Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Kora Organics

Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Kora Organics

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 Kora Organics as of 4/12/2023. 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.

Yes, I still answer questions about product safety! You must follow these guidelines. Any rude comments or those not following the guidelines will be removed. This means full product name, ingredient list, and each product must either be on the proper brand page or the brand list page. I won't accept comments in the wrong spot.

You can check the pregnancy beauty FAQ for many answers. Also check out which makeup and hair products I think you should worry about. Additional info about: perfume, nail polish and sunless tanners

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your post, I have found your blog very useful. I am so confused because the ‘Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum’ and the ‘Tumeric Brightening and Exfoliating Mask’ are advertised by Miranda Kerr on her YouTube channel as being in her pregnancy skincare regime, as well as on the KORA Organic Instagram page under a pregnancy skincare instagram story. I am unsure why they are allowed to promote products specifically for pregnancy that are actually unsafe? Is this not very misleading?

      There’s not really definitive data out there about most ingredients for pregnancy safety. I’m more restrictive than most on my pregnancy safe criteria, there’s a bit of discussion on that here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

        Shelby said:

        Hello! I love this website and what you do to help women navigate what is and isn’t safe to use while pregnant. I just wanted to follow up about the Kora Turmeric Exfoliating mask. You mentioned it isn’t safe while pregnant because it contains Salicylic Acid. I went over the ingredients a few times and it did not mention Salicylic anywhere. Could you explain how that ingredient is found that makes it unsafe? If it doesn’t have that in it I’d really like to use it. Thank you!

          I think it might be in the process of being reformulated. Note, I haven’t updated this list since 2021 (I’m working my way through the alphabet always, it’s coming up soon), but the ingredient lists between the brand and Sephora are different. When items are updated, Sephora will change the URL of the page (they create a nearly identical page, they don’t just update it), and my links break. My sephora link isn’t broken yet, so I think the brand has updated, Sephora has not, and I would be very careful about checking your actual packaging to see if you have the old or new formula.

          This is the ingredient list from Sephora, I’ve bolded the salicylic acid, which IS present there. It’s not on the Kora Organics list.
          Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) Seed Powder, Maranta Arundinacea (Arrowroot) Root Powder, Lactobacillus Ferment, Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Powder, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) Fruit Oil, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Populus Tremuloides Bark Extract, Lactobacillus, Morinda Citrifolia (Noni) Fruit Powder, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder, Sclerotium Gum, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Powder, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Cetearyl Glucoside, Juniperus Virginiana (Cedarwood) Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Salicylic Acid, Water, Sodium Phytate, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Potassium Sorbate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Glucose, Alcohol, Quartz, Sorbic Acid, Limonene

    KORA NONI GLOW FACE OIL contains clove flower extract. But I’ve searched onine, some say clove should be avoided. What do you think of this?

      Christine said:

      Everything I’m worried about is here:
      skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
      If I was worried about that ingredient I would have screened it out. My list is conservative for the mainstream medical community, but you can find info out there to support avoiding pretty much everything possible, it’s a matter of what sources you feel are appropriate.

        I read on KellyMom that we should avoid ginseng while BF as it can be harmful to baby. Should we avoid this eye cream since it has ginseng Extract in it?

        • 2.7.23
          Christine said:

          You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. It’s not considered an ingredient to avoid by the medical community. My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. In particular, we don’t recommend avoidance of eating ginseng, which is a much bigger exposure than topical.

    Hello! Thank you for all the knowledge that you share 🙂 I just wanted to clarify about the Kora Organics Turmeric Moisturizer — the comments, there are several replies saying it is ok to use while breastfeeding, but above that is listed that it is not suitable for either pregnancy or breastfeeding? I have been using it during breastfeeding, and now am not sure. Thank you so much for your help 🙂

      Christine said:

      I recently (within the last month) added the problem ingredient, Bidens Pilosa, to my list of ingredients to avoid in pregnancy and nursing as I found evidence in the literature that it hits the same receptors as retinoids. I don’t know that it is in all versions of the moisturizer, as I do think this moisturizer has been reformulated at least once (typically I can tell that’s happened as Sephora removes a product and then reintroduces it as new), you can likely see if your version has it by checking the packaging.
      Retinoids themselves are semi-controversial during nursing, I mostly recommend avoiding them because so many other physicians have started doing so, I don’t know of any “bad” evidence in the literature to make this change, but it’s definitely becoming more widespread to recommend avoidance. I’m pretty conservative that way. I hope that helps!
