Pregnancy safe beauty products can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from Gold Bond as of 3/13/2023 If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.

I’m a doctor, a mommy and a bit of a beauty addict. If you let me, I can take 2 hours to get ready in the morning. Really. I'm on a quest for faster beauty that works!
I am so grateful I stumbled upon your site. We just started trying to conceive for baby #2 and had been using the triple action foot cream for about 3 days. Also, I’ve been using Countertime for 4 months while at the tail end of nursing. I’m feeling so bad now.
No need to feel bad! Some discussion here: You’ve been using a product with a “bad” ingredient

Hello,
I was wondering if retinyl palmitate is safe for pregnancy since is a type of retinol. It is present in the Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Aloe’s formula.
Ingredients: Water, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Glycerin, Stearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Petrolatum, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Steareth-21, Tocopheryl Acetate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Niacinamide, Panthenol, Jojoba Esters, Distearyldimonium Chloride, Stearamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Ceramide 2, Polysorbate 60, Methyl Gluceth-2, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Propylene Glycol, Cetyl Alcohol, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Diazolidinyl Urea, Silk Amino Acids, Methylparaben, Potassium Hydroxide, Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Propylparaben, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Tribehenin, Butylene Glycol, PEG-10 Phytosterol, Fragrance, EDTA, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12.
Thank you so much!
You should avoid all kinds of retinoids, there isn’t a “safe” version.
I don’t see anything of concern in this ingredient list, are you sure it has a retinoid? It isn’t listed here, and retinyl palmitate isn’t one that the FDA mandates to be listed separately under active ingredients.
In the Gold Bond Overnight lotion, is the melatonin okay? It lists “melatonin and antioxidants” on the front. I just wanted to double check. Here are the ingredients:
INGREDIENTS:WATER, GLYCERIN, HYDROXYETHYL UREA, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER EXTRACT, DIMETHICONE, COCOS NUCIFERA (COCONUT) OIL, JOJOBA ESTERS, GLUCONOLACTONE, NIACINAMIDE, PETROLATUM, STEARETH-21, CETYL ALCOHOL, DISTEARYLDIMONIUM CHLORIDE, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE, BEHENTRIMONIUM METHOSULFATE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, STEARYL ALCOHOL, THEOBROMA CACAO (COCOA) SEED BUTTER, SODIUM HYALURONATE, MELATONIN, LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA (LAVENDER) EXTRACT, CHAMOMILLA RECUTITA (MATRICARIA) FLOWER EXTRACT, ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS (ROSEMARY) LEAF EXTRACT, ZINGIBER OFFICINALE (GINGER) ROOT EXTRACT, ACACIA FARNESIANA FLOWER EXTRACT, HYDROLYZED JOJOBA ESTERS, CERAMIDE NP, CERAMIDE NS, CERAMIDE EOS, CERAMIDE EOP, CERAMIDE AP, PANTHENOL, BISABOLOL, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, 3-0-ETHYL ASCORBIC ACID, CAPROOYL PHYTOSPHINGOSINE, CAPROOYL SPHINGOSINE, STEARAMIDOPROPYL PG-DIMONIUM CHLORIDE PHOSPHATE, CHOLESTEROL, CETEARETH-25, BEHENIC ACID, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, ISOPROPYL MYRISTATE, POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, METHYLPARABEN, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, EDTA, FRAGRANCE
Yes, melatonin is fine. It’s already found in your body naturally.
