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.

Yay thanks so much!! xx
I have a question about a body scrub I use… I’m assuming it absorbs into the skin somewhat? I wash this off but obviously it partially absorbs. Would like to know your thoughts on its ingredients:
Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Maris Sal (Sea Salt), Sucrose, Glyceryl Stearate, Polysorbate 20, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, PEG-100 Stearate, Hydrated Silica, Ave Sativa (Oat) Kernel Meal, Aqua (Water), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Parfum (Fragrance), Benzyl Benzoate, Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Powder, Dipropylene Glycol, Mel (Honey), Prunus Amygdalus Dulsis (Sweet Almond) Seed Extract, Musa Sapientum (Ba) Fruit Extract, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Detonium Benzoate, Benzoic Acid
Looks fine to me! I agree with you, I do think scrubs stick around some, mine tend to leave a residue on my skin. Usually an oil that I think is hydrating (so I like it), but it does make the scrubs worth checking the ingredients.
hey! desperately missing my sunless tanner and hoping to use a body makeup from the same company (loving tan) instead. ingredients listed below:
Deionized water, cyclopentasiloxane, cyclopentasiloxane (and) peg-10 dimethicone (and) disteardimonium hectorite, cyclopentasiloxane (and) cyclohexasiloxane, cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone, sodium stearoyl glutamate, sodium chloride, isododecane, panthenol, tocopheryl acetate, sclerocarya birrea oil, sodium chloride, mica and iron oxides, palmaria palmata extract, phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin, fragrance

The first 2 are fine, the last is ok except for the glycolic acid at the end of the list. Physicians don’t agree on whether that’s ok during pregnancy, I’m on the conservative side and say to avoid it, but you might want to discuss with your dermatologist.
Thank you so much!
Hello, please is pure coffee oil , ok to use as a facial moisturiser while pregnant?
I wouldn’t use that as it is likely pretty high in caffeine, something we caution pregnant women to avoid in large amounts while pregnant.
Hi Doc! Thank you so much for your hard working. Foodaholic is not yet included in your list. It is a Korean brand. Could you please check if the ingredients below of this toner are safe? It is the Tomato Fresh Skin Toner. Thank you so much again Doc!

I haven’t heard of that brand, I’ve just added them to my todo list. I wouldn’t use this while pregnant due to the licorice root. Should be fine for nursing.
Thank you so much Doc! 🙂

i noticed you listed obagi tinted sun shield broad spectrum SPF 50 in medium.
i use this sun tinted sun shield in cool. is this tone on the do-not-use list?
active ingredients:
– homosalate 10%
– octinoxate 7.5%
– titanium dioxide 3.15%
– zinc oxide 5%
also, do you list obagi ZO products anywhere? i can’t find them on your site!
thank you!
I haven’t had a chance to go through the ZO products yet, I’ll likely list them under Obagi when I do. Or do you think I should make a separate page? I have the Obagi Nu-Derm products on there….
I stupidly put the Warm on there (just took it off), but it should be for all tints, so I wouldn’t use it while pregnant. Hope that helps!
Do you have a list of safe aveda products please?
You don’t need to worry about hair products
Hi Doctor,
Is Biotherm safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
I didn’t see it on your list, but biotherm has a page on why each product is good for pregnant.
I just wanted a professional opinion.
Thank you xx
I tend to be more conservative than brands, but I can’t comment on an entire brand. Biotherm is on my to do list, but I haven’t gotten to it yet.
Could you please review these 2 products? Thanks!

https://www.laino.fr/produit/eau-bleuet/
It looks ok for pregnancy to me 🙂
Hi Dr, Thank you so much for this website! I just found out I am going to be a first time mom and I have been combing through this site for hours. My question is about the Milk Makeup hydrogrip primer:
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water, Water, Glycerin, PEG-150 Distearate, Alcohol Denat., Polyglyceryl-10 Eicosanedioate/Tetradecanedioate, Diglycerin, PVP, Benzyl Alcohol, Sorbitol, Pullulan, Inositol, Betaine, Carbomer, Maltose, Xylitol, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Phytate, Benzophenone-4, Dehydroacetic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Agave Tequilana Stem Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, Propylene Glycol, Panthenol, Vegetable Amino Acids, Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Extract, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower Extract, Prunus Avium Flower Extract, Citric Acid, Benzoic Acid, Yellow 5 (Ci 19140), Blue 1 (Ci 42090), Red 33 (Ci 17200).
My main questions is about the Cannabis (Hemp) in it. I asked my OBGYN about it and she had never heard of Cannabis infused makeup before but said in order to be legal it probably only contains a very small amount and it should be fine. What are your thoughts?
Thank you so much!!
Here’s my little blurb about Cannabis/Hemp in products:
There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.
Hi!

I did the full list of Osea products for you
Hi Doctor,
Can you please recommend me a safe hair spray which I can use safely during pregnancy?
Thank you!! 🙂
You can use any hair spray you want 🙂
but I have read everywhere that hair sprays are not safe during pregnancy
that’s why I was worried
I haven’t read that anywhere, and many OBs have specifically told me they ignore hair products while pregnant. Your hair is dead protein and can’t absorb anything. You should be holding your breath and stepping out of the cloud of product anyways when you apply, but note that even under the best inhalation circumstances (when we are doing it on purpose for things like albuterol) not as much gets absorbed as you think. If you have airway reaction issues I would be careful, and switching to a pump/non-aerosol hairspray will minimize exposure, but you’re not able to absorb any hair spray that you apply to your hair.
Hi,
I been using Channel Anti- Pollution Toner until I recognised that Im pregnant. I wonder if it is still safe for me to use. Could you have a look all the toner ingredients from this product please?
At the heart of LE TONIQUE, a unique blend of two marine plant extracts helps combat pollution while preserving skin’s essential rhythms.
– Blue micro-algae protect cells from micro-stress caused by pollution.*
– Marine salicornia extract delivers its moisturising and strengthening actions to the skin.
LE TONIQUE combines the performances of these two potent ingredients with the soothing benefits of a refreshing, alcohol-free texture.
Thank you so much!

I’ve looked all through your posts for any Senegence products — I’m wondering if Senegence EyeLuminator is safe for pregnancy?

——————–
Also wondering about Rodan and Fields Microdermabrasion Paste:
Proprietary Technology + Key Ingredients:
Vitamin C: brightens skin
Vitamin E: soothes for more even, healthier-looking skin
Complete Ingredient List:
C11-13 Isoparaffin, Sodium Chloride, Cyclopentasiloxane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cyclohexasiloxane, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Sucrose, Sodium Bicarbonate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Bisabolol, Trihydroxystearin, Silica, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Linalool, Lyral, d-Limonene, Fragrance, Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Yellow 6 (CI 15985).
I haven’t gotten to either of these brands yet, sorry!
The EyeLuminator has a retinoid, so definitely avoid during pregnancy and many would avoid it during nursing as well.
I wouldn’t use the scrub during pregnancy either due to licorice root. It’s ok for nursing though.
Than you so much for these lists!
May i know if this is safe for pregnant?

Hello,
I’m sorry but I wasn’t sure where else to post my question. The comments for pregnancy safe foundation were shut off. I know you mention Armani silk foundation is not safe for pregnancy due to chemical sunscreen but I was told by someone at a beauty counter that it doesn’t contain SPF. Could you please confirm?
https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/giorgio-armani-luminous-silk-foundation/2853110
ingredients:
Aqua/Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Isododecane, Alcohol Denat., Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Cetyl Peg/Ppg-10/1 Dimethicone, Hexyl Laurate, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Phenoxyethanol, Acetylated Glycol Stearate, Magnesium Sulfate, Peg-10 Dimethicone, Trihydroxystearin, Cellulose Gum, Nylon-12, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Benzyl Alcohol, Linalool, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Isobutane, Diphenyl Dimethicone, Acrylonitrile/Methyl Methacrylate/Vinylidene Chloridecopolymer, Parfum/Fragrance, Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Methylparaben, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Aluminum Hydroxide, Hexyl Cinnamal; May Contain: Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide, Ci 77491, Ci 77492, Ci 77499/Iron Oxides.
This looks like a different version as this one has a salicylate and I don’t think mine has that. Looking at the bottle in my drawer, mine has ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate in it. There are a lot of products that might not have a listed SPF value on them (in order to get that claim the brand has to go through a lot of expensive testing to prove they have adequately achieved that SPF), but they still put sunscreen ingredients in the product to reduce UV breakdown of the product and increase shelf life.
Due to the salicylate I wouldn’t use this version while pregnant, it’s ok for nursing.

Hello, I was wondering if you’ve done any research or have any information on pregnancy safe toothpaste or deodorant. Or am I just being too paranoid? Do these items not matter? Thank you for your time.
I haven’t looked at toothpaste at all, I doubt they really matter too much. There are very few deodorants that aren’t ok (the aluminum really is fine in normal versions), ironically the ones I’ve found that have problem ingredients are the “natural” ones. I have screened a few if you look around in the brands (I know L’Occitane I screened their deodorants), but the ones from mainstream brands such as Secret are really hard to tell apart and find the exact ones out there, and they’ve all been safe so I’m kind of over here ignoring the issue for now LOL
Hi there,

Is it safe to use all natural cleanser made from tea tree oil. And toners with tea tree and witch hazel ?
I’m also confused I was told the farmacy brand was safe in pregnancy and recommend the honey bee face wash as it was deemed safe?
I tend to be on the conservative side, but there isn’t clear cut evidence for “this is safe” or “that isn’t safe”. I differ from some brands that way (they’re trying to sell you stuff, I’m trying to direct you to other stuff if I’m worried about something). This is explained in more depth in my Pregnancy Beauty FAQ, more info as well on specific ingredients and why to avoid them in pregnancy skincare ingredients to avoid.
Tea tree oil and witch hazel are both fine, as long as you’re not bathing in them basically. I don’t remember about the specific face wash you mentioned, but I have a post on Farmacy skincare in pregnancy, and if I had a concern about a specific ingredient I will call it out in that post.
Hi Christine,

Unfortunately this has a retinoid (making it a definite no while pregnant and likely while nursing as well if you’re conservative), as well as gluconolactone, which should also be avoided during pregnancy. Sorry!

Hi Doctor,
What are you thoughts on eye drops that constrict blood vessels, that is, anti red eye drops?
Thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into this site. It is such an incredible resource.
I would check with your OB on that. In theory the active ingredient can be absorbed and circulate to the placenta and beyond to the baby. It’s kind of like Afrin that way. I avoided both while pregnant/nursing and would probably recommend the same, but I would double check with OB.
Thank you 🙂

Nothing is glaringly obvious, but I don’t think these are the “real” full ingredient lists. They aren’t allowed to list trade names such as matrixyl 3000™, it needs to have the actual chemical names, so that makes me worry there’s a different and more complete list out there with other things listed.

All look ok to me 🙂
I apologize if you’ve posted this and I have not seen it, but what about when a shampoo has salicylic acid, like Matrix Biolage?
Aqua / Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Coco-Betaine, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Amodimethicone, Cocamide Mipa, Laureth-5 Carboxylic Acid, Polyquaternium-10, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Parfum / Fragrance, Sodium Benzoate, PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Salicylic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Camellia Kissi / Camellia Kissi Seed Oil, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Coumarin, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Methyl Cocoate, Benzyl Alcohol, Hydroxycitronellal, Amyl Cinnamal, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid.
So you don’t need to worry about most hair products because you really apply them to your hair (which is dead proteins that can’t absorb anything), but shampoo may or may not be an exception to that. Personally, I apply shampoo mostly to my scalp, and I do let it sit there for a few minutes. If you do the same then I would screen shampoo the same way you do skincare products, which means I wouldn’t have used this while pregnant. I hope that helps!

Hi, Christine,
Thanks for the big list and all the information provided on this website.
I found many places have listed “fragrance” as one of the things to avoid during pregnancy. There are many products I am looking at contains all safe ingredients but fragrance. Should I then avoid all of them?
Thank you!
I had read that all over and asked my OB about it at one point (it wasn’t on the University’s list of things to avoid) and he said it wasn’t something to worry about.
Dear Dr. Christine,
Is this product safe to use during pregnancy and nursing? Thank you for your time and all your information and guides!!

Unfortunately the sunscreens ingredients aren’t included here or on that website. The list here looks ok, but safety really depends on those.
I believe the CI 77891 is Titanium Dioxide which is the second listed ingredient. Thank you for the help!
Hi Dr! Thank you so much for this website. I have been struggling to find shampoo and conditioner that’s pregnancy safe. I’ve looked through this whole website and I can’t find anything about shampoo. Can you please recommend a good and pregnancy safe brand? Thank you.
You don’t need to worry about shampoo/conditioner, that’s why 🙂 Your hair doesn’t absorb anything, I’ve been told by many OBs not to worry about it. most people barely apply to their scalp even. I would likely screen a shampoo if you apply directly to the scalp and let it sit for long time.
I always apply it directly to the scalp. Not the conditioner, but the shampoo I always apply directly to the scalp and it sits for a few seconds before washing it off. Is there not anything you could recommend? I know that my friends desperately is trying to find something as well.
This is one of my favorite shampoos, and it’s pregnancy safe! It’s the only hair product I would worry about
I googled around for a bit and found this one from Aveeno. Is this ok?

I can’t comment on a product without a full ingredient list. Chanel would not release their ingredient lists to me, sorry.

I see both sodium cocyl isethionate and cocamidopropyl betaine are considered not safe dring pregnancy according to FDA. How do you consider them OK?
I am looking for a safe Shampoo furing pregnancy and so far all options seems to have at least one dangerous ingredients!
I can’t find any information about those not being considered safe, other than on a few “natural” blogs that state the FDA considers them unsafe, but they’re not considered unsafe in the medical community and I can’t find any information on the FDA website.
Hello! Your website has been very helpful and informative. I was wondering if you would be reviewing the Cosmedix brand in the future? I would like to know, specifically, if the following product is safe to use while pregnant:
1) Purity Clean Exfoliating Cleanser
Key Ingredients
Chirally Correct L-Lactic Acid (5%) I Exfoliates away cellular debris and pore-clogging impurities

I apologize! The Fenty hydrating foundation is different than the one that is already out, the matte one. Same with the hydrating primer, it’s different than the one that Fenty already had out previously.
I believe the milk flex stick is new as well, but I do see the matte liquid foundation on your list.
Thank you again for checking these!

Hello, I noticed you said Kojac Acid is not a safe ingredient, however, Mad Hippie Vitamin C actually has it in it. I was wondering if that was still considered a safe product even with the Kojac acid?
Also, I noticed that Acure and Hempz had not been tested. Is there any way to test they two brands to see?
Thank you so much for your time.
Mad Hippie Vitamin C actually has Konjac Root, which is NOT Kojic acid. They are different ingredients. That serum is safe.
Acure and Hempz are both on my to do list already.

I got everything from the actual package so hope everything is spelled right. Thanks again!!
Typing it in takes extra dedication!! Both of these are pregnancy safe. Have you tried the Sublimage before? I’ve been looking at it (I use Chanel CC Cream and a couple of their other foundations currently), but wasn’t sure I wanted to splurge on such an expensive foundation.
Yes it’s so nice! For special occasions, I get my makeup done at the Chanel counter at Bloomingdales because one of them is a wedding makeup artist (I hired her for my wedding too!). I don’t usually wear foundation so I didn’t mind splurging and their concealer is amazing for everyday use! My makeup artist also uses Sublimage La Creme to prep my skin and it feels so amazing!

Sorry if I’m bombarding your site with a lot of questions, but I am just so paranoid with the products I’m using. Thank you doc for your patience in answering our questions.
These all look ok 🙂
Looks good!
Good day, doc!
I’m into Korean Products and I just want to make sure if what I’m currently using are safe for pregnancy. The Tony Moly Brand is not on the list, hence, this comment.

The first ones are all pregnancy safe, but the 2x First Essence has a chemical sunscreen and glycolic acid, so I wouldn’t use it while pregnant. It’s ok for nursing.

Hi Doc,
How do you feel about using Jamaican Black Castor Oil on hair while pregnant? It seems to be in a lot of curly girl products. Thanks!
On hair it should be fine, your hair can’t absorb anything into your body. 🙂

This has salicylic acid, and malic acid. Ok for nursing but not while still pregnant.
Hi there- is that means that salicylic acid will not mix with the breast milk?
Thanks,
Estelle
I don’t know for sure if it does or doesn’t. It isn’t felt to be a danger to the baby at that point.

Unfortunately as I’m in the US, I get booted over to the US site automatically (you’re linking me to the UK site), and the US site does NOT feature the “additional info” area or any ingredients. I’ve been in contact with their customer service and this isn’t going to change in the US and they won’t send me the ingredients directly (the person that responded to me was actually rather rude about it)
Both of these products are fine

#2 has licorice root so ok for nursing but not pregnancy
Hi! This is a deodorant, but I imagine similar principles apply for ingredients?!
EO Deodorant Cream Lavender.
Ingredients: Purified water, tapioa starch, organic theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, sodium bicarbonate, polyglyceryl-6 stearate, polyglyceryl-6 behenate, EO® Essential Oil Blend [lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil, lavandula hybrida oil, citrus aurantium dulics (orange) peel oil, cananga odorata flower oil, boswellia carterii oil, vetiveria zizanioides root oil], tocopherol, lonicera caprifolium extract, lonicera japonica extract, sodium hydroxide.
I was most worried about Cassava root (tapioca) as I saw that eating large doses of cassava root during pregnancy is dangerous.
Thanks for your help!
I was never warned about eating tapioca during pregnancy, but the amount that you’d absorb through the skin is minimal exposure compared to eating it, especially in large amounts. This deodorant is fine for pregnancy.
Thank you!

AH yes! I’m so sorry about that. Thank you!
Totally fine! 🙂
Hello! When you said that we don’t need to worry about using eyeliners when pregnant because it doesn’t get absorbed by our skin, were you talking about all kinds of eyeliners like pencil, liquid, and gel? I just wanted to clarify. Hope to hear from you soon!
Pretty much all kinds. The pencils are colored wax and the eyeliners form a film that sits there. The good news is that the brow products all do the same thing 🙂

Can’t thank you enough for what you are doing for us. May Allah bless you with tremendous success with everything you do.

Deionized water, acidified amino acid, cellulose based natural plant gums, urea, L-absorbic acid (vitamin C), dehydrated alcohol, Dead Sea minerals.
Thank you so very much!
Sorry, this is the only comment I have gotten from you. I get thousands of spam comments a day and sometimes real comments get stuck in the filters, and it would take me hours to go through the spam filters to find the couple of comments that got stuck. I have a job and a family, I can NOT do this.
This product is find for pregnancy.
Hi!
For the Kiehl’s Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate, you’ve written that it’s safe. But it’s now reformulated. I was wandering if it’s still safe if it has propylene glycol? Because I’m reading that it’s not for pregnancy.
This is the full list of ingredients
vitamin c
hyaluronic acid
PROPYLENE GLYCOL
DIMETHICONE
GLYCERIN
ASCORBIC ACID
ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE
CETYL PEG/PPG-10/1 DIMETHICONE
DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER
ASCORBYL GLUCOSIDE
CYCLOHEXASILOXANE
HYDROXYETHYLPIPERAZINE ETHANE SULFONIC ACID
LAUROYL LYSINE
ACRYLONITRILE/METHYL METHACRYLATE/VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE COPOLYMER
POLYSILICONE-11
ADENOSINE
HYDROLYZED HYALURONIC ACID
LIMONENE
ISOBUTANE
CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS (ORANGE) PEEL OIL
CITRUS LIMON PEEL OIL / LEMON PEEL OIL
CITRAL
PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL
HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE
I re-reviewed it after the US reformulation. Propylene glycol is regarded as safe by all the physicians I have discussed this with.
I’m having a pretty hard time finding a safe toner that is also hydrating (my current one didn’t make the safety cut).
How does the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner Stack up? They claim their whole brand is pregnancy safe but I need a second opinion.
Ingredients:
Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Butylene Glycol, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Carbomer, Arginine
This looks good to me!

Hello!
I do not see Chanel listed above. I was wondering if Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base is safe to use during pregnancy?
Unfortunately, Chanel website does not list the ingredients. I was wondering if you have any info on this product.
Thanks!
Unfortunately Chanel will not release ingredient information to me and I can’t comment without a full ingredient list. In my experience (I use a LOT of Chanel myself), anything with an SPF on it will have chemical sunscreens and won’t be pregnancy safe. Sorry I can’t help more.

Dear Doctor Christine,
I wanted to see if this Face Moisturizer by Olay, Complete All Day Moisturizer With Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15 – Sensitive is OK to use while pregnant?
Octyl Methoxycinnamate (6%)| Zinc Oxide (3%)| Water| Isohexadecane| Glycerin |Polyacrylamide C13-14 Isoparaffin| Laureth-7| Cyclomethicone| Dimethicone Copolyol| Steareth-21| Stearyl Alcohol| Sucrose Poly-cottonseedate| Behenyl Alcohol| DMDM Hydantoin| Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate| Tocopheryl Acetate| Disodium EDTA| Steareth-2| DEA-Oleth-3 Phosphate
Sorry, this has a chemical sunscreen to avoid while pregnant. It is ok for nursing.
Hi Christine,
I saw that you have The Ordinary products, but didn’t see another of Deciem’s skin care lines, Hylamide. Specifically, are the following safe to use during pregnancy:
SubQ Skin:
aqua (water), glycerin, hydrolyzed yeast extract, pentylene glycol, tamarindus indica seed gum, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, myristoyl nonapeptide-3, copper lysinate/prolinate, methylglucoside phosphate, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate, ahnfeltia concinna extract, saccharide isomerate, polyglucuronic acid, lactobacillus/eriodictyon californicum ferment extract, pseudoalteromonas ferment extract, phospholipids, lecithin, hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin, cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose, polyacrylate crosspolymer-6, hexylene glycol, salicylic acid, citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium hydroxide, trisodium ethylenediamine disuccinate, ethoxydiglycol, leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, ethylhexylglycerin, caprylyl glycol, phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin
Pore Control:
aqua (water), niacinamide, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, pseudoalteromonas ferment extract, cyclohexasiloxane, glycerin, butylene glycol, vinyl dimethicone/methicone silsesquioxane crosspolymer, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, fomes officinalis (mushroom) extract, pistacia lentiscus (mastic) gum, allantoin, lecithin, citric acid, sodium salicylate, acrylamide/sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer, peg-10 dimethicone, laureth-9, carbomer, acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, isohexadecane, cyclopentasiloxane, polysorbate 80, triethanolamine, trisodium ethylenediamine disuccinate, alcohol, sodium benzoate, phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin.
Sensitive Fix:
Aqua (Water), Saccharide Isomerate, Butylene Glycol, Mirabilis Jalapa Extract, Curculigo Orchioides Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum, Lactobacillus/Eriodictyon Californicum Ferment Extract, Phospholipids, Propanediol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Polysorbate 20, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol.
C25:
Propanediol, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid, Phenylethyl Resorcinol.
Also, I saw that Biossance’s Phyto-Retinol Serum was listed as not safe as of Jan 2019 because the bakuchiol is being treated like traditional retinoids. Are there any new studies on bakuchiol or any new information regarding it’s use during pregnancy?
Thanks so much in advance!
SubQ Skin has salicylic acid. It’s ok for nursing but not pregnancy
Pore control has a neuro peptide that I’m not sure about (dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate). It’s the kind of thing that absorbs into the skin (so likely does get into your bloodstream) and affects muscles and nerves (a topical botox effect). I would personally avoid that while pregnant/nursing, but there’s no safety data either way.
Sensitive Fix and C25 both look ok
I don’t have any more info on Bakuchiol unfortunately, but even more brands are calling it a “natural retinoid” and saying it works the same way, so I’m still recommending avoidance.
I hope that helps!

Thank you!
Are these ingredients propanediol, cellulose gum, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin all preservatives that are not the best in skincare?
They’re all considered safe and not all used as preservatives. Ethylhexyl glycerin for example is mostly a skin conditioner.

Etude House is included in the list above.
Unfortunately I’m at the mercy of online ingredient lists, and sometimes listings are updated. I actually screened the Missha products using the brand’s website (not Soko Glam), but it is listed on Soko Glam’s website. I’ll update the Missha post, thanks! That should be ok for nursing but not pregnancy.

Hello!
I just realized that the face wash I have been using has salicylic acid in it. The brand is Biotherm. I have also read that it is still okay to use products with salicylic acid and that it’s more dangerous if it’s ingested. Also it was probably the 10th ingredient listed on the bottle so im wondering if I am still okay
Salicylic Acid is one of those ingredients that some physicians consider ok and some do not. It is a salicylate and has the potential for effects similar to aspirin. We don’t recognize a gradient of risk in pregnancy in the US. So, if there’s a risk, no matter how small, we recommend complete avoidance if possible. there are periods of pregnancy in which exposures would have much worse consequences than others, but we recommend avoiding the entire pregnancy, etc. I’m on the conservative side of my recommendation. I have my thoughts about what if you’ve been using a “bad” product in my pregnancy beauty FAQ, but I would personally change to a different face wash.
Hi. I went to the Elemis page but couldn’t find this product and was wandering if it’s safe to use.

Hi doctor Christine. Thank you for all the information on your website. I was wondering whether the following product is safe – the Lancome Eau Micellaire Doucheur. Ingredients:
-water
– alcohol denat
– propanediol
– hexylene glycol
– glycerine
– poloxamer 184
– dihydrocholeth 30
– disodium cocoamphodiacetate
– disodium edta
– rosa gallica extract
– parfum
-(f.i.l. B50000/2) – not sure this is an ingredient – but it is listed in the same section at the end in brackets
that looks fine to me
Hmmm… What about Too Faced? The products are natural, but I don’t want to assume.
I haven’t gotten to that brand yet, sorry.
Hello!

Thank you so much!
#1 has a salicylate
#2 has licorice root
I would avoid these during pregnancy, but ok for nursing
Thank you so much!
and sorry for posting in the wrong place. 🙂
🙂 I just try to get people to post in various areas because then sometimes people find their answers (and don’t need to wait for me) or it makes other readers with the same question more likely to find their answer too 🙂 Thanks!
Chanel, Trish McEvoy, Givenchy and Tom Ford were all not listed and those are my go to brands. Are they all not safe?
No, in large part they’re not listed yet because I haven’t gotten to them yet.
Reviewing a brand’s products is very time intensive, and since I want my effort to be high yield for my readers, I tend to go toward brands that have been requested. Trish McEvoy and Givenchy have never been requested. Tom Ford I’ve only had a few requests to check lipstick ingredients.
Chanel is frequently requested, but as the brand doesn’t list ingredients on their US website and they are less than helpful when I email to request the lists (meaning, customer service has been down right rude, my PR contact left years ago so I don’t have anyone I can email in that division), I can not comment on Chanel’s safety. They do have ingredients listed on their UK site, but I and the majority of my readers are in the US (and the UK site redirects me quickly to the US site anyways, so I can’t even use those lists even if I knew they were the same).
I do have Tom Ford underway, and that will be published soon.
Chanel’s ingredients are listed fully on the box. I’d be happy to email them to you. The main ingredient I’m concerned with is licorice root extract and their proprietary planifolia PFA. They promote all their products to their representatives as being pregnancy safe and I know they do not use any salicylic or glycolic acids or Retinols but I do know they use licorice root extract.
Yes, they’re on the box, but I do not have time in my life to spend hours at the Chanel counter looking at every product. I’m sorry, I just can’t. In addition, I don’t think any sales associates would be very happy with me taking over their counter for hours. I review ingredients here and there when I have time in my life, which usually is after my kids are in bed. I don’t think you realize the logistics of what your statement is insinuating I am too lazy to do involves.
Licorice root is ok for nursing but not pregnancy. Planifolia PFA is a trade name, I haven’t been able to find out much beyond that. They do use chemical sunscreens in a large number of their products, including those with SPF listed (they use them as UV stabilizers to extend shelf life).
HI!
The sales rep told me this what okay to use while nursing, would you agree? I’m reading conflicting things on the internet.

Ok for nursing, I would avoid during pregnancy due to the licorice root
Hi there, just wondering if you have looked at any O Cosmedics products? In particular the Eye Correct. Thank you
Ingredients
V8 Peptide Complex®
Eyeseryl®
Niacinamide
Snap-8
Venuceane&trade
Sodium Hyluronate
Lipolight®
Tocopherol
This isn’t a full ingredient list, each chemical needs to be spelled out by name, instead they have trademarked names. I’m sorry, I can’t comment on this list.
I’ve never heard of that brand. Do you have an ingredient list?
Hi!
Thank you for putting together these comprehensive lists! I’m so impressed and grateful for you’re work, wish I’d read this during my first pregnancy. I was just wondering if everything from Chanel is bad as it’s not on your list? I guess this just really surprised me!
xxx
In the US Chanel refuses to release their ingredient lists to me. The UK site DOES have ingredients listed, but as I am in the US I get booted off of their site (and often ingredients vary between the 2 regions, about 90% of my readers are in the US so I’m not sure that the UK ingredients would be helpful anyways). I’ve contacted them several times to ask for lists and they have been less than helpful.
In general, Chanel includes chemical sunscreens in most of their face products such as foundations and the CC cream. They’re my every day favorites, but I wouldn’t recommend using them while pregnant.
Hi Dr., your website is a lifesaver, thank you so much for all your hard work!
I couldn’t find Jurlique or Lose products in the pregnancy/nursing safe skinecare page – can you please tell me if these are safe for nursing?

I recommend avoiding all sunless tanners during pregnancy. This also has salicylic acid.
Also wondering if you have any updates on pregnancy safe deodorant. I seen your new post about the body wash and see you mentioned deodorant.
I am working on that post now and the list is already HUGE! I’m likely going overboard! I’m trying to go through the most common drugstore brands like Secret and Dove, but I’ve also already gone through all of the products on Sephora and want to add in Nordstrom’s products. Which brand is your favorite? I’m hoping to finish the post this week!
I don’t really have a favorite. I am currently using Degree. But also like Dove. I see that Dove has an aluminum free deodorant but idk much about the other ingredients in it. I look forward to your post! Thank you!
I’ll check out Degree as well. The aluminum was found in subsequent studies to not really be an issue at all, so it’s considered safe currently. I’ll keep working on the post!
Wondering if these are pregnancy safe. Thank you for your time and effort!

Hello – BIG fan of your blog and appreciate all the work and research you do! It is super helpful and informative and I cant thank you enough!

Such great information you’re providing! I had no idea before coming across this page.
I’ve been working on that one!
Hi Doctor! I was wondering if you could help me check if this product is safe to use for pregnancy?

Dear Dr. C,
I would be very grateful if you could review the ingredients in my regular deodorant/anti-perspirant as well as my shaving cream for safety in pregnancy. I realize you wear a multitude of hats as a doctor, blogger, mother…. and am therefore all the more appreciative of your efforts!
1. Secret clear gel Antiperspirant/deodorant in vava vanilla flavor
Active ingredient : Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex Gly 16%( anhydrous) – antiperspirant
Inactive ingredients:
-Water
-Alcohol denatured
-Cyclopentasiloxane
-Propylene Glycol
-Dimethicone
-Calcium chloride
-PEG/PPG-18/18 dimethicone,
-Fragrance
Is the aluminum salt of concern, as I find very conflicting information on the internet?
2. Gillette Satin Care Ultra Sensitive Ultra Sensible Shave Gel
Ingredients:
-Water/Eau
-Palmitic acid
-Triethonalamine
-Isopentane
-Glyceryl oleate
-Stearic acid
-Isobutane
-Sorbitol
-Hydroxyethylcellulose
-PEG-90M
-PEG-23M
-BHT
-Lavandula Augustifolia (lavender) oil
-Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf oil
I am concerned about the safety of the essential oils in this formulation in particular.
Thank you again for your time!
Both of these are fine. Note, my giant post on pregnancy safe deodorants will be coming out sometime this week. The aluminum isn’t a concern. It potentially was in initial studies years ago, but subsequent studies found the initial concerns didn’t hold up basically. Somehow the internet only talks about the first few (not as well done and smaller) studies, and not the follow ups.
There’s discussion on essential oils in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Thank you once more for your prompt response and for specifically addressing my concerns. I am most certainly looking forward to reading your exhaustive review of deodorants in pregnancy! I have visited (and will re-visit) your page on “Skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy” and will make sure to use that list when picking my products. As a research scientist myself, I understand and appreciate the painstaking research and exhaustive time spent behind your posts. Please keep up your great humanitarian project helping out pregnant women navigate all of these confusing and sometimes dangerous chemicals! Thank you again.
Hi Doctor,

Hello Christine! Thank you, thank you! You’ve already steered me clear of a few nonsafe products. I’m curious about a couple of products. Thanks in advance!

Lash Boost and most other lash serums have a prostaglandin analogue that you need to avoid during pregnancy. I would recommend getting this one instead.
Bleach is ok, and #2 looks fine.
I use this as a body oil. Can I still use it?

Sorry, this has a chemical sunscreen that I would avoid during pregnancy.
Would it be okay for nursing?
Thank you for the quick response. You are amazing.
Sorry, I usually say that and I blanked and didn’t 🙂 It’s fine for nursing!
Hello! I’m hoping you can help me. I know you have an article dedicated to moisturizers with SPF for pregnancy, however I’m still having a hard time finding one on that list that would work for me. I used Elta MD, but had to stop due to chemical sunscreens. Same with Cerave AM. I tried the Aveeno, made me oily. I’m just wondering what would be your top recommendation for a moisturizer for sensitive skin while pregnant? I switched to clinique gel and it made me break out. 🙁 The moisturizer doesn’t need to have sunscreen. I would like it, but at this point I just need something that is clean, safe for sensitive skin and won’t make me break out. Thank you!!
I would recommend trying to use a separate sunscreen and daily moisturizer. I searched high and low, and the number of pregnancy safe SPF moisturizers was super low! You’ll have a much bigger selection with a regular moisturizer and add a sunscreen over the top. Do you have one you like already? I have a whole list of clean by sephora pregnancy safe products too!
Ok thanks for the recommendations! I’ll look into the Sephora products. Currently searching for a daily moisturizer. I’ve been jumping around so much trying to find one that works for me (aveeno, olay, Clinique didn’t work) I’ve found that clean, sensitive safe products work best for me. Currently doing the Cerave PM in the morning because I love it and have used it for years. Not sure if it really matters that I use it in the morning too?! Ha! I’ll have to find a separate sunscreen and moisturizer for daily use. The struggle is real :D.
It doesn’t matter, and I confess I have 2 bottles of Cerave PM lotion on my vanity. 2! And I frequently reach for that in the morning if I want something not too heavy. If it is working, I say go with it.

Hi,
I am wondering about aveda brilliant damage control styling spray. I usually use it pre blow drying my hair to protect it from the heat. I have listed ingredients below. If it is not safe do you recommend one that is? Thank you SO much.
Ingredients: Aqueous (Water\Aqua\Eau) Extracts\Extraits Aqueux:Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract , Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice , Polyquaternium-16 , Polyquaternium-10 , Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein , Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch , Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate , PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil , Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil , Oryzanol , Tocopherol , Panthenol , PVP , Maltodextrin , Caprylyl Glycol , Sodium Gluconate , Fragrance (Parfum) , Geraniol , Linalool , Benzyl Benzoate , Citronellol , Eugenol , Hydroxycitronellal , Limonene , Amyl Cinnamal , Farnesol , Phenoxyethanol
The only hair product you need to worry about is if you have a scalp treatment product that stays on for a while, or a shampoo that does. Your hair can’t absorb anything, so you don’t need to worry about a styling spry.
Hi Christine! I would just like to express my deep gratitude for your work <3 I recently found out that I am pregnant (friends and family don't even know yet) and I have found it quite time-consuming to figure out the DO's and DONT's during pregnancy.

Hi Dr. Christine! your website is a lifesaver, thank you so much for all your hard work!
I was wondering if you could help me check if this product is safe to use for both pregnancy and nursing? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Can I use klorane dry shampoo with oat milk? A little worried cause heard aersol sprays not ok. Do you recommend any other dry shampoos if it is not ok?
Thanks so so much. Ingredients below.
Butane, Propane, Isobutane, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, SD Alcohol 39-C (Alcohol Denat.), Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil, Benzyl Salicylate, Cetrimonium Chloride, Cyclodextrin, Cyclohexasiloxane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Fragrance, Hexyl Cinnamal Isopropyl Myristate, Limonene, Silica.

Thanks so much for this terrific resource!
I see you have some Pacifica products reviewed, but doesn’t look like the entire brand has been reviewed yet. I hope I’m not missing this somewhere.
In the meantime, I love using their Coconut Micellar Water Cleansing Tonic. They had an old formulation that was “glycolic acid infused”, but now it looks like it’s been removed (I think). Does this ingredient list look OK?
https://www.pacificabeauty.com/products/coconut-water-micellar-cleansing-tonic
aqua (purified), sorbitan oleate decylglucoside crosspolymer, decyl glucoside, glycerin, cocos nucifera (coconut) water, calendula officinalis (flower) extract, citrus grandis (grapefruit) fruit water, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, parfum (natural).
Looks pregnancy safe to me, they must be referring to one of the fruit waters? Glycolic acid does naturally occur in a lot of fruits, but we ignore it in that context.
Thanks so much! Looking at their suite of micellar waters, it looks like the Kale Water now had glycolic acid added instead of the Coconut Water 🙂
Yeah, and it looks like it is in the actual ingredients list. I’d avoid that one while pregnant
Hello! I bought a number of Christina Moss products. I tried to cross check many of these ingredients myself and they seem ok but all of the ‘oils’ throw me off. Can you please review these for me to be sure? Thank you so much.

Thank you so very much. You’ve taught me to be conscious of ingredients, something that I’ve never bothered to look at before. I’m so grateful for you.
Exactly! I would be ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to the chemical sunscreen 🙂
Hi, i’m not sure where to put this question but how about devices? Face massager with ionic functions? Is it safe? Or do we stick with face massagers that only oscillates and vibrates?
I’ve been told no ionic or electrical stuff, just the oscillating and vibrating. No evidence of issues, just always worry.

I would avoid the first product due to the Hemp.
Here’s my little blurb on Hemp/CBD:
There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.
The cleansing oil looks ok for pregnancy to me

I can’t see anything offensive, but I’m not a pro… thanks in advance!

3. MIG face lotion bar:
Ingredients: flaxseed oil, pomegranate oil, pumpkin, meadowfoam, carrot seed oil, camellia oil, hemp seed oil, raspberry seed oil, grapeseed, Farmfresh beeswax, arnica, rosehip, the following are freshly infused and some wildcrafted: calendula, nettles, moringa leaf, calendula, horsetail, dandelion, essential oils of lavender, frankincense, Bulgarian rose, Sicilian lemon & rose geranium, neem, tamanu, prickly pear, ferulic acid (antioxidant extracted from fruits and seeds)
#1 and #2 are ok
#3 has Neem and Hemp which should be avoided during pregnancy. The neem is ok for nursing, but we don’t really know about nursing for the hemp. Here’s my CBD and Hemp disclaimer, it’s up to you:
There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.
Thank you for your guidance! Much appreciated!

Thank you so much for your quick reply! 🙂
It’s interesting – Beautypedia pans this oil because of the eucalyptus and says it’s irritating but I don’t find that to be the case at all.. feels very soothing and soft, with only a mild tingling at the outset. It’s also an Allure Best of Beauty winner, for whatever it’s worth. I’d recommend.. it only costs a few bucks, so wouldn’t break the bank if it doesn’t work out. 🙂
Eucalyptus is one of those ingredients that people frequently can’t tolerate. I’m ok with it though, I’m adding it to my cart 🙂 Thanks!
I used these throughout my whole pregnancy and am now 6 months and didn’t realize theres so many harmful ingredients in makeup! Thanks for your post you’ve opened my eyes! Please let me know if these are safe as these were not mentioned anywhere that I could find in your lists. Thank you SO SO SO much!

Hello Doctor,
Can someone who is trying to conceive take oral skin care?
Orbis defencera
Ingredients:
MALTITOL, YUZU JUICE POWDER (CITRUS JUNOS), RICE GERM EXTRACT (ORYZA SATIVA), CYCLODEXTRIN, CITRIC ACID, FLAVOUR
Thank you
I don’t comment on anything taken by mouth, you’ll need to talk to your physician about it. Keep in mind that there is very little evidence that these supplements offer actual skin benefits.
Hi Doc! I would like to ask if this Holika Holika Aloe Soothing Essence Sun Gel has chemical sunscreen on it?

Yes, it has a couple (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Homosalate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate) as well as a salicylate. It isn’t pregnancy safe but should be ok for nursing.
Hello Doctor,
I am interested if the following sunscreen is safe for pregnancy/nursing:
Galderma Actinica Lotion
Ingredients: Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Isoamyl P-Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Propylparaben, Methylparaben
Thank you!
Sorry, this has chemical sunscreens. I would definitely avoid it while pregnant. Ok for nursing with this list, though I think it might not be the actual full ingredient list as it only has sunscreens and a few preservatives, usually there needs to be other ingredients in there too.
That’s all I found as ingredients. Thank you so very much!
Hi Dr – Can you please review Kora Organics’ Turmeric Brightening and Exfoliating Mask? Thank you!

Hi Doctor,
My dermatologist recommended I use Ducray’s Melascreen SPF50+UVA rich cream during my pregnancy (I live in a tropical country), and I used it once a day throughout the second trimester before discovering that chemical sunscreens were a big no-no. I stopped using it immediately.
I’m a bit frightened of the damage I could have inflicted on my child, and was just wondering if you had any advice – is there something I should look out for at birth, some kind of remedy that would help…?
Here are the ingredients listed in the product:
WATER (AQUA), C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE, METHYLENE BIS-BENZOTRIAZOLYL TETRAMETHYLBUTYLPHENOL [NANO], DIISOPROPYL ADIPATE, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRACAPRYLATE/TETRACAPRATE, DICAPRYLYL CARBONATE, BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE, DIETHYLHEXYL BUTAMIDO TRIAZONE, ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHANE, POTASSIUM CETYL PHOSPHATE, DECYL GLUCOSIDE, BIS-ETHYLHEXYL HYDROXYDIMETHOXY BENZYLMALONATE, C10-18 TRIGLYCERIDES, GLYCERYL STEARATE, PEG-100 STEARATE, VP/EICOSENE COPOLYMER, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, BENZOIC ACID, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, DISODIUM EDTA, GLYCERYL BEHENATE, GLYCERYL DIBEHENATE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, TOCOPHEROL, TRIBEHENIN, XANTHAN GUM
Thank you so much for your time (and for this website!)
Please read my Pregnancy Beauty FAQ, there’s info there regarding when you’ve been using a product that is unsafe. Typically there’s no issue, but chemical sunscreens specifically have been implicated with Hirschsprung’s. No remedies to help, just try not to worry and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

PS – Costco sells the Chanel Sublimage creams for like $100 less 🙂
This looks fine (and spelled correctly) to me! 🙂
COSTCO?? I’m going to check online now. I doubt my store has it, Costco in Michigan seems very different from the Costco I belonged to when I lived in Southern California. If they have it I’m buying for sure, thank you for the tip!!
Costco online has it! I told my Bloomingdales salesperson and they are willing to price match it!

Hi Dr Christine, can you check if below is good for pregnancy and nursing?
Are these natural preservatives completely safe to use and is propanediol okay to use during pregnancy and nursing? Have you heard of “NataPres” natural preservative? Is this a better replacement for phenoxyethanol? Thanks
Belly serum
Aqua, colloidal oatmeal, propanediol, sodium hyaluronate (1 million daltons), hydrolyzed cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) seed ale extract, aloe barbadensis (Vera) leaf juice, matricaria recutita (chamomile) flower extract, camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract, please europaea (olive) leaf extract, cellulose gum, citrus airantium dulcis (orange) oil, leuconostoc/ radish root ferment filtrate and lonicera japonica (honeysuckle) flower extract, lonicera caprifolium (honeysuckle) extract, populus tremuloides bark extract, gluconolactone, potassium sorbate.
Those ingredients you mentioned are fine
skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
This particular product I would avoid during pregnancy due to the gluconolactone, which is a polyhydroxyacid. Should be ok for nursing.
Hi Doctor! Could you please check this product if it is safe to use during pregnancy?
Timeless B5 Hydration Serum

Looks ok to me
Hi Chris
Could you kindly see if the following sunscreen is safe for pregnancy and nursing?
My only concern is the following statement on their website: Our formula also contains chamellia oil rich in oleic acid and vitamin A, B and E.
Is the vitamin A in this sunscreen concern?
Wotnot SPF 30 anti-aging facial sunscreen
Active ingredient: zinc oxide 250mg/g
Other ingredients:Purified water, certified organic aloe vera leaf juice, diisopropyl adipate, coco caprylate, glycerin, jojoba oil, galactoarabinan, camellia oil, vitamin e, vp/eicosene copolymer, silica, polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate, polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate, polyhydroxystearic acid, Sorbitan Olivate, xanthan gum, green tea extract, iron oxide, epsom salt, cetyl palmitate, sorbitan palmitate, 1,2-dihydroxyoctane, octanohydroxamic acid, natural fragrance
I don’t see Vitamin A listed in a retinoid form in this product, which means it is fine. In extracts or beta carotene form the Vitamin A is considered safe. This product looks fine to me.
Could you please review this foundation? I have been using it while I have been pregnant and am especially concerned because I just saw it is labeled as having “anti-aging” ingredients. Are all the ingredients including the seaweed extracts safe? I am concerned about the seaweed having dangerously high levels of Vitamin A and potential mercury/contaminants in them. Thank you so much!

#1 has Salicylic Acid, ok for nursing but not pregnancy
All the rest are ok for pregnancy and nursing
Thank you!
I believe I was mistaken about the Environ Colostrum Gel ingredients (so sorry, the website I got them from was totally inaccurate, the following are right off the bottle)
Aqua (Water), Colostrum, Pentylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Glycerin, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Cimicfuga Racemosa Root Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hydroxide, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Hydroxypropyl Guar, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Epigallocatechin Gallate, Disodium EDTA, Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Maltodextrin, Tocopherol, Linalool, Limonene.
It reads that it does not actually contain Ethoxydiglycol, Salicylic Acid, Dehydroacetic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzoic Acid and Benzethonium Chloride.
This still looks ok. I know the feeling re: being at the mercy of online ingredient lists!
Thank you for work on all of this! Very grateful!

#1 has a cell extract that I’m not sure if that’s stem cells or not? More info on my concerns in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
I don’t see other issues with #1, so that one is up to you.
#2 and #3 both have retinoids (#3 also has tartaric acid), so I wouldn’t use either while pregnant, depending on how conservative you are you might want to avoid it while nursing as well
Thank you so much!! I’m very conservative so I will not use these products!
Hi, your page has been so helpful and ease some of my concerns, yet I got a foundation that is not listed and hope you would kindly review it. Thanks.

Hi,
Can you review the ingredients of this facial cleanser if it is safe for pregnancy.
Thanks heaps!

This has hemp in it, which I give this disclaimer:
There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.
Safety for pregnancy or nursing is up to your comfort level. I don’t have any other concerns.
Thank you so much for creating this site! I’m a skincare and makeup junkie so this is incredible. Could you let me know if you think the SkinBetter Science alto defense serum is safe? The ingredient list is kind of long sorry!! Thank you for your time!

Wondering if you have done any research on pregnancy safe toothpaste? I use sensodyne currently. Also any advice on perfumes?
Thanks
I don’t review toothpastes or dental products at all.
Perfumes very frequently have salicylates (which should be avoided while pregnant) but I just switched to spraying them over my clothes instead of directly on my skin.
Hi Doctor,
I am new to your blog and just started reading up on all the articles on pregnancy safe skincare and make up products. I just subscribed to your newsletter.
Can you please tell me if these products and their respective listed ingredients are pregnancy safe? I am sorry if you have already covered or answered for any of these products and I missed out on reading them.

You don’t need to worry about most hair products, only the ones that you apply directly to your scalp. So I wouldn’t worry about the conditioner at all. #2 has licorice root and a salicylate which I would avoid while pregnant, but it is ok for nursing.

I don’t have any other comments pending, but sometimes my spam filters weed things out if they are very long comments.
I would avoid the neem & turmeric bar soap while pregnant due to the neem
Here’s my disclaimer about hemp/CBD products:
There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.
The other products all look ok to me

Hi! What are your thoughts on dry shampoo during pregnancy?
BATISTE TROPICAL
Butane, Isobutane, Propane, Oryza sativa starch, Alcohol denat., Parfum (Fragrance), Coumarin, Distearyldimonium chloride, Cetrimonium chloride
And, what about hairspray? This is the one I use:
REDKEN CONTROL ADDICT

Thank you!!!
Most dry shampoo isn’t on the scalp, it’s actually on your hair, and you don’t really need to worry about it too much (if at all, my OB told me not to worry about hair products, using this logic I wouldn’t worry about your hair spray at all). Personally, I did use dry shampoo during pregnancy, I just sprayed it on my hair and didn’t aim for my scalp. I also held my breath and then stepped out of that area before taking another breath. The Batiste ingredient list doesn’t have any ingredients I would worry about otherwise. I hope that makes sense!
Hi! First off THANK YOU! I never knew skincare and makeup could be so harmful to the baby and you have made it so easy to ensure that what we use is safe. I want to try this new line but want to make sure its okay:

Dr. Dennis Gross is an increasingly popular skincare brand! I assume this product is not safe for pregnancy because of the salicylic acid:
https://drdennisgross.com/extra-strength-alpha-beta-daily-peel.html
I have dr gross about ready to publish, but none of the peels are pregnancy safe usually due to Salicylic acid, but also tartartic, malic and glycolic are in many of them in some combination
Are you able to add Goop products to your list? Thank you!
They’re already on my to do list

Hi,
Thank you so much for all of the thoroughly researched and helpful information you have put together in one place.
I would like to know about a product before using it. I see that you say products for the hair only (not scalp) are generally considered safe. But, I want to double check since it is a root concealer and not by a major brand.
It’s called, Everpro Gray Away stick. It’s a concealer stick to be used on grey hair roots (not a scalp treatment). Thank you very much for your time and care to help.

This is safe! I’ve used it and liked it too 🙂

Thank you in advance!
I’d avoid the first cleanser due to the stem cells (more info in here skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy), and the 2nd one is safe for pregnancy and nursing
Thank you! And than you for the link!
Hi. Apparently the ingredients I pasted was not a full list. The below list is from the company’s website. I copied and pasted the ingredients off another site unaware they’re weren’t identical. Please review the updated list for Desert Essence. Ingredients (INCI): Castille Soap (Water (Aqua), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Tall Oil, Potassium Hydroxide), Glycerin, Eco-Harvest® Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Hydrastis Canadensis (GoldenSeal) Root Extract, Hedychium Coronarium Root Extract (Awapuhi), Fucus Vesiculosus Extract (Bladderwrack), Cymbopogon Martini Oil (Palmarosa), Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Peel Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Oil , Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil, Callitris Introtropica Wood Oil (Blue Cypress).
I apologize. Lesson learned.
Looks ok 🙂
Hello again!
So I was in Whole Foods about to purchase Desert Essence when I ran across Avalon Organics and thought “that looks interesting!” Can you review their
1) Intense Defense Vitamin C Cleansing Gel
https://www.avalonorganics.com/en/products/skin-care/cleanser/intense-defense-cleansing-gel/
and
2) Intense Defense Vitamin C Cleansing Milk
https://www.avalonorganics.com/en/products/skin-care/cleanser/intense-defense-cleansing-milk/
If they are both OK, can you recommend one of the 3 either Desert Essence, the Cleansing Gel, or the Cleansing Milk for combination acne prone skin with blemishes because I will literally stand in the aisle for 30 minutes thinking about which one to get!
BTW. This is like the 5th time I have made this post. For some reason, it always says “waiting for moderation” everytime I submit it then when I come back the next day to see if you answered, I can’t find it and have to repost it. I tried clearing my cache and I only provided the weblink thinking maybe the listed ingredients was causing the post to malfunction. Idk.
Thank you in advance.
Awaiting moderation is because I have to moderate the post. I have answered your question already, both on the site as well as answering the email you sent me, but note I work full time as a doctor, I only have time to answer questions once a day. I’m not sitting here waiting on pins and needles for comments to come through. Going through a list can take over 20 minutes, and many comments (including yours) have many more ingredients. This means you need to be patient and understanding. I’m sorry. I didn’t have time to answer for 2 days this week, but I did answer over 50 comments last night, there were NONE left. And this is after I answered your comment via email, which was the exact same as all of the comments you left here on the site.
My answer is the same, these products are fine. I would go for #1 with acne. Please try to be understanding that I have a job, a family and I need to sleep. I have answered you multiple times and this comment comes across as very rude.
Hi doctor,

There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.
Thank you so much for your quick response! If you have a chance, would you please advise on these masks?

I noticed in the comments on the pregnancy safe body wash section that you had said not to use BioOil during pregnancy. I’m wondering if you have any suggestions on safe oil or creams for stretch mark prevention that are safe to use during pregnancy. I’ve looked through the beauty brands list and haven’t noticed any there, for example I know that Burts Bees makes a lotion and oil. Thank you so much for your help!
There aren’t any conclusive studies that show any oil or cream is superior to another (including Palmer’s products, there was a study specifically with that brand). BioOil isn’t safe during pregnancy due to retinoids. Dermatologists usually recommend just a cream or lotion that you like massaged into the skin. So, just pick one that is safe 🙂

Hi there, thank you for creating such great and helpful content! Are you planning on reviewing the brand biologique recherche? I know its not a widely used brand and it is French but I am curious as to what your thoughts are about their ingredients during pregnancy?
I am! It’s on my to-do list and I’ve even started working on it, but I’m having a hard time finding a good source of all the ingredients. I need to look around a lot for each list, which is annoying and time consuming.
Hello
I was wondering about
“Peace out”-Microneedling dark spot brightening dots.
I am currently breastfeeding. Thank you for your time.
Ingredients
-Niacinamide: A form of vitamin B that helps even out the skin tone.
-Licorice Extract: A natural botanical that helps give skin a brighter look.
-Tranexamic Acid: An amino acid derivative that lightens the appearance of dark spots.
Water, Sodium Hyaluronate, Cellulose Gum, Trehalose, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Propanediol, Arbutin, Tranexamic Acid, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexandiol.
I would use this while nursing, but not while pregnant due to the licorice root.
Can you please review the ingredients for this product? Thank you in advance

This polish remover is fine. You don’t really need to worry about polish, it’s a similar thought to the hair products. Hair and nails are basically dead proteins and they can’t absorb anything, so you don’t need to worry about them.
Hi, I found this product at Sephora Chicago and I would like to know if is it safe to use.
Name: Laura Mercier – tinted moisturizer natural skin perfector

I can’t comment on an entire brand like that, it’s dependent upon each product. If you have ingredients for the specific products you’re interested in.
