    Hi Doctor,

    I’m not sure what happened to my post, I couldn’t find it anymore? Maybe my internet was not working good yesterday.
    Could I ask you again if pregnant woman need to worry about hand-soap? I’m think to purchase some hand-soaps from Bath &Body works? I can’t provide the ingredients due to there are so many variety scents of hand-soap? Just wondering if you can help me out? Thanks in advance!

      Bath and Body works has so many scents, all of which are different and change almost weekly, that I will not review them in a full post. I have tried and everything turns over almost immediately, making weeks of my time worthless. You can ask about specific scents if you have an ingredient list, but I will not make a post for them.

            Off hand, I don’t. I think there are some included in the various brand lists. I’m sorry!
            There are a lot of brands that include chemical sunscreens (without testing for SPF) to prolong shelf life.

            Thank you for your speedy reply. You are so nice.

            Since there a lot of brands that includes sunscreen ingredient to prolong self life. Should pregnant women be careful of it as the hand soap? Or it doesn’t matter since it will be rinsed out by water?

I have posted a question here about 4 lancome products and was hoping to find an answer here, but can’t see any older comments, neither from PC nor my phone, they seem to just have disappeared. 🙁 any chance you could repost it? sorry for the trouble.

      I don’t allow questions about products from brands that I’ve reviewed outside of their own brand pages. They clutter up other pages, and if it’s a question that someone else has later people can find it more easily on the brand’s page. I have also spent untold number of hours reviewing many brands, including Lancome which is linked above. All of this is covered in the page how to ask about product safety, which is linked above. You asked here, instead of on the Lancome page, which is already in the alphabetized list.

    Many thanks! 🙏

    Dermaroller Mask-Intensive Hyaluronic Moisturizer

    https://dermarollerclinics.com/product/mask/

    Ingredients:

    Matrixyl®
    A patented peptide combination based on anti-aging research and can be considered a miracle treatment to prevent skin aging. Peptide increases the production of the skin’s own collagen and hyaluronic acid. Improves the elasticity and tone of the skin and helps smooth out wrinkles.
    Protects against the harmful effects of UV.

    Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
    Smooths the skin surface texture and improves the moisture retention capacity of the skin. Increases the enzyme activity of the skin and protects against oxidation damage caused by UV radiation (free radicals). Supports cell protection and stimulates tissue repair. Protects against premature aging.

    Hyaluronic Acid

    Binds moisture in the outermost skin layer and releases the stored moisture after several hours to maintain this effect for a long period of time. Increases the firmness of the tissue and smooths the skin. Small wrinkles are diminished and a skin-toning effect is created.

    Full Ingredient List
    Aqua, Propylene, Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3), Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide-E (Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide), Coconut Acid, Fragrance

      The conditioner has gluconolactone to avoid in pregnancy, but since you’re only applying to the end of your hair (which can’t absorb anything) you shouldn’t worry about it. Just don’t apply to your scalp.

        Got it, thank you! One more question. Since I obviously use my hands to apply the conditioner and rub it in to the ends of my hair is that ok? Or better to be safe and use a different conditioner?

          Should be ok. At some point we’re all way over thinking all of this. Technically per my discussions with derms and OBs even worrying about any hair stuff at all is way over thinking it, I just worry about the stuff that’s actually on the scalp.

      This has a retinoid, Avoid in pregnancy and in nursing if you’re conservative
      Most of the more “proven” ingredients (esp the retinoid and the peptides) are all at the bottom of an extremely long ingredient list, WAY later than any preservatives. I’m not sure there’s enough to make a big difference.

        For Disinfecting hand gels, that I am using (Europe), unfortunately the only ingredient they specify on bottles is Ethanol (CAS 64-17-5).
        I was wondering if Ethanol itself might not be safe during pregnancy and better be avoided (maybe starting from certain concentration %).
        Thank you for your great website and support!

          Ethanol itself is ok and necessary for it to work. But typically it’s around 70% to kill viruses, and it is not the only ingredient. I don’t comment on products without a full list, as they may be elaving out ingredients that are not safe. I can’t take responsibility without that information.

      This is fine, but you typically don’t need to worry about eyebrow pencils. They’re a wax that creates a layer that sits on the skin and is almost impossible to absorb, very similar to eyeliners. More info here: Pregnancy Safe Makeup

    Hi, Doctor.
    I’m looking for a substitute firming soap or lotion for Mustela firming gel since it is quite expensive.
    My pre-pregnancy soap was Gluta White and Firm Soap but I stopped using it when I got pregnant.

    May I ask for your help if this is okay to use while nursing:
    Ingredients:
    Palm Oil, Pelm Kernel Oil, Tetrasodium EDTA, CI
    77891, Bioflavonoids, Algae, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Centella Asiatica, Carnitine, Tea Salicylate, D-Panthenol, Claire Blanche, L-Carnitine, L-Tartrate, Glutathione, Fragrane.

    for centella asiatica – I know this is safe but for the other ingredients like algae extract i’m worried that it will be like as sage extract the may affect the milk supply of the mother. Clair Blanche is a whitening complex composed of extracts of peony, scutellaria, and saxifraga flowers, glutathione, Arbutin, Kojic Acid, N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine.
    I am planning to use the soap just for the legs and thighs since I get fatty legs full of cellulite when I got pregnant.

    Secondly, I just want to ask question for palmer’s cocoa butter firming lotion – is it also safe while nursing? because on its page it is only belong on pregnancy safe category. Just checking with you since when I read the ingredients, panax ginseng extract, does it affect milk supply?
    is it safe to use only on concentrated areas like tummy, legs and thighs? please advise.
    Apologizing for the long message.

      You need to avoid arbutin and kojic acid while pregnant and nursing.

      Everything listed as pregnancy safe is also fine for nursing. Topical use of extracts and such is not enough to worry about milk supply.

    Hello! I am a new mom and found your site absolutely priceless throughout my entire pregnancy! So first off, THANK YOU! I am now nursing, and while I love the sections specific to that, I just want to clarify that anything listed as “Safe for Pregnancy” is also “Safe for Nursing” — is that correct? I might just be being paranoid, but wanted to confirm before assuming 🙂

    Hi, I’ve just come across your site and am so impressed with all the information you’ve shared.

    I have a question about a specific ingredient that I am unsure about: candelilla wax.

    I have tried to research it myself but can find no useful information. Everything I have read says that ‘pregnant and nursing women, and those with sensitive skin, are advised not to use Candelilla Wax without the advice of their medical professional’.

    But nothing further explains why! I’ve asked my obstetrician about it and he had no clue why either.

    Is this something you could maybe help with? Or would it be better to just avoid it until my pregnancy ends?

    Thanks so much!

      1-3 aren’t complete lists, they just say they’re 60-70% alcohol, but none of your % add up to 100%.
      I don’t review nail products as you don’t need to worry about them- your nails are very thick and don’t absorb anything. Just use them in a well ventilated space.

       There is not enough information out there to cause concern in the medical community. There are websites that look at some evidence and reach very different conclusions than the study authors do even, this is one of the reasons a lot of the medical community doesn’t like the EWG for example. You can find websites that dislike every single ingredient out there.

     I found these two primarily organic skin care lines that I think are quite wonderful…
     Was hoping you could do a brand page for them bc I don’t see them on your list.
     1) cocokind: in particular I was wondering about their resurfacing mask – it has a retinol alternative that I am unfamiliar with and was wondering if safe
     2) beauty by earth: (sunscreens and self tanners in particular!). Thanks so much, your website is super informative!

       Both the foundation, blush stick and contour stick have a cell culture in it. I’m not sure if that’s stem cells or not (sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends on the brand). My concerns about stem cells are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. All 3 are otherwise ok for pregnancy and nursing

       The highlighter doesn’t have that ingredient and is fine for pregnancy and nursing

     Thank you so much for the research you’ve done to make this list. It has helped me out so much during my pregnancy.

     I was also wondering if you wanted to review a brand called Alima Pure. I think they are considered a clean brand and they have minimal ingredients for all their products.

     There are a couple cream blushes of theirs that I wanted to use on my lips. Based on the ingredients, do you think this is safe?

     Bijou: Caprylic/CapricTriglyceride (coconut derived), Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Squalane (oliver derived), Silica, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Powder, Tocopherol, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil [+/- CI 77742, CI 77891, CI 77491]

     Blossom: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Squalane, Silica, Oryza (Rice) Sativa Powder,Tocopherol, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil [+/- CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77491 (Iron Oxide), CI 45410 (Red 27 Lake)]

     Here is a link to their site, where the cream blushes are.

     Again, thank you for all your research.

     Hi, thank you for this great service. Please could you let me know your thoughts on this product “v-tox” by Linda Meredith skincare. The product is described as pregnancy safe on the website but also marked as containing vitamin a which is causing me confusion.

     I have also read on different websites that propylene glycol should be avoided during pregnancy?

     Thank you

       The vitamin A must be in one of the extracts, brands like to call that out sometimes, but it isn’t something to worry about if in an extract. To me this looks fine for pregnancy and nursing.
       Propylene glycol is one of those that I’m not worried about. ingredients I’m not worried about during pregnancy

         Thank you! Yes, I think the vitamin a is in the portulaca oleracea extract. That’s good to know it’s safe!

     Hi 🙂

     Thank you for creating this great content! I was wondering (might sound silly) if it’s ok to wear nail varnish around newborn/ babies when breastfeeding. I am looking in particular at Zoya nail polish:

     Some shades contain: Silica, CI 77019, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Aluminum Calcium Sodium Silicate, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Tin Oxide, Alumina, Talc

     May contain (+/-):CI 77891, CI 15850, CI 15850, CI 15880, CI 19140, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 77510, CI 77266, CI 42090, CI 77163, CI 77000, CI 77742, CI 60725, CI 77007, CI 77288, CI 47005, CI 77820

       1- has bakuchiol, which I’m currently screening out as a retinoid, so avoid in pregnancy and nursing.
       It also has willow bark which needs to be avoided in pregnancy.
       2- Glycolic acid, which also needs to be avoided in pregnancy.

     Hi, I was wondering if these CareTouch hand wipes are okay for pregnancy? They have 75% alcohol and list purified water and glycerol as the inactive ingredients. Is Glycerol okay as an ingredient in a hand wipe for pregnant women?

     Hi there, I am really finding your blog incredibly helpful. How can I tell if a product ingredient is a hydroxy acid? You mention that all of they hydroxy acids, alpha, beta and poly, have pregnancy categories that recommend avoidance. So how can I tell if Isostearic Acid or Polyhydroxystearic Acid are not hydroxy acids? They are in so many of the foundations. Many thanks for your help in advance, Alisa

       Christine said:

       There’s only a few actual hydroxy acids, neither of those are them. Glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid and gluconolactone are all hydroxy acids, but you don’t need to worry about lactic acid.

         Thanks so much. Are glycolic acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid and gluconolactone the only hydroxy acids to look out for? What about Linoleic Acid? It’s in the Studio Skin Full Coverage 24 hour foundation by Smashbox that you’ve already reviewed but I know the brand changes it’s formulation frequently and I believe you may have reviewed it a couple years ago. Here are the ingredients:

           Yes, those are the ones to worry about. Linoleic Acid isn’t an acid like you think of, it’s a fatty acid already found in your body. Info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoleic_acid

           This product is still fine for pregnancy and nursing.

             Ah, thank you so much! You also said my La Roche Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cream Cleanser is okay and it has myristic acid, stearic acid and palmitic acid in it. I wasn’t sure if these acids were okay either but since you said the ingredients are okay, they must be part of the “good” bunch of acids. 🙂 🙂 So confusing with all the acids!

       No. Tocopherol is vitamin E, hydroquinone is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that helps with hyperpigmentation.

         I just want to make sure that I am understanding correctly so I do what is best. You are saying there are no safe sunless tanners specifically for pregnancy? Or in general, avoid sunless tanners for everyone?

         You would advise to avoid sunless tanners completely during pregnancy and nursing, correct?

           My entire blog is NOT pregnancy beauty. This is a regular beauty blog that happens to have pregnancy products. That post is about sunless tanners in general.
           I’ve added some reviews here and there because even though I will state on a brand page that it isn’t safe, people don’t actually read the posts. I can have entire paragraphs in bold and people do not read them. Sunless tanners are not felt to be safe while pregnant (info here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy) and it could be argued that it applies to nursing as well as just in general. It’s actually something that comes up at dermatology conferences, are they at all safe? The general consensus is that it’s better than sun exposure, but not the safest thing due to the systemic absorption, even when not pregnant.

           I have this post about alternatives: pregnancy safe body bronzers and makeup.

       #1 is ok for pregnancy a nd nursing
       #2 might have stem cells? The way a few of them are written is the way some brands disclose stem cells, but it isn’t always stem cells (need to see what they’re advertising). If so, I would say ok for nursing but not pregnancy

         Looks like Dietylenglykolmonoheksyleter (in Norwegian) – it is Diethylene Glycol Monohexyl Ether

       I’m not certain if the leontopodium alpinum (edelweiss) meristem cell culture is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

     Hi!
     Firstly, your website has been a massive help and I can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done, and continue to do, to help people navigate what can feel like an overload of information/ingredients to those of us just wanting to “do better.” So, thank you!!
     I’ve had to say goodbye to my beloved Pureology and have had quite a time finding another moisturizing shampoo sans Salicylic acid that I actually like. I think I’ve found a solution, but didn’t see a page for Paul Mitchell products. From what I’ve learned on your site, I think it looks ok, but I’m worried I’m missing something among all the Gly-, -cyl, -tyl, -ryl (as my eyes start to cross about half way down these ingredient lists).

     Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lavender Mint Moisturizing Shampoo:

     Aqua (Water, Eau), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Butylene Glycol, Decyl Glucoside, Dimethicone, PCA Dimethicone, Cocamide MIPA, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Lavandula (Lavender) Angustifolia Extract, Mentha Spicata Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Glycine, Tyrosine, Cysteine, Leucine, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Distearate, IPDI/PEG-15 Soyamine Copolymer Dimer Dilinoleate, Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate, Hydrogenated Polydecene, PEG-150 Distearate, Polyquaternium-7, Cetyl Triethylmonium Dimethicone PEG-8 Succinate, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol, Sodium Coco PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Panthenyl Ethyl Ether, Citric Acid, Polyquaternium-10, Histidine HCl, Disodium EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Magnesium Chloride, Magnesium Nitrate, Glycerin, Parfum (Fragrance), Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene, Linalool.

     Am I good? Are the lavender and/or tea tree a problem in what I’d imagine are relatively diluted concentrations?
     Thanks again for all of your help!!

       Looks ok for both pregnancy and nursing, including the tea tree and lavender. This one is nice, but look at the Briogeo products as well. I don’t remember off hand if they have theirs pregnancy safe, but that’s a great brand too.

       And my eyes go buggy too reading through all of these lists! That’s why I refuse to review products on IG actually, I have to highlight as I read, sometimes I need to look things up and that’s much easier with copy and paste, etc. But it’s a lot of chemical names!

     Hi Dr,
     Hello from Australia
     Firstly, thank you for your blog and website, it’s been a great help! 😊
     I have a cosmeceutical brand not listed that I would like to double to check before use. My skin is quite dry, so it is defiantly time I switch up my routine. It’s so hard to feel confident in the ingredients, considering so many have ‘alternative names’ and can’t even be pronounced properly lol This particular company also has a ‘plant-based, anti-ageing alternative for vitamin A’ that I’ve listed last (Bakuchiol Peptides). I am a little hesitant but interested in your opinion.

     Thanks a million for your time. I look forward to your response.

Those ingredients are fine, but remember that you don’t need to worry about mascara at all, since it only touches your lashes, which are dead hairs and can’t absorb anything.

         Sorry I have a quick question. You mentioned that you are counting bakuciol as a retinoid. Just for my interest, does that mean it “is” a retinoid? Or in the same family?

           Christine said:

           I don’t know for sure if it is. I do know that brands have been discussing in ways they don’t other natural vitamin A products (like Rosehip Oil) in particular the way it functions. I haven’t been able to verify what the chemical structure of the active ingredient is, what it’s mechanism is exactly, etc. Just many brands are basically calling it an actual retinoid, which is the chemical family with the strongest link to birth defects. So out of an abundance of caution, until more info comes out I’m treating it as if it is a retinoid. And it doesn’t really matter if it “is” a retinoid or in the same family, since the retinoids are actually a family of chemicals. So that’s semantics really. I hope that makes sense!

     Hi There,
     First of all, I think you do an amazing job reviewing all of these brands, so bravo to you! Thank you!
     Second, I am recently pregnant and performed a Google search on the Best Skincare Brands for Pregnancy. The Bump.com provides a good list That I’ve been referencing in addition to EWG.org and your 15minutebeauty.com website. Here is the link:
     https://www.thebump.com/a/5-pregnancy-safe-skin-care-lines-created-by-moms
     I noticed that that there are 2 specific brands on this list that you do not cover on your website, Basqnyc and Nine Naturals. I’m wondering if and when you might review their products since they claim to be pregnancy skin care lines?
     One of the other brands on the list by TheBump, is Belli Beauty, which you already cover.
     Reason I’m asking is because there were some products I was interested in purchasing from Basq and Nine Naturals, but am now concerned since they are not listed on your site or EWG.org.

     Hello!! First, thank you so much for all that you do!! You make skincare so much easier for us pregnant/breastfeeding mama’s. Because of you, I have a peace of mind knowing that I can safely have a skin care routine while breastfeeding. I recently got into skin care from watching Susan Yara. She recently launch her skin care line called Naturium. I was wondering if you will add her product listings here in the future. For the mean time, I wanted to kindly ask when you have time, if you wouldn’t mind looking to see if this Intense Sleeping mask is safe to use while breastfeeding.

     Here is the quick product description that’s on their website:
     Our intensive sleeping cream is formulated with nutrient-dense ingredients and advanced epidermal lipids to transform skin, overnight. Formulated with plant squalane, kakadu plum and a specialized blend of plant-based triglycerides, it delivers potent actives for visibly hydrated, brighter and plumper skin when you need it most.

     Here is the link for the mask:

     https://naturium.com/collections/moisturizer/products/intense-overnight-sleeping-cream

     And here’s the ingredient list for the product that was listed in their website:

     Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Squalane, Propanediol, Glyceryl Stearate, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Phospholipids, Sodium Hydroxide, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Sphingolipids, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Phenoxyethanol, Betaine, Honey, Potassium Sorbate, Polysorbate 20, Hexylene Glycol.

     Again, thank you so much and stay blessed.

     Hi Doc,
     I was wondering if you’d look over the Public Beauty Lash Enhance Serum:

     POWERFUL PEPTIDES
     Three separate super-proteins your lashes can’t wait to drink up. These healting, restorative amino-acids boost the overall health and appearance of your lashes.

     APPLE STEM CELL EXTRACT
     Extracted directly from Green Apple Cells, this can reduce the appearance of aging and combat thin-looking eyelashes. Give your lashes a natural yet bold look.

     GREEN TEA EXTRACT
     Soothe, hydrate, and brighten. Green Tea packs a triple punch to prevent early signs of aging, dark circles, and eye-area puffiness.

     LAVENDER FLOWER EXTRACT
     Detoxifying, healing, and naturally balancing. Known to aid the detoxing process too.

     THE FULL LIST OF INGREDIENTS
     Contains: *organic aloe barbadensis leaf juice, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, myristoyl pentapeptide-17, myristoyl hexapeptide-16, biotinoyl tripeptide-1, panthenol, phospholipids, *organic glycerin, sodium pca, isomalt, sodium benzoate, malus domestica fruit cell culture extract, *organic camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract, biotin, vitamin e, *organic euphrasia officinalis (eyebright) extract, argania spinosa sprout cell culture extract, lecithin, cellulose gum, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin. *Certified Organic

       Christine said:

       I’m not certain if the malus domestica fruit cell culture extract or argania spinosa sprout cell culture extract are a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.
