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 Purlisse as of 8/28/2024. 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.

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Hi Dr, I see above this is listed as not pregnancy and nursing safe? Maybe you can clarify the sunscreens in these are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, aren’t these physical sunscreens and are safe? I’ve listed other products with these ingredients in them before and you have told me they are safe. I’m just wondering more on the sunscreen front? Where is the chemical sunscreen in this? Thanks!

Water, Homosalate, Isotridecyl Isononanoate, Zinc Oxide, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Titanium Dioxide, CI 77492, Butylene Glycol, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Arbutin, Synthetic Beeswax, CI 77491, CI 77499, Sodium Chloride, Tribehenin, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbitan Isostearate, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Cymbopogon Martini Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Michelia Alba Flower Oil, Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Leaf Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Tocopherol, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Oil, 1,2-Hexanediol, Bacillus Ferment, Cornus Officinalis Fruit Extract, Crataegus Oxyacantha Fruit Extract, Gardenia Jasminoides Fruit Extract, Lycium Chinense Fruit Extract, Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, Linalool, Limonene
The lists always say which ingredients are an issue. This is one to avoid in both pregnancy and nursing due to the Arbutin. Bakuchiol they discuss it a LOT on the page, I don’t see it listed in the full ingredients which make me think one or the other is off. But Bakuchiol I screen as a retinoid, so you need to avoid that also in both pregnancy and nursing.
Re sunscreens, yes zinc and titanium are both pregnancy safe, but there are often chemical sunscreens included also. In this case the #2 ingredient after water is Homosalate, which is a chemical sunscreen.
Awesome, Thanks so much!
I don’t see anything about the Yuzu + orange moisturizer in any catergory. Is this safe to use in pregnancy?
As mentioned in the post, I need a full ingredient list to review your product as I’ve reviewed all of the ones I have access to. More info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety. Note, I do not follow links from readers, I need the actual list. Thanks!
That’s too bad for the Perfect Glow BB cream. They must have changed their formula because the one I had used before had active ingredients of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for SPF. Not sure if ethylheyxl methoxycinnamate is okay though.
No, that’s a chemical sunscreen.

Thanks for spotting that! Interesting that they added arbutin as it’s actually ON the “free from” list on that product’s page? So strange.
I’ve fixed the list.
The strawberry moisturizer looks fine for pregnancy and nursing
Thanks. I was worried about the Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-9, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, had found conflicting info when I gogoogled these.
