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.

Hi there,
First of all, a huge THANK YOU for putting together this guide! It is hugely helpful and fills a big gap – I haven’t found anything remotely like it. And it’s great to see so many brands I use included!
I wanted to ask about the Nécessaire body products (body wash, exfoliation, lotion) and if you might be able to review.
Thank you and look forward to hearing from you!

I think you’re missing a large part of the ingredient list here. It appears to be cut off mid-ingredient at the end? And I’m not sure if the stem cells are in the Crithmum Maritimum Callus Culture filtrate or not (usually stem cells say cells in there, this is something different). Regardless, I recommend avoiding stem cells while pregnant: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

This is one of those face creams with the neuropeptides, which they say penetrate into your skin and do things to the muscles to make your face look smoother. If it can go there, it can definitely get into your blood stream and go systemic. I have no idea what that could possibly do while pregnant, so I’d leave that up to you. I don’t see other ingredients of concerns, but the neuropeptide ingredient (Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate) makes me a bit nervous.
Thank you! What are your thoughts on the neuropeptide ingredient for nursing?
I’d likely avoid it for that as well
Thanks so much for your advice!

Hi Doc, Thank you so much for all the information and advice you offer 🙂
Can you tell if i can use the below hair mask during pregnancy.
OLAPLEX
Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3
Ingredients:
-Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate.
Water, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, Propylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Cetyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Glycerin, Hydroxyethyl Ethylcellulose, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Quaternium-91, Sodium Benzoate, Cetrimonium Methosulfate, Cetrimonium Chloride, Fragrance, Polyquaternium-37, Tetrasodium EDTA, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Etidronic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Phytantriol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Panthenol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate.
It’s fine, but you don’t need to worry about most hair masks as they go on the hair shaft, not your scalp. Olaplex restores bonds in the hair, it won’t do anything for your scalp.
thank you so much !!!

Finally, do you think pure Argan oil is safe to use while pregnant and nursing?
The Dr. Bronner’s has hemp, so it’s up to you. here’s my hemp 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.
The Conditioner is fine, though note you really don’t need to worry about conditioners as they only go on your hair, which can’t absorb anythinng.
The cleansing towelettes are ok for pregnancy and nursing.
I think pure argan oil is fine for pregnancy and nursing
Thank you so much!!!
Hi,
Can you please review Ursa Major products for use during pregnancy.

Also I read where you said most brow products are fine, I was curious if this was ok since it stains the skin for 3 days?! Thank you so much!
Urban Decay Inked Brow-Taupe: Isododecane, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Nylon-611/Dimethicone Copolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Lauroyl Lysine, Propylene Carbonate, C30-45 Alkyldimethylsilyl Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Silica, Aluminum Hydroxide, Tin Oxide.

Hello!
Thank you for this amazing website.
I was wondering about glamnetic magnetic lashes while pregnant. To use, they require a magnetic eyeliner.
Ingredients for liner:
CI 77499 (Iron Oxide), water, Dimethicone, Acrylates/octylacrylamide copolymer, Propylene glycol, Butylene Glycol, PVP, Steareth-21, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, BHT, Chlorphenesin, fragrance, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate.
Here is the website where they provide more information on the ingredients of this product. https://glamnetic.com/pages/faq
This is the statement they have under “is it safe?” :
“Yes, all our products have been tested for safety. Our eyeliner has the same types of ingredients you might see in other liners or mascara. What makes our liner magnetic is our iron oxide ingredient. There are no heavy metals or parabens in our formula. Iron oxide is a cosmetic ingredient commonly used for pigment and is rated as non-toxic according to EWG’s skin deep profile. Of course, as with any eye cosmetic products, if you have any pre-existing eye conditions, consult your doctor. For a break down of all our ingredients, please visit our FAQ ingredients section.”
Thank you so much!!
I agree with them, it’s ok!

Snail secretion is on my list of things to avoid in pregnancy: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
So none of these will be safe in pregnancy. The serum also has willow bark and the toner has arbutin and licorice root (so that one can’t be used in nursing)
Hi, Your website has been invaluable to my wife and I. Our newborn is beyond healthy and we feel very grateful and lucky. We cut out EVERYthing listed in your ingredients to avoid – not an easy feat since many ‘pregnancy branded’ products shockingly contain many of the items that should be avoided. I will never ignore an ingredients list again.
My question is about: Salicylate. That is also contained in aspirin which is prescribed to take in small amounts for many pregnant women, yet it needs to be avoided in products used on the skin. How can this be? Are they different versions of the same thing and the aspirin one is safe to take orally? I asked our Dr and their answer was not satisfying. I feel they didn’t actually know, so I wanted to ask you. Thank you if you are able to answer this question.
It’s actually to be AVOIDED in pregnancy in the US, certainly not “by many women”. We use it very judiciously for certain things in pregnancy (pre-eclampsia and certain hypercoagulable disorders), but it and other prostaglandin analogues are used for things like closing the ductus arteriosus after birth, that’s one of many reasons to avoid it during pregnancy. The salicylates are to be avoided in pregnancy due to the risk of this.

The first 2 are ok for pregnancy and nursing
The sunscreen has a salicylate, so ok for nursing but not pregnancy
Hi! I’m almost 8 weeks pregnant and have been intrigued by the “Truly” skin care line at Ulta. I have searched for it on your list of brands you have reviewed but I’m unable to find that particular brand. Could ya help me out?
I haven’t reviewed that brand yet, it’s still on my to do list.
Is Clean & Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Gel (Face Moisturizer with Cucumber & Green Mango Extract, Oil-Free Daily Facial Moisturizer for Acne-Prone Skin Care, Non-Greasy & Non-Comedogenic, 3 oz) okay to use while pregnant and/or nursing?
Here are the active ingredients listed: “ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Water; Dimethicone; Glycerin; Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer; Polyacrylamide; Cetearyl Olivate; Phenoxyethanol; Dimethiconol; Sorbitan Olivate; C13-14 Isoparaffin; Fragrance; Dimethicone Crosspolymer; Carbomer; Laureth-7; Methylparaben; Propylene Glycol; C12-14 Pareth-12; Propylparaben; Ethylparaben; Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract; Mangifera Indica (Mango) Fruit Extract; Sodium Hydroxide; Green 5; Blue 1; Yellow 5.”
Also, is the following okay:

Ingredients are listed on Amazon but in photo format.
Thank you so much for your help! I love your site!
I can’t review the second cleanser without an ingredient list.
The first product looks ok to me for pregnancy and nursing if those are all of the ingredients. Clean and Clear sometimes separates out the drug ingredients, and that’s often salicylic acid, which you need to avoid in pregnancy. Look around on the bottle to be sure it isn’t there
here are the listed ingredients for product 2: ALOE VERA GEL, STEARIC ACID, HYDROGENATED POLYISOBUTANE, SHEA BUTTER, DIMETHICONE COPOLYOL, HERB EXTRACTS: FUCUS AND THYME AND HORSETAIL AND SAGE, CETYL ALCOHOL, TRIETHANOLAMINE, LAUROAMPHOCARBOXYGLCINATE AND SODIUM TRIDECETH SULFATE, MENTHOL, SPEARMINT OIL, PEPPERMINT OIL, SASSAFRAS OIL, SODIUM HYALURONATE, CARMINE, PHENOXYETHANOL, POTASSIOUM SORBATE, SODIUM BENZOATE.
Looks ok for pregnancy and nursing

I’m not sure if the Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract is a stem cell ingredient or not. Some brands it is, some it isn’t. My concerns about stem cells are here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Otherwise it looks ok for pregnancy and nursing, so I guess it depends on if they are stem cells or not and how comfortable you are with that.

Hi Doctor, thank you for such a helpful blog. I wonder if you could advise if shea butter and sweet almond oil are okay (I was a bit confused as they contain vitamin A). Please could you also let me know if you think the following is safe: Glycerin, Aqua, Cetearyl Alcohol, Isocetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Avena Sativa Kernel Flour, Avena Sativa Kernel Extract, Avena Sativa Kernel Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ceramide 3, Ethylhexylglycerin, p-Anisic Acid, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Sodium Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Dipotassium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, Sodium Hydroxide, Tocopherol, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzoic Acid, Potassium Sorbate. Thank you
They’re both fine for pregnancy and nursing. We ignore the vitamin A found naturally in extracts and oils and such, often they’re not retinoids and aren’t in high enough amounts to be concerned about.

Hi there
I did not see the brand Guerlain in your list. Can you please review this brand?
Thank you for all the information you have provided on your website. It is very helpful.
I already have a post about 90% done. But please don’t comment on other random brands. I try to reserve the comments for ONLY the brand on that post, it makes it hard for other people to sort through the comments if they are looking for something. As stated at the bottom of each post, I delete comments in which you do this.
Hi, I love your site! Thank you so much for all this great info! Could you please add the brand Biologique Recherche to this list? Specifically, I would like to know about these 2 products:
Lotion P50:
Water (Aqua), Gluconolactone, Lactic Acid, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Citric Acid, Ethoxydiglycol, Magnesium Chloride, Malic Acid, Vinegar (Acetum), Phytic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Cochlearia Armoracia (Horseradish) Root Extract, Arctium Lappa Root (Burdock Root) Extract, Rumex Acetosa Leaf Extract, Myrtus Communis Extract, Commiphora Myrrha Resin Extract, Allium Cepa (Onion) Bulb Extract, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Flower/Leaf Oil, Sulfur, Sorbitol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate.
Lotion P50V:
Water (Aqua), Gluconolactone, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Lactic Acid, Ethoxydiglycol, Vinegar (Acetum), Magnesium Chloride, Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Phytic Acid, Spongilla Lacustris Spicule Extract, Yeast Extract (Faex Extract), Cochlearia Armoracia (Horseradish) Root Extract, Capsicum Frutescens Fruit Extract, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Seed Extract, Arctium Lappa Root Extract, Sulfur, Sodium Salicylate, Salicylic Acid, Sorbitol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Metabisulfite, Sodium Benzoate.
Thank you!!
And also this please (I realized it doesn’t have Salicylic Acid):
Lotion P50W:
Water (Aqua), Gluconolactone, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Propylene Glycol, Lactic Acid, Ethoxydiglycol, Magnesium Chloride, Malic Acid, Vinegar (Acetum), Phytic Acid, Citric Acid, Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract, Cochlearia Armoracia (Horseradish) Root Extract, Arctium Lappa Root Extract, Capsicum Frutescens Fruit Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Sulfur, Allantoin, Sodium Salicylate, Serine, Urea, Sorbitol, TEA-Lactate, Sodium Lactate, Sodium Benzoate.
This has gluconolactone, malic acid and a salicylate. Ok for nursing but not pregnancy.
I can NOT add that product line as there isn’t a source for ingredients that I consider reputable enough for inclusion on this site. I these 2 both have gluconolactone, malic acid, salicylic acid and a salicylicate in the P50V. Ok for nursing but not pregnancy.
Makes sense, thank you so much!

Hi! I wanted to know if the “Billie – Dry Bye Body Lotion” was pregnancy safe. The brand says it is clean on EWG but there are several essential oils I was unsure of in the product & could find minimal research online! Thank you so much!
INGREDIENTS:
Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Vegetable Glycerin, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Behenyl Alcohol, Carbomer, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil, Caprylyl Glycol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Sodium Bicarbonate, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Panthenol, Tocopherol, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Sambucus Nigra Flower Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Rosa Canina Flower Extract, Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel) Seed Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Flower Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Geranium Maculatum Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate
I have discussion on extracts and oils here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
I don’t always agree with the EWG, they’re highly controversial in the medical and scientific communities as they like to draw conclusions from studies that the authors disagree with. In particular, our views on product safety during pregnancy often differ.
This product looks ok for both pregnancy and nursing to me.
Hi- what do you think of this one for pregnancy?

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.

Hello! Your blog is insanely fabulous! Thank you so much for posting so much helpful information for all of us.
I would love to see more about ARCONA products. I use EWG Skin Deep to select my beauty products. Now I’m taking one step more to make sure all products are safe for pregnancy.
This is an exfoliator I love, ARCONA Cranberry Gommage. The only ingredient I can see that is questionable (and please do correct me if there are others) is willow bark. Overall, is this a safe product? The ingredients are as follows:
Aqua (Distilled Water), Diatomaceous Earth, Jojoba Esters (Beads), Glycerin*, Caprilic/Capric Triglyceride(Plant Oils), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Behenyl Alcohol, Sucrose Stearate, Vaccinium Macrocarpon(Cranberry) Fruit Extract, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) Extract, Zeolite, Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Extract, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Xanthan Gum, Alcohol Denat., Volcanic Minerals, Maltodextrin, Benzyl Alcohol, Fragrance (Natural).
Thank you for any information.
🙂 Cheers!
Arcona is already on my to do list.

This has salicylates. Ok for nursing but not pregnancy
Hi there! I just found out I’m pregnant and going through my products! Your blog is soooooo helpful! Thank you so much!! Can you tell me if this shampoo is ok? Also, do you think products containing talc is ok as well? Thank you for everything!
Contains: Water, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera Juice), Herbal Blend of Lavandula Officinalis (Lavender), Arctium (Burdock Root), Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail), Urtica Dioica (Nettle), Thea Sinensis (White Camellia), Decyl Glucoside, Coco Glucoside (Natural Vegetarian Surfactant from Corn, Potato, Wheat), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil), Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Vegetable Glycerine, Cannabis Sativa (Hemp Seed Oil), Panthenol, Guar Gum, Whole Wheat Protein, Citric Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Essential Oils of Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) and Mentha Piperita (Peppermint); Polyaminopropyl Biguanide.
Talc is fine.
this shampoo has hemp, my disclaimer for that is below. It is otherwise ok.
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! I will avoid! Everything is so overwhelming! Trying to look through everything carefully! Your website has been extremely helpful!! Xoxo
Good evening! I was wondering if you’ve reviewed the bare republic line or am I just missing it? Thank you for amazing site by the way! It’s truly my only go to!

Is this safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding? Ingredients below:
D’ALBA PIEDMONT
White Truffle Intensive Ampoule
Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Dimethicone, Niacinamide, Nylon-12, Dimethiconol, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Leucojum Aestivum Bulb Extract, Caviar Extract, Arctium Lappa Root Extract, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Hibiscus Esculentus Fruit Extract, Piper Methysticum Leaf/Root/Stem Extract, Pearl Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Panax Ginseng Berry Extract, Tuber Magnatum Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil, Boron Nitride, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Xanthan Gum, Cyclopentasiloxane, Sodium Polyacrylate, Silica, Trideceth-6, Panthenol, Polyquaternium-51, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Glycosyl Trehalose, Xylitylglucoside, Tromethamine, Adenosine, Disodium EDTA, Anhydroxylitol, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Raffinose, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Xylitol, Lecithin, Inositol, Butylene Glycol, Beta-Glucan, Folic Acid, Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Hydroxyacetophenone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Pentylene Glycol

Hi there!
I’ve been reading your posts about Retinol/breastfeeding. I know doctors have mixed opinions on whether they see it as a concern or not. I’m new to the retinol world and started using about 6 months before getting pregnant and then quit using it. I’m now breastfeeding and was wanting to start using again but not sure if all retinol is “created equal” with the ingredients that are in it! 🙂
Here’s the ingredients in the SkinPharm 1% Retinol drops:
Dimethicone, Isododecane, Caprylic,Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Glycerol Oleate, Retinol, Sea Whip Extract, Bisabolol, Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Tocopherol, BHT
It’s a very mixed recommendation currently. Pretty much all retinoids are treated equally, we can’t do the studies needed to differentiate them or the % they are used at (the studies are unethical). It’s really a personal decision if you want to use retinoids while nursing. I used them, the trend toward avoiding them was after I had my girls. If I was nursing now, I would concentrate on using a great exfoliator (either physical with a clarisonic or chemical such as glycolic acid) and then vitamin C
Hey doc, i want to ask, is it safe to use bust firming cream or serum while breastfeeding? If its safe, do you have any brand reccomendation? My baby is 7 months old now and i notice that my breast is sagging
Thankyou for your help doc!
I don’t have one that I recommend. They’re all considered ineffective.
But is it safe doc? Or i should just wait untill i’m done breastfeeding?
I can’t say that all breast firming creams are safe, they vary by a lot, I would need an exact product with an ingredient list to comment. Most are the same as a basic face cream.
Hello,
Thank you for all of your wonderful information! I have a few products from brands I don’t see on large list hoping you could review:
Naked and thriving renew Resurfacing Night Serum- Contains sugar glycolic acids so not sure if that is different from AHA’s you mentioned to avoid in post.
Full Ingredients: Water, Glycerin*, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Juice*, Sodium Hyaluronate**, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract**, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract**, Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract**, Ferulic Acid**, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract**, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract**, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract**, Gluconolactone**, Sodium Benzoate**, Calcium Gluconate**

**Certified natural ingredient.
Clear skin elixir from Averr Aglow
Zinc Oxide (non-nano), Deionized Water, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, French Pink Clay, Matricaria Recutita Flower (Chamomile) Water, Coral, Crataegus Monogyna (Hawthorn) Fruit Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Oil, Alcohol, Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Anisate, Glycerin, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E), Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Leptospermum Scoparium (Manuka) Oil.
Thank you!!
I would avoid the night serum due to the gluconolactone. The glycolic acid isn’t in the ingredient list, so they’re likely considering it to be in the extracts, which doesn’t count for pregnancy safety. But the gluconolactone does. Ok for nursing though.
The skin elixir looks ok for both pregnancy and nursing
Hello! I have a nail and cuticle biting problem when I’m anxious or stressed. Just a couple of months ago, prior to getting pregnant, I started using Mavala Stop. It has worked really well for strengthening and the bitter taste is an immediate wake up when I start doing it subconsciously. Are the ingredients in this that I should be concerned about during pregnancy?
Mavala Stop from Switzerland
Ingredients: Ethyl Acetate, Butyl Ester of PVM/MA Copolymer, Phthalic Anhydride/Trimellitic Anhydride/Glycols Copolymer, Isopropyl Alcohol, Alcohol Denat, Denatonium Benzoate, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Benzophenone-1, CI 60725 (D&C Violet No. 2).
The benzophenone-1 is a chemical sunscreen that I would avoid while pregnant
Hello! Your site has been incredibly helpful to me! I’ve been able to get through most of my skincare and makeup drawers to weed out products that I should probably avoid while pregnant! Having all of this info in one place has been a godsend! I would love to see your pregnancy-safe reviews of Thrive Cosmetics (https://thrivecausemetics.com/) as well as a blog post on pregnancy-safe nail products (polish, press ons, removers, cuticle treatments, etc). Thank you for all of your hard work!
Thrive is already on my to do list, I love their products!
For nail products, anything on the actual nail is ok as it’s dead protein and can’t absorb anything, so all polishes and removers are actually ok as long as you use them in a ventilated area. There’s already a lot of cuticle products in the lists above.
Hello, thank you for this info! Can you please do a review of MV Organics products? thank you
I’ve just added them to my to do list

Hi there can you please do a review on a hylunia products? Meanwhile I would really appreciate if you could tell me if these mists are pregnancy safe? Thank you in advance 🙂
1) Neroli mist:
Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Water (Neroli)*
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera)*
Colloidal Silver, Glycerin*
Avena Sativa Kernel Extract (Oat)*
Ethylhexylglycerin*.
2) colloidal silver mist:
Colloidal Silver
Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Water (Lavender)*
They’re both ok, but I hesitate a bit before saying use of colloidal silver is definitely safe. I just think about that guy in Kansas who turned himself blue, I would think that isn’t good for a baby.

Hello,
I appreciate your effort.
I wanted to ask your opinion regarding the following products:
Luseta Keratin Smooth Shampoo & Conditioner.

Thank you.
They’re fine. The issue is with the keratin chemical treatments in the salon, there’s a lot of fumes that should likely be avoided (even not in pregnancy).
Both for pregnancy and nursing ?
Thanks a million !

This has gluconolactone that I’d avoid in pregnancy, but ok for nursing.
I’ll add Sand SKY to my to do list

Hi there, I’m in search of a good stretch mark prevention cream, are there any you recommend?
I have read good reviews on TriLASTIN Stretch Mark Cream, here are the ingredients:
water, prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil, tribehenin peg-20 esters, butylene glycol, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, ethylhexyl stearate, tricaprylin, canola oil, squalane, stearic acid, dimethicone, oryza sativa (rice) bran oil, vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, benzyl alcohol, triethanolamine, polysorbate 80, isohexadecane, sodium acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate/acrylamide copolymer, carbomer, chlorphenesin, propylene glycol, butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, mangifera indica (mango) seed butter, tocopheryl acetate, dehydroacetic acid, xanthan gum, glycerin, anthemis nobilis flower oil, glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract, saccharum officinarum (sugar cane) extract, camellia sinensis leaf extract, diethanolamine, fragrance, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel oil, citrus grandis (grapefruit) fruit extract, citrus grandis (grapefruit) peel oil, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, phenoxyethanol, yellow 5 (ci 19140)
Thank you!!
This has licorice root, so ok for nursing but not pregnancy.
Unfortunately, nothing topical has ever been found to be helpful for stretch marks or prevention. Dermatologists typically recommend just massaging in some sort of moisturizer, any one that you want to use is fine. After pregnancy many of the usual anti-aging cream ingredients can help (retinoids especially), and later there are laser treatments if they’re really bad. I wish I could be more helpful!
Hi Doctor ,

Thank you very much and best of Regards xo
#1 has gluconolactone, which is a polyhydroxy acid, similar to a hydroxy acid but penetrates better into the skin. Info here on why sometimes brands and I disagree: pregnancy beauty FAQ, and some info here on hydroxy acids: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy Basically, we don’t have info but know they penetrate and we don’t trust them.

#1 has hemp, licorice root and a form of salicylic acid
I’m not comfortable saying hemp is fully safe in pregnancy or nursing, my reasoning is below and that’s up to you. The other 2 ingredients are ones I recommend avoiding in pregnancy for sure, but ok for nursing.
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.
#2 has a few things that could be stem cells, but they aren’t always (not all brands label them the same), there’s discussion on that here and it’s up to you: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
I don’t see any other ingredients to be concerned about there

Hi, you used to have a list of products you used while pregnant you were pregnant but I can’t find that anymore. I am overwhelmed trying to find a safe and effective eye cream. I am wondering if you have a recommendation. Thank you!
The list of what I used is obsolete now, everything is either no longer around or has been reformulated and not a single item was safe now. 🙁 I did a post on what drugstore products I would use if I was pregnant now, it was very recent and should still be valid! I should do one with products from Sephora/Dept stores
I will look at that list. Thanks. One for Sephora would be amazing. Thank you for all you do with these reviews. It is so hard to find safe products.
I found it! I knew I had done this post and I was going crazy. It’s the pregnancy safe picks for rosacea post, but they’re all very gentle and work for any skin condition.

Thank you so much for doing this. It really is quite helpful and provides such peace of mind.
I was hoping you could look into Beverly Hills MD’s Age Defense Facial Sunscreen to see if it is pregnancy safe. My mom gave this to me because we thought it was safer than other sunscreens but now reading into all of the unsafe pregnancy products, I am worried I should stop using it. If there are any unsafe ingredients in this product, should I worry about any complications?
The ingredients are:
Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide, 11% Zinc Oxide, 8% Inactive Ingredients: 1,2 Hexanediol, Aloe Barbadnesis Leaf Juice, Alumina, Aniba Rosaodora (Rosewood) Wood Extract, Beeswax, Butylene Glycol, Cmaellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Cetearyl Isononanoate, Cetearyl Nonanoate, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Citrus Auranitum Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Extract, Coco-caprylate, Coriandrum Stivum (Coriander) Seed Extract, Decylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Fucus Vesiculosus Extract, Glycerin, Hydrogeanted Castor OIl, Isopropyl Myristate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Isostearic Acid, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Flower/Leaf Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Lecithin, Magnesium Sulfate, Phenoxyethanol, Plumeria Rubra Flower Extract, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/Polyhydroxystearate/Sebacate, Polyhydryoxysteatic Acid, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Romsarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Sccharide Isomerate, Sodium Chloride, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Triethyl Citrate, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Vibrio Alginolyticus Ferment Filtrate, Water, Exossine Exo-T (kopara)

Thank you so much! I guess I should just double check that it will be safe for breastfeeding as well?
Pregnancy is more restrictive. Anything safe for pregnancy is fine for nursing, but not vice versa.
Thank you!!

Hi thank you so much for this thoroughly informative blog. You saved my sanity during pregnancy! Now that I am breastfeeding, I was wondering if it is safe to use honey in skincare products. I know not to feed it to my five month old child, but I am worried that some may still get in his mouth. Can I use products such as hand cream containing honey while nursing?
It should be fine because of the way they process most beauty products. I would be a little worried about the super “natural” brands if they use honey in large amounts.
Thank you so so much for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate it!
hi there! i tried posting a couple days ago but never saw my comment published or responded to 🙁 i love biologique recherche products you should add them to your list!!!

2) Biologique Recherche Lait Embryonnaire Visage Active ingredients include: essential fatty acids, squalane, cellular extract and essential oils and vitamin E.
Unfortunately, neither of these ingredient lists are complete so I can not comment. Your comment likely went into the spam filter, I never saw it.
BR is extremely difficult to review as there are almost no ingredient lists online from places that I would be able trust. I do have a list about half way done that I’ve been working on the last couple of weeks, but it is currently on hold as I am super busy on 3 projects for my real job. But it should be coming soonish.

Thank you so much for your help 🙏
I am very confused by these lists. Products 2 and 3 in particular. The way they are broken up by ingredient type is not allowed in the US, things must be written in order of how much of something is in a product, and I’m concerned ingredients aren’t included here, so I won’t comment on product safety without full information. Product 1 looks like a full list, and that is fine for pregnancy and nursing

Hello!!
I am 23 weeks pregnant and just now realizing that I was supposed to be looking through my skincare while pregnant. I am on the hunt for safe products after realizing what I was using is not safe! It makes me want to change my products for good. Do you have a suggestion for the best pregnancy safe brand (skin care & makeup)? Also wondering how terrible it is that I did not change my skin care until week 23?
Thanks for your input!
I have info on these situations in this post:
pregnancy beauty FAQ
I don’t have exact recs for the “best” brand for makeup or skincare. Many brands have safe products, you likely have many at home already.

Hi Doc,
My baby is 2 years old, and still breastfeeds although I feel like it’s just for comfort since I don’t have much milk anymore. He only latches right before a nap and bedtime, til he falls asleep.
Is it safe for me to already use a product with 2.5% retinol? And is it also safe to use a moisturizer with collagen?
The product With retinol is TruSkin Super Serum, with;
20% Vitamin C
5% Hyaluronic Acid
3.5% Niacimide
2.5% Retinol
The collagen moisturizer is :
MayAnn’s Collagen Cream
Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Caprylic/Capric Acid, Coconut, Jojoba, Retinol, Potassium Sorbate, Vitamin E, Purified Water
Is it alright to already apply it to my skin at bed time after my baby goes to sleep?
Thank you very much in advance.
My explanation about retinoids in nursing are found here: https://www.15minutebeauty.com/skin-care-ingredients-avoid-nursing.html”
But for about 2 years I’ve been saying to avoid retinoids in nursing as many other physicians are saying the same, but it’s not really based on new data instead it is more of a comfort level thing I think? It’s up to you how conservative you want to be. Both of these items have retinoids, and the TruSkin isn’t a full ingredient list so I don’t feel I can comment on it’s safety at all.
Thanks doctor:

Thanks so much for this resource!p, so helpful. What about the nuface device and gel. The gel ingredients are:

It’s recommended to avoid NuFace and similar therapies while pregnant. The gel’s fine, but it’s worthless without the electric device.
hi doc, I’m a little bit confuse here. so I just bought The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Sphere 2% (which is on your pregancy safe products) but I read somewhere that Vit C can’t be used with products that contain Sodium Benzoate because it’s carsinogen. meanwhile all of my body wash, facial wash, toner and moisturizer (all of them are on your pregnancy safe products list too) and since I’m now trying to conceive, I’m a little bit freaked out lol what do you think about it doc? thank you!
Every combination ever has been implicated in everything, and often the links are even very strong (or in well done/powered studies). I’ve already screened out any ingredients or anything that I’m concerned about. If I was worried about it, I wouldn’t have screened something as safe.
oops there’s a mistake in my writing doc, I meant to write that all of my body wash, facial wash, toner and moisturizer (which is on your pregnancy safe products too) they contain Sodium Benzoate in them. so it’s okay to use Vit C with products that contain sodium benzoate? thank you!
Yes, it’s fine
thank you so much! you’re amazing!

hi doc! it’s me again, so I always have this problem with blackhead on my nose. I always used products which contain AHA/BHA before but since I’m trying to conceive, I stop using it. is there any ingredient for removing blackheads that is safe for pregnancy/nursing? thank you!
I’d look at a clay mask or a sonic cleansing brush like a Clarisonic. Unfortunately Clarisonic just went out of business and I haven’t identified a new brand to recommend like that, but the sonic action actually vibrated things out of the pores.
thank you so much doc!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I usually use Azelac by sesderma for acne and folliculitis.
So could you please advise if it can be used, and if not any other safe alternatives?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and giving up your time, it is so appreciated. Could you please kindly tell me if this is ok for pregnancy/nursing. It is a wash off cleanser. I really love Bakuchiol as well, have you seen any further guidance on its use during pregnancy? I believe it is fine during nursing? Thank you so much

There’s discussion on Bakuchiol in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
I’m not so sure that it’s ok for pregnancy. I have a big problem with saying an ingredient “is just like a retinoid and works just like it” but then claiming it is safe without any evidence of safety. So, I’ve been screening it out like a retinoid, which if you’re conservative should be avoided in nursing as well as pregnancy.
This cleanser looks ok for pregnancy and nursing

Your nails can’t absorb anything (they’re dead proteins and pretty good barriers), but I would worry much more about the fumes as things are being applied and removed. Be sure you’re in a well ventilated area.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your quick reply. You are helping out a lot of women around the globe. xoxo

Hello,
Is Pura d’Or’s Healing Organic Aloe Vera Gel – Lavender safe while breastfeeding? I’m thinking of using it to make my “padcicles.” 😛
Ingredients (99.25% Organic):
Decolorized Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice*, Guar (Guar Gum) Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride*, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Glycerin (Vegetable Glycerin)*, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil*.
*Certified Organic Ingredient
It’s ok for your skin, but I wouldn’t use anything for padcicles that isn’t safe for baby to be ingesting, unless you’re planning to actually wash your nipples with soap and water after use. With the extracts, I would avoid this for that use. I had small reusable plastic ones that I could put in the freezer, like these ones. But, the cold actually made my nipples hurt more.
Thanks! The padcicles are actually not for the breasts – sorry, I should have been more specific – they’re maxi pads for recovery after a vaginal birth, that you coat with a bunch of aloe, some alcohol-free witch hazel, and a couple/few drops of lavender or calendula oil – then you freeze them, and when ready to use, take one out, let it thaw for a few minutes and put it on. They’re supposed to be great apparently – haha I’m a first-time mom so I have no idea yet but was going to give this a try.
This aloe (above) already has the lavender in it, so I was thinking of going with that, as it’s one of the only aloes I was able to find that seems to really just be mostly aloe and ingredients I’ve heard of/no sketchy ingredients. All in all, does this sound like a decent plan? Alternatively, if there’s a simpler and safer way to do this with fewer ingredients, I’m definitely open to that – like maybe just the aloe and witch hazel and no essential oils?
OH! I was so in the nursing thinking. People make pads for their nipples too, and I’ve heard those called padsicles too.
It should be fine for down there. However, I do have to say that things are irritated (and often healing wounds, if you’ve been stitched close), and the fewer ingredients the better (just aloe and witch hazel is better). They don’t tend to stay cold for super long. I’d look into something like this, where you refill the ice, put over your panties so they don’t get dirty. I thought this worked better for helping with pain.
Ah, that is definitely a simpler option – thank you so much!
Dear doctor,
I wonder those kind of placenta ingredients (form pig, horse) are ok for prenancy and nursing?
I’m using serum Fracora’s White’st Placenta Extract Serum with ingredients:
Water, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Placenta Extract
This is full ingredients, not a short list because they said their product contains almost pure placenta extract.
Could you please check and advice me?
Many thanks and appreciate your effort !
I wasn’t sure about that one either initially (you’ll notice I call out a somewhat similar ingredient, Snail Secretion, regularly). I spoke to a lot of OBs and Derms about their opinions about 2 years ago or so and they all felt it was ok. If it makes you worried, I would just avoid it. Skincare isn’t worth losing sleep over!

They’re fine, you only apply them to the hair shaft (not your scalp) and as your hair can’t absorb anything there’s no concern.

This has arbutin and should be avoided in pregnancy and nursing
Hi,
Thank you for all this research. I have a question about a 2 products: 1. Shampoo that contains horsetail extract and horsetail extract.
2. Face wash that contains licorice root extract. I see you call it out as not safe in other products, but wondering if it is okay since the wash is on my face for all of 30 seconds.
Thanks in advance!
I don’t have particular concerns about horsetail extract, but can’t call a product safe without seeing a full ingredient list.
It doesn’t really matter how long a product is on the skin, most face washes for example are formulated to leave a bit of their active ingredients behind to work on the skin. I wouldn’t call a face wash with licorice root safe.
Would this be ok?

Hello,
could you please take a look at the unscented Shampoo bar By Humankind? I haven’t washed my hair i n two weeks because everything seem risky at the EWG report.
Saponified Oils of Sunflower Seed’, Coconut’, Sustainable Palm’, Safflower Seed’, and Castor’ (with Retained Glycerin); Water; Sodium Hydroxide; Vitamin B5; Oat Amino Acids; Rosemary Extract. (‘Organic)
Thank you!
I wouldn’t pay a lot of attention to the EWG, they’re a lobbyist group who are very controversial within the scientific and medical communities, they often come to very different conclusions about studies than those who performed the actual studies…
This product is fine for both pregnancy and nursing.
Thank you very much! You are so knowledgeable and helpful!!!
I might have to ask you to review a few more products! 😋 Thank you very much for your time!

Hi, I am struggling with sore and itchy scalp! I know that you said the US version of apple head and shoulders shampoo is safe but wondered about the UK Version?
Thank you so much

Looks good to me! I use this as a spot treatment (my eczema flares on my scalp when I’m having allergy issues), just on the itchy spot and I leave it there for 4-5 minutes while I shower, shave, etc. I don’t wash all of my hair with it, it strips out my hair color if I do.
Thank you ever so much for your help! I’m a nervous pregnant lady and you have helped me feel much better about skincare! Xx
I’m glad! This shouldn’t be nerve wracking. If something makes you worried, just move on to another product, it is NOT worth worrying about or losing sleep over.
Hi there, can you please comment on the safety of this product? You don’t have the brand on this site for me to check.

Hi Dr! I got this product for free from a nail salon on their opening day, I’ve never heard of the brand before but it feels and smells nice. It says that it’s vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, paraben-free, phthalates-free, and sulfate-free. I’m still skeptical. Is it pregnancy safe?

Dear Doctor,
I am currently 35, going on 36 weeks of pregnancy. So far I have been able to ward off pre-birth stretch marks on my tummy (I am sure they will come!), but I have developed quite a few stretch marks on my thighs and derriere due to weight gain.
The main product I have been using is the Palmer’s Stretch Mark Lotion on your pregnancy safe list, but I would really appreciate your advice: do you recommend anything stronger to reverse or minimize the stretch marks after birth while nursing? Products, patches, etc…?
Thank you so much in advance! Very grateful!
Unfortunately nothing topical has been found to work in studies. If they’re really bad later after everything settles down (a few years post-partum) you can see a cosmetic dermatologist about having them lasered.
Thank you, much appreciated 🙂
Hi doctor,
Thank you so much for share your knowledge with us. This topic helps me a lot.
I would like to ask please check this one:

My list is conservative for a physician, and our info is conflicting because it isn’t based on real data, more on what we know about absorption of these ingredients and which ones we think *could* cause issues. Performing the studies we really need to prove if something is safe or not is unethical, so we’ll never really have that info. This is also why we say it’s just X ingredient, rather than X ingredient under 2% concentration for example. We don’t have that info at all, and saying you’re worried enough about an ingredient at a higher %, but you don’t really know if something is safe under that amount…. Anyways, there’s not a lot of info out there!
Some of these thoughts are in each ingredient here:
https://www.15minutebeauty.com/pregnancy-skin-care-ingredients-avoid.html
For these products, these are my opinions:
#5 is the only one safe for pregnancy and nursing
Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
1- Mandelic Acid, Licorice Root
2- Benzoyl Peroxide
3- Chemical sunscreen, licorice root
4- Says “micellized Vitamin A” which is FDA non-compliant, they need to be more specific with what chemical they have in there. I can’t comment on the safety.

That’s the longest ingredient list I’ve ever seen. I honestly wonder if there’s enough of any ingredient to actually do it’s job? It’s like they put everything possible in 1 product. It does have gluconolactone, so I wouldn’t use while pregnant but it’s fine for nursing.
The B5 gel is ok for pregnancy and nursing
Thank you for reviewing the list christine! Yes I find that the AHC products tend to have lots of ingredients in them. Could you please screen the previous generation of this product too? Thank you so much for your help!

All of this looks ok, but I’m a little concerned about the neuropeptide (Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate). It’s usually meant to penetrate and affect how the nerves and muscles are interacting, so wrinkles will be less apparent. There are obviously similar chemicals that your body produces to do the same thing, but those stay local and only are active for a very short time (think well under a second in general). The artificial ones in products are much longer acting. We don’t have info to specifically avoid them, but when I recognize them in a product I try to bring it up, because they make me a bit nervous. It’s really up to your comfort level though.
Hello doctor, please advise the safety on these following products:
Much appreciated!!
