also, I was reading that essential oils can be just as dangerous as synthetic chemicals, like lavender (can mess with your hormones), lemon oil(can be dangerous when exposed to the sun), apricot kernel oil, Bitter Orange, Linseed oil (dangerous during the last 2 trimesters), ect… there a lot of essential oils in these products:) Thank you so much for checking this!

       So, I (and many other physicians) don’t really agree with much of the EWG’s assertions about many things, they seem to reach conclusions for studies that the scientists who did the studies don’t agree with. They’ve made up that number scale on their own, I don’t know what to make of it.

       The ingredients you list (limonene, etc) are mostly found in citrus fruits and I haven’t found anything to make me recommend avoiding them, and I don’t know any OBs or Derms that recommend doing so either. They are easy to avoid in products if you want to, but I haven’t screened them out of any products.

       It is definitely true that some essential oils are just as dangerous as some chemicals. Lavender is one that can act like estrogen for example, though it takes repeated exposure at high doses. I’ve even had a toddler in my PICU in a coma due to tea tree oil. Typically we recommend not using a lot of straight oils, you can find them in products and in those diluted amounts they’re typically ok. Lemon oil can cause a typical rash with sun exposure, it isn’t really dangerous. I don’t know of a reason to avoid linsead oil.

       Finally, I do recommend avoiding Gluconolactone, it is a polyhydroxy acid, like the AHAs and BHAs, we say to avoid during pregnancy.

       #1- has gluconolactone to avoid
       #2 and #3 are ok
