     Both Kosas and Westman are on my to do list, I have have to have time to work on it more 🙂

     This looks ok, except I’m not sure if the rubus idaeus leaf cell culture is a stem cell ingredient or not. I’d see what the brand claims about it. My concerns about stem cells are here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
     Otherwise it looks ok for pregnancy/nursing. It’s just the stem cell potential issue

    Thanks so much for all of your helpful guidance. I see you have said not to worry about hair products unless they sit on your scalp. I was wondering whether you could comment on absorption through your hands when using products – if a hair product or shampoo for example has several ingredients not recommended, how risky might that be? For example the following product hair cream:
    Virtue 6-in-1
    AQUA (WATER, EAU), CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DIMETHICONE, GLYCERIN, PHENYL TRIMETHICONE, DIMETHICONOL, ALPHA KERATIN, PANTHENOL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, POLYACRYLAMIDE, MALTODEXTRIN/VP COPOLYMER, PVP, MALTODEXTRIN, AMMONIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYLTAURATE/VP COPOLYMER, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), OLETH-10, C13-14 ISOPARAFFIN, OLETH-20, LAURETH-7, PHENOXYETHANOL, CHLORPHENESIN, BENZOIC ACID, SORBIC ACID, LIMONENE, LINALOOL, BENZYL SALICYLATE, CITRONELLOL, CITRAL, EUGENOL

    There are a few acids, citronellol and salicylate which are all typically unsafe ingredients so any thoughts you have on safety for items such as these would be much appreciated.

    I also have scalp psoriasis and struggle to find anything safe that works and worry that could make some ingredients riskier as they could get absorbed?

    Thanks so much. I’ve had several losses and am worried about all products now, despite having always been careful.

    • 8.24.20

      Christine said:

      First, you should know that your products are very, very unlikely to have been at all involved in your losses, which I’m very sorry to hear about. It’s one of those parent things, we feel guilty about everything related to our kids, whether it was anything we could influence or not. Losses are typically very much out of your control, and you couldn’t have prevented them. But it is very understandable that you’d be super careful.

      Regarding if you need to need to worry about hair products, all the OBs I’ve ever talked to have said that I’m over thinking it too much, and even screening the ones that touch the scalp is too much (though I don’t see how that’s much different than facial products). I’d say if you’re super worried, you could screen all the products, or even just consider moving things over to spray versions. I have a lot of spray serums and creams even that I use on my hair. Then you’re not touching the product at all. The product you posted here I’m only worried about the salicylate, the others are ok.

      What do you typically use on your scalp for your psoriasis? I’ve always had eczema that flares with my allergies, and there is 1 patch on my leg (always! every spring and fall!) and 2 spots behind each ear, but in my scalp. My dad (also a pediatrician) swears I have psoriasis, not eczema. I’m not so sure about that… anyways, I use Head and Shoulders Green Apple, and that is pregnancy safe. I know some people can use typical zinc/tin shampoos with decent results, but not everyone.

        Melissa said:

        Thank you for your response. I’ve used a variety of things for the psoriasis including prescriptions to little results – I find sulfates aggregate it which is why I have tried H&S. I also have highlighted hair so try to avoid sulfates and also thought they were recommended to avoid in pregnancy. It is all a minefield!

          Christine said:

          Sulfates are ok for pregnancy, it’s salicylates you need to avoid. I only apply the H&S directly to affected areas, then let it sit there for a few minutes. I don’t wash everywhere with it, it dries my hair out too much, esp where my highlights are!

      This has chemical sunscreens, salicylate, and licorice root. Avoid in pregnancy but ok for nursing.
      Unfortunately I don’t know any cushion foundations off hand that are safe (they almost always have chemical sunscreens). I’m sorry!

          If a brand had a hand sanitizer when I reviewed them, then it is in the brand lists above. Otherwise I have decided very specifically to NOT create a post dedicated to them because the market is evolving so quickly (meaning, something is released, it sells out within a day, and it is never seen again). It would honestly be extremely difficult to make a useful post.

    Hi Doctor,

    I saw that Mighty Patch was highly recommended by the site What To Expect When Expecting, so I decided to give it a shot. It’s good in terms of extracting white heads without popping, but I still don’t know what to do about lingering redness afterwards. I cam across another product in the same Hero line, rescue balm. It sounds like just what I need, but is it safe for pregnancy? Here is the list of ingredients: Water/​Aqua/​Eau, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl PEG/​PPG-10/​1 Dimethicone, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Allantoin, Pantolactone, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Trihydroxystearin, Diisostearoyl Polyglyceryl-3, Polyglyceryl-3 Oleate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/​Polyhydroxystearate/​Sebacate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Aluminum Hydroxide, Magnesium Sulfate, Propylene Carbonate, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891)

    Also, how long should I wait to cover up a recently extracted zit with make-up? And would it be safe to put another Mighty Patch over a recently extracted zit while it’s healing? I also keep reading mixed reviews as to whether tea tree oil is a good skin remedy for pregnant women. What are your thoughts regarding this?

    Whew! That’s a lot! Thank you so much again for taking the time to answer all of our questions.

    Best,

    A. Toner

      I would wait a day or so before putting makeup over something if you’ve popped it. You want the skin to have a chance to heal over a bit. I haven’t seen the mighty patch in person, so I’m not sure if it would be good to use or not. You could definitely try it!
      Tea tree oil is ok for pregnancy, but like everything I would use it in moderation. As a spot treatment is ok, but I wouldn’t wipe it over your entire face.

    Dear Dr. Christine,

    May I ask if this product is both safe for pregnancy and nursing?

    Brand: Bio essence
    Product: Bio-Water Vitamin B5 Gel

    Ingredients:
    Water, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Ceramide 3, Euglena Gracilis Extract, Tocopherol, Biosaccharide Gum-1., Triethanolamine, Disodium Edta, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin

    Also, am I right to say that all pregnancy-safe products are also safe for nursing, but not vice versa?

    Thank you.

      Pregnancy is the most restrictive time, anything pregnancy safe is also nursing safe. But you’re right, vice versa isn’t true which is why the next category specifically says not safe for pregnancy.

      The thing with nail polish is all marketing. Your nails themselves are dead proteins, they can’t absorb anything. Nail polish hardens to form a film, with the aim of not moving or being absorbed (and the nails can’t absorb anyways)…. The chemicals the companies discuss are yes, capable of causing birth defects, but the way you use nail polish means you can’t absorb it (I’m assuming you’re applying it and not drinking it) 🙂 So, use any polish you want. My only warning would be the same whether you are pregnant, nursing or simply breathing: apply in a well ventilated place.

       I found some concerns for all of these products with pregnancy, they’re probably all ok for nursing.

       Zero Pore Pad 2.0: Salicylic Acid, willow bark, salicylate
       Triple Deep Erasing Cream: Salicylate

       Both of these have Disodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)
       Triple Collagen Toner 2.0
       Triple Collagen Serum 2.0
       EDTA is an anticoagulant, and I can’t imagine what purpose it would really serve in skincare. I don’t feel comfortable saying it’s perfectly safe in pregnancy.

       #1 has chemical sunscreen, ok for nursing but not pregnancy
       #2 is ok for pregnancy and nursing

       Note, both of these brands are already included in the list above. I try to have people comment about their products on those brand pages (if the products haven’t already been screened) because others looking for the same info will be more likely to find it on the appropriate page.

       With the retinoid and salicylate it isn’t safe for pregnancy. Some people avoid retinoids while nursing, though I don’t really know of any studies that support that. I have seen more physicians recommending this though, and if you’re already hesitating I don’t think it’s worth using the product. There’s enough going on in the world currently, you shouldn’t be worried about your skincare!

         Thanks for following up about this. I was just curious, why you screen some leave in/hair prep products. I noticed a primer detangler was screened as safe so was just curious. I know these don’t technically touch the scalp, but I guess I was concerned about spraying and it getting on my scalp accidentally.

           I occasionally do it if people are driving me crazy or it’s a product some people do use on their scalp. But I get asked about so many products each day (and I work full time, have a family and we are virtual schooling right now) that screening 10-15 extra products that people shouldn’t worry about, esp when I have already explained in the post why they shouldn’t be worried about, is a frustrating time suck.

           You don’t need to worry about those really, though food is a higher level of exposure, they don’t generally dump large amounts of these things in. I’d talk to your OB, they’ll give you a list of things to avoid.

           The stem extract you have here is the actual stem of the plant that they’ve juiced basically. Stem cells are tricky, brands label them differently, and sometimes they label them like a cell broth basically. If I see one of the suspicious labels, I typically have to say to look and see what the brand is claiming is in there, if it’s stem cells that sounds fancy and they’ll call that out in their copy, they want you to know it is there!

     Hi!

     Is the new formulation of May Lindstrom’s Honey Mud sage for pregnancy? I believe one of the main differences between the old and new formula is the addition of wintergreen which they say is a “natural salicylic acid”….

           When it’s added individually as a chemical it’s actually in a much higher concentration, and it’s actually not exactly the same chemical when from the “natural source.” Brands that claim it is in there aren’t actually being entirely accurate in that. This product looks fine for pregnancy and nursing.

       #1- ok for pregnancy and nursing
       #2- Arbutin, avoid in both pregnancy and nursing
       #3- Glycolic Acid, avoid in pregnancy but ok for nursing
       #4- ok for pregnancy and nursing

       I would talk to your doctor about the perioral dermatitis. Typically it has a staph infection component and you can’t get rid of it without a topical antibiotic. Over the counter options (like bacitracin or neosporin) don’t work for it.

       Ok for pregnancy and nursing:
       Black Clay Facial Soap
       Aloe&Rose Clay Complexion Soap
       ROSE HYDRATING TONER WITH HYALURONIC ACID + ROOIBOS
       Rose Nourishing Serum

       Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
       Purely Simple Face Cream: Gluconolactone
       Active Gel Toner: Gluconolactone

         Thank you! It’s something I’ve dealt with on and off and is just exasperated by pregnancy 🙁 My concern is most of the topical antibiotics I researched seem to not have enough data to show if they’re safe for pregnancy, so I was hoping to keep it mostly at bay while pregnant by possibly switching up my skincare routine. But will definitely bring it up at my appt next month, didn’t know it was related to staph. Thank you again for this awesome site and your quick responses!!

       All nail products are ok, your nails are dead proteins and can’t absorb anything. The acetone even is fine to use. Just make sure you’re using it in a well ventilated area.

       Some of them are ok and some aren’t. This one has hemp in it, here’s my blurb on it. 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.

       What works best for me is some sort of facial oil (my favorite is Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery, but L’Oreal makes a dupe product), and then something really thick on top. The O’Keefe’s is one of my go-tos for that. 🙂

     Hi, I wanted to know your view on whether it’s safe to wear perfume during pregnancy. I suppose one could spray it on the clothes and hair and avoid contact with skin, but what about inhalation?

     Thank you 🙂

       You should never be inhaling when spraying yourself with products, for hair or body. That goes for when you are pregnant or not. I recommend spraying while you hold your breath and then step away out of the cloud of product. Most perfumes have salicylates and aren’t pregnancy safe so yes, I recommend spraying on your clothes and hair. Breathing the scent while you’re wearing it should be fine.

       Christine said:

       I’m not a fan of powder sunscreens. It has to do with how the SPF is measured.

       When they test sunscreen SPF values, the sunscreen product has to be applied to a standard application level. This is 2 mg/cm2 of skin area, which for the average adult is about 1 ounce of sunscreen for your entire body, the recommended amount. It’s almost impossible to put enough sunscreen into a powder to get the correct SPF value. With the size of the average face, this would be about 1.2 g of powder per application (most jars are about 18-20g total). The average woman applies 0.085 g of powder, so ~1/14th the amount you need to get the correct SPF. (This is all from my Cosmetic Dermatology by Dr Leslie Baumann textbook.)

       So, powder sunscreens should never be relied upon to actually deliver the stated SPF.

         • Salicylic acid?
         • Stearic acid?

         Thanks again x

           I added numbers to the products so it would be easier to refer to them.

           You don’t need to worry about lecithin or steric acid. Salicylic acid I would avoid in pregnancy. It depends on the actual ingredient chemical name for their bio-retinol (here I think it’s actually beta-carotene which is ok) and the plant derived PHA. (The INCI is the full ingredient list with actual chemical names)

           Ok for pregnancy and nursing:
           3, 5

           Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
           1, 2- Gluconolactone (this is likely your plant derived PHA)
           4- Gluconolactone, salicylic acid

     Hi Doc,
     In many of these comments i see that the ingredient ‘benzyl salicylate’ is listed and is identified on your blog as a potentially harmful ingredient. You confirm in multiple replies, it is not safe to use during pregnancy.
     The famous product Bio oil, a recommended topical oil to be used directly on your stomach during pregnancy and after pregnancy, contains benzyl salicylate.
     Can you please confirm that Bio oil is potentially harmful to the fetus when used on your stomach during pregnancy.? Thanks.

       Bio-Oil has it’s own page in the list above and if you look there and/or search the blog you’ll see that I state over and over that Bio-Oil has not only salicylates but also retinoids, so shouldn’t be used in pregnancy for sure and while you’re pregnant if you’re conservative. I know many physicians who go out of their way to counsel their patients to avoid this product, but the brand markets it like this despite the mainstream medical community stating to avoid these ingredients.

       When it’s a leaf/stem extract that typically is just a juice from the leaves and stems. Zostera Marina is ok too. I wonder more about the Rhus Semialata Call Extract (cell extract?) Sometimes stem cells are labelled that way, you have to sometimes look at their marketing materials to see if it is, they always mention stem cells if that’s the case. Otherwise I”m not worried about any of the ingredients in this and it’s up to you if you want to use it in pregnancy.

       I can’t make a La Prarie list currently as I don’t have access to their ingredients in the US from a reliable source. Their website here doesn’t list them, international versions aren’t the same the US versions, and their retailers don’t list the ingredients either. It’s one of the brands that I check on every few months to look for info because it is so requested. Chanel used to be the same way, and they added the ingredients lists! I’m hoping La Prarie does too.

       This product has licorice root, so ok for nursing but not pregnancy.

       Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
       1, 2, 7: Salicylate
       4, 5: Salicylic Acid

       You only need to worry about hair products that will be applied to the roots or directly to the scalp. Your hair can’t absorb anything (it’s dead protein) so I don’t typically review products such as conditioners, as they are not meant to be used that way. Same with most hair oils and other styling products.

         Thank you!

         You had previously reviewed Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 as pregnancy safe, but one of the active ingredients is Octinoxate. It seems they reformulated — is this no longer safe for use during pregnancy?

         Active Ingredients:
         Avobenzone 3%
         Octinoxate 7.5%
         Octisalate 2%

         Inactive Ingredients:

         Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Arachidyl Alcohol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Cetearyl Glucoside, Benzyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Ethylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Behenyl Alcohol, Steareth-2, Sodium Cocoyl Amino Acids, Polyacrylamide, Fragrance, Steareth-21, Arachidyl Glucoside, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Flower/Leaf/Stem Juice, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Sarcosine, Laureth-7, Potassium Aspartate, Magnesium Aspartate

           They have 2 versions of it, this is why I say to click through each link to be sure you’re looking at the correct one. The products have the same name but different SPF values.

           Per my pregnancy safe products from Aveeno post, the Ultra-Calming Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 is not safe due to Chemical Sunscreens, but the Ultra-Calming Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 is mineral sunscreen based and is fine.

     Hi there!

     Wow I love your site. It has been so incredibly helpful. I was really starting to find it all a big minefield but your pages have been so incredibly informative. I am based in the UK so some of the products I am using are not listed and I was wondering if I could be cheeky and ask you to review them for me please? I use a lot of Aldi’s own products:

     ALDI LACURA CAVIAR DAY CREAM
     Aqua, Glycerin, Octocrylene, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Sucrose Polystearate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Methylpropanediol, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Panthenol, Dimethicone, Maltodextrin, Globularia Cordifolia Callus Culture Extract, Caviar Extract, Sodium Acrylate, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Coenochloris Signiensis Extract, Propylene Glycol, Acetyl Hexapeptide-51 Amide, Lecithin, Tetrasodium Edta, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid, Parfum, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Phenethyl Alcohol, Geraniol, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben, Potassium Sorbate

     I think this is not OK as it contains SPF and salicylate?

     ALDI LACURA CAVIAR NIGHT CREAM

     Aqua, Alcohol Denat, Salicylic Acid,Camphor, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Mentha Piperita, Benzoic Acid, Parfum, Limonene,CI 42090

     Again this contains Salicylic Acid so assuming it’s a no?

       These are officially the longest lists I’ve ever seen. I always wonder when they’re this long if there’s enough of anything to do it’s job in the product? (I need the little shrugging emoji here) I fully admit I read each product list about 4x and then did a bunch of finds on the lists for things that are usually issues in products to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
       They both have licorice root, but that’s it. So, ok for nursing but not pregnancy.

       It’s still on my to do list. I’ve been asked maybe… 1x total for a product of theirs that isn’t one one of the other lists (like concealers or foundations), esp since a lot of makeup you don’t need to worry about.

       It’s ok, though the idea of using a chemical that can be absorbed when you could just use a razor is a bit odd to me.

       Avene, Cetaphil both have their own pages and your products are included in the comments there. (They’re not listed as they aren’t US products) I try to encourage people to comment about their products on the correct brand pages (as stated above) so that others can find the info later if they want to know about the same product. Answering about the same products over and over is very time consuming for me.

       Ok for pregnancy and nursing:

       Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
       1, 3, 4: chemical sunscreens

     Hi! Thank you SO much for all the time you spend on this. Do you get a commission if we purchase from your links? Would love to know a way to give back to you with all the free knowledge you share with us!

     Something to possibly add to your list: Nourish Organic. I have looked through the site and I don’t think you have covered it previously. These comment sections are true gold and I have CTRL+F almost all the individual ingredients to see if you have OK’d other products with them in it, so I feel pretty comfortable using them at this point. But would like to purchase from your links!

     Thanks so much!

Most of the link are affiliate links, which is how I pay for very expensive web hosting and can buy myself fun things (ok, mostly shoes) sometimes. 🙂 There’s a LOT covered in the comments (this post has >9,200 comments alone). I think if you search in the search box, it will also pull up pages with the correct comment from the entire site, if you haven’t tried doing that yet, I suggest you do!

       The shampoo has salicylate and chemical sunscreen, so ok for nursing but not pregnancy. The conditioner is ok for both pregnancy and nursing.
       Personally, I usually worry more about products right at the scalp, and conditioner doesn’t go there, but it’s the shampoo that’s the problem here.

       Have you tried a brightening treatment instead of a purple shampoo/conditioner combo? My daughter is basically a platinum blonde naturally (she gets it from dad), and I haven’t found that the shampoo/conditioner duos are enough for her. About every month or so I use a toning mask on her instead, and then I can use whatever shampoo/conditioner I want. This one is my favorite, though it also has chemical sunscreens. This Redken is a close 2nd (it’s slightly less purple) and it’s pregnancy and nursing safe. (The Redken Shampoo also has chemical sunscreens and the conditioner is fine)

         Thank you so much for the prompt response, Christine!

         I have not tried a brightening treatment. I have natural black hair until I decided to do a ashy-brown balayage for my wedding pictures a few months back so I have been using the new Joico blue shampoo/conditioner as it works better for darker hair than the purple duo. I have stopped using both now and went back to using Head and Shoulders shampoo, which I believe is safe…unless you heard/know otherwise? I’m glad I can resume using the blue conditioner at least.

         Thanks!

       I usually recommend not buying a separate neck cream, they have the same active ingredients as your face cream. Just spread your face cream down your neck, onto your chest and on the back of your hands when you apply.

       I’m not sure if the Apple cell extract is considered to be stem cells or not (sometimes it is, sometimes not, it depends on the brand). My concerns about stem cells are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

       Really it’s up to you if you feel comfortable. Everything else looks pregnancy safe.

     Hi! I am struggling with some pregnancy acne and started using azelaic acid from “The Ordinary”. While it does help, it comes in a very small tube. I have recently found azelaic acid from a company that you do not have posted on your website. I was wondering if you would be able to confirm whether or not it is pregnancy safe. Please advise!

     Naturium Azelaic Topical Acid 10%
     Ingredients:
     Water, Propanediol, Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Niacinamide, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenylpropanol, Phenoxyethanol, Citric Acid, Potassium Chloride, Glycerin, Chlorphenesin, Tocopherol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate

     Thank you

       Sometimes the spam filters won’t let through very long chemical named posts. Shorter posts tend to better with the filter, which is part of the reason I say to keep it to a few products. I don’t have time to search through the thousands of spam comments in the filter each day for 2-3 posts unfortunately.

     Hi, Doctor.

     May i ask for your help to confirm if this body scrub safe to use while nursing. I am just a little bit worried if coffee extract can be absorbed into bloodstream that can possible decrease my milk supply.

     The ingredients were:
     Coffee & Vanilla: aqua (water), stearic acid (vegetable-derived), cetearyl alcohol (vegetable-derived), decyl glucoside (coconut-derived), Bambusa arundinacea (bamboo) stem extract, coco-glucoside (coconut-derived), glyceryl oleate (coconut-derived), Coffea arabica (coffee) seed powder, levulinic acid (plant-derived), Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice, xanthan gum, fragrance (all-natural), p-anisic acid (anise seed-derived), phytic acid (rice-derived).

     Please advise. Thank you.

       Christine said:

       It should be fine for both pregnancy and nursing. The amount that could be absorbed is much smaller than drinking coffee, and that’s not really something we even recommend avoiding for milk supply issues, the affect is negligible.

       I previously have a question from you in August that I answered. The one on 12/3 was just over an hour before this one, and as I’m currently working an extremely busy week taking care of CoVID patients, I’m going to pretend you’re not complaining that I haven’t answered you in the last hour. I have answered every single other post that’s in the queue. I do not go into the spam filter though, as thousands of spam messages are there each day. My site is popular and highly targeted, and it filters out a few real messages a day. So, I’m sorry for not getting your post in November, but I’m not going to apologize for not answering you in the last hour, during which I was in the hospital dealing with my patients. This isn’t an instantaneous service. I’m an actual person, with a family and a job, which take precedence over looking at products for you. I need to sleep and eat. You should perhaps consider that when you leave messages like this.

       Dry has a salicylic acid derivative, ok for nursing but not pregnancy.
       Combination is ok for pregnancy and nursing.

       Elizabeth Arden is still on my to do list, it usually only comes up every 6 months or so, so other brands tend to get bumped above it based on demand.
       #1 and 2 both have chemical sunscreens, ok for nursing but not pregnancy. I know #2 says without SPF, they just haven’t tested it to advertise an SPF value. The Oxybenzone is the sunscreen.
       #3 is ok for both pregnancy and nurisng.
