My pregnancy safe makeup and beauty guide has become very popular, and readers have been asking a lot of questions about pregnancy safety! One of the major issues I’ve been having in discussing pregnancy safe skincare is sunscreen. I feel like I tell everyone that emails me that their sunscreen is not safe, and they need to find a pregnancy safe sunscreen, and I’m sorry but I don’t have one to recommend. All of the sunscreens I used when I was pregnant have been reformulated and I can no longer recommend them.
I do not recommend any chemical sunscreens (if you’re not sure what those are, check out my sunscreen guide for more information) as those are actually absorbed by the skin, they’ve even been picked up in urine tests! While many of these ingredients are likely safe, due to ethical reasons it is highly unlikely that clinical trials will ever be completed to prove the safety of these ingredients.
The sunscreens included on this list are all physical sunscreens, with the active ingredient Zinc Oxide, and usually (but not always, check individual products to be sure) Titanium Dioxide as well. This means that all of these products are full spectrum UV coverage.
Ask about Product Safety
Note I have closed the comments here as I had many questions about products that are already on the site. If your product isn’t here, please check the list of pregnancy safe beauty brands. Make sure you look for variations on your product’s name, frequently brands will rename a product very slightly. You can ask about your product on the brand specific page or the list of brands if your brand is not included.
Note: The most up to date product information is always found on brand specific pages. I update those more frequently than round up posts like this one. This post was last updated on 3/3/2024, I have checked all of the ingredient lists below as of today’s date.

It is not, due to the chemical sunscreens.
Hi girl! Love your content. Would these sunscreens be safe to use during pregnancy? I noticed that the COSRX has titanium oxide but no zinc oxide so I’m not sure if it is even a physical sunscreen.

Both have chemical sunscreens in them, so I’d avoid them.
I used Cerave AM lotion all throughout my pregnancy. Eek! What are the risks? Is there anything in particular I should be concerned about or just lesson learned for the next one?
And, now that I’m nursing (and no longer pregnanat)—any reason to switch to a different AM moisturizer or is the Cerave AM safe?
Thank you so much!
It’s fine for nursing! We just don’t really know what the risks are for many of the ingredients. Probably nothing to worry about at all, just keep it in mind for your next pregnancy and enjoy your perfect baby!
Hi Christine, thank you so much for this website! I wish I had found you when I was pregnant with my first. I didn’t use anything on my face (really!!).
This time around I need some help to cover my dark circles and blemishes. Can I seek your help to see if this is safe

Thanks in advance
This isn’t safe, you’re missing the active sunscreen ingredients here and they’re not all physical sunscreens, so I”d avoid this one. As well there’s a salicylate further down the list. Sorry!
Thanks for your reply! Have used it a couple of times but won’t use it anymore.
Do you think it will be okay when nursing or should I bin it?
Also I have this sunscreen in my vanity. Am I good to use it?
Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face Dry-touch SPF 50
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Zinc Oxide 21.6% w/w.
CONTAINS: Preservatives: Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol.
Many thanks
I’m sorry, I can’t comment on that sunscreen as most of the ingredient list is missing.
Oh, that’s all I can find on the tube and online.
Thanks for the reply though.
Hey there! We are trying to conceive and I was just curious if this new sunscreen by CeraVe would be ok?
Ingredients-
Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Ceramide NP (Ceramide 3), Ceramide AP (Ceramide 6-II), Ceramide EOP (Ceramide 1), Phytosphingosine, Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Crosspolymer, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Cholesterol, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Hydroxyacetophenone, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate.
Thank you so much!
You’re missing part of the ingredient list- the active ingredients (the sunscreens) aren’t listed here. Which one is this?
Oh! Oops! It’s avobenzone 3%, homosalate 10%, octisalate 5%, and octocrylene 2.7%.. thank you! If this one isn’t ok, is there a drugstore sunscreen that you do recommend?
That one isn’t pregnancy safe. I have still been looking for a drugstore one to recommend but haven’t found one yet, I’m sorry!
Thanks for this wonderful resource, it’s amazing to be able to check so many products.
Could you confirm whether this facial sunscreen is pregnancy safe?

Also just wanted to say I’d love to see a list on your skincare page for “Origins” and “Glamglow” products when you have a chance – your website is my new go-to.
Thanks again.
This one looks fine to me!
I’ve got both of those brands on my list to do. I’m a bit worried about the Origins ingredients as they’re owned by Estee Lauder, and they make the ingredients hard to find. I did Clinique recently (also owned by EL) and had a reader point out that the ingredients I had looked at on the Sephora website were incomplete and in a bad way! I had to pull the entire list from the post. I’m hoping that origins is more accurate, but…. we’ll see!
Your resources have been so helpful! Was wondering if this was ok to use while pregnant?

The It Cosmetics BB and CC Creams aren’t safe during pregnancy.
Would this be safe while breastfeeding?
Anything ok for pregnancy is fine for nursing
Omg! I’ve been using this cc cream the whole pregnancy. Im already 31 weeks. Should I be worried?
Well, it does have some ingredients that I would avoid in pregnancy such as the sunscreens, the salicylate and licorice root extract. A lot of those are more theoretical risks (without proven problems, we just haven’t proven that they’re safe). The worst ingredient while pregnant (retinoid) isn’t in this one. I think a lot of women don’t think about their makeup and skincare at all. There’s enough other things to worry about and lose sleep over (which let’s face it, is hard to get much of in the 3rd trimester), so i wouldn’t stress about it. Just put it aside to use after delivery, and use this as an excuse to try something new for fall. 🙂
Thank you for all of your lists of safe products. Throughout my pregnancy and nursing years, I have used yours lists for products. My skin is dry and I’m having trouble finding a good night cream in my 40s while nursing. I want to try the Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore because I’ve tried so many night creams on your list and have yet to purchase one that is a good fit for my dry skin. In addition, I figured I’d also pick us a safe moisturizer, but the Skinceuticals one you have listed here is for oily skin. My question is this: is the moisturizer Skinceuticals Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30 (it is formulated for dry skin as well as others)safe?
Again, thank you so much for your time and service to us! You have truly been a blessing.
The Triple Lipid Restore is fine! My skin is getting drier too and I’ve been planning on writing more about dry skin, anti-aging in dry skin, etc. I just haven’t gotten there yet. Let me know if you like this one, it looks really good!
That sunscreen has chemical sunscreens, so I wouldn’t consider it to be a safe for pregnancy. I hope that helps!
Thank you. Ugh, I’ll still be looking for a day moisturizer with a safe sunscreen that is not just for oily skin. 🙂
What about “Your Skin But Better CC cream with spa 50”? Is this safe?

This has topical sunscreens and should be avoided
Hi,
Thanks so much for this post. Is this Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC cream safe during pregnancy? If not, could you please specify which ingredient(s) is not good? Thanks!
Active Ingredient: Zinc Oxide 20%
Juice Beauty proprietary blend of fruit stem cells: apple buds, grape buds & lemon leaf.
Inactive Ingredients: Aloe barbadensis (organic aloe juice/jus d’aloès bio)*, cocos nucifera (organic coconut oil/huile de noix de coco bio)*, pyrus malus (organic apple juice/jus de pomme bio)*, vitis vinifera (organic white grape juice/jus de raisin blanc bio)*, caprylic/capric triglyceride†, sorbitan stearate, ricinus communis (castor seed oil /huile de graines de ricin), polyglyceryl-10 laurate, magnesium sulfate, helianthus annuus (organic sunflower seed oil/huile de graines de tournesol bio)*, simmondsia chinensis (organic jojoba seed oil/huile de graines de jojoba bio)*, tocopherol (Vitamin E/vitamine E), magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (Vitamin C/vitamine C), sodium hyaluronate†, malus domestica (apple fruit cell culture extract/extrait de culture cellulaire de pomme), vitis vinifera (grape fruit cell extract/extrait de cellule de raisin), citrus medica limonum (lemon leaf cell extract/extrait de cellule des feuilles de citron), phenethyl alcohol, ethylhexylglycerin†, citrus reticulata (mandarin oil/huile de mandarine), citrus aurantium (petitgrain oil/huile de petit grain). May contain: iron oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)
I’m not recommending any of the Juice Beauty Stem Cellular products based upon the company’s description of apple stem cells penetrating down into the skin and proliferating. I don’t think they could really do that, I’ve talked to a few dermatologists about it and that doesn’t describe how apple stem cells would work in their minds at all, but with the brand saying those things I would not use any of the products with this line while pregnant.
Thank you for this resourceful website! Are these two products with SPF safe to use during pregnancy? Thanks!
Supergoop! Invincible Setting Powder SPF 45:
Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Triethoxycaprylysilane, Nylon-6/12, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Olive Glycerides, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ceramide 3. May Contain +/- Iron Oxides (CI 77492, 77491, 77499), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).

Water, Ethyl Macadamiate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Propanediol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Polysorbate 80, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Echinacea Purpurea Root Extract, Aronia Melanocarpa Fruit Extract, Hydrolyzed Verbascum Thapsus Flower, Tagetes Erecta Flower Extract, Alteromonas Ferment Extract, 7-Dehydrocholesterol, Zea Mays (Corn) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Malic Acid, Tocopherol, Myristic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Panthenol, Stearic Acid, Polyglyceryl-6 Isostearate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Alumina, Behenic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, Caprylyl, Methicone, Dimethicone, Cyclohexasiloxane, Isohexadecane, Triethoxysilylethyl, Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Hexyl Dimethicone, Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl, Dimethicone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Behenyl Alcohol, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Cellulose Gum, Sorbitan Oleate, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, Sodium Phytate.
The ingredients of the supergoop are ok, but note that you don’t need to worry about powders (more info in my pregnancy safe makeup post), but also you should know that in order to get SPF 45 you’ll need about 1/3 of that entire container on your face…. I would NOT rely on that product to get your SPF, but as a mid-day touchup it’s probably ok.
The Farmacy product is fine.
Thank you so much for your prompt response! I will check out your post on pregnancy safe makeup! Thanks so much again!
Thank you so much for this helpful post! I’ve been using the Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation Concentrate. Could you tell me if you think it’s safe? I’d really appreciate it!

Hello,
I saw someone else post this with an incomplete ingredient list. It’s Neutrogena Sheer Zinc face sunscreen. Is this safe to use? The active ingredient is zinc oxide (21.6%) and these are the rest of the ingredients:
Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Octyldodecyl Citrate Crosspolymer, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Phenyl Trimethicone, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Dimethicone, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Glycerin, Ethyl Methicone,Cetyl Dimethicone, Silica, Colloidal Oatmeal, Tocopheryl Acetate, Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Flower/Leaf/Stem Juice, Glyceryl Behenate, Phenethyl Alcohol, Caprylyl Glycol, Cetyl Dimethicone/Bis-Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer, Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer, Sodium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin
If it’s not safe would you mind pointing out which ingredient so I know for future reference? Thank you very much for this and ALL your lists!
Looks ok to me!
Hello!
I need to add my thanks for your website! And maybe a product update – I just bought the Korres yoghurt veil as you listed above and it contains a lot of nonsense including avobenzone. So, perhaps they reformulated. Just FYI for your list.
Doh! That’s not the info I had. I’ve just taken it off of the list. Thank you for the update!
Hi, nice to see your helpful website, but I need your help too about the sunscreen i used. It’s from Think Baby spf 50.
Is it safe for pregnancy?
Here i put the ingredients:
Purified water (0), aloe barbadensis leaf juice extract (0), capric caprylic triglycerides (0), sorbitan stearate (coconut based) (1), methyl abietate (pine wood resin) (0), vegetable glycerin (0), cetyl dimethicone (0), hydrogenated castor oil (0), magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) (0), sunflower oil (0), jojoba oil (0), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (0), tocopherols (vitamin E) (1), olive oil (0), raspberry seed oil (0), cranberry seed oil (0), hyaluronic acid (made from vegetable) (0), glucose oxidase & lactoperoxidate (0), papaya (0).
I’m afraid when I read magnesium sulfate, hyaluronic acid, cetyl dimethicone, capric caprylic triglycerides.
Because I never heard it before
I really need your help, is it really safe for pregnancy?
Thank you so much
This one is fine. Magnesium sulfate is just a salt of magnesium, hyaluronic acid isn’t even an acid, it is a large molecule that can’t penetrate down into the skin (though your skin makes it also so it is found in the skin) and attracts and holds on to water, so it is a moisturizer. The Cetyl dimethicone is a silicone used to help it feel slippery and aid in application, the capric caprylic triglycerides is derived from coconut and glycerin and also moisturizes.
Hello! I feel like I search high and low for safe cosmetics. It can be discouraging. Thanks for your time. I’m from Canada and so I don’t have as easy as an access to American products. For pregnancy and nursing, what do you think about Burt’s bees BB cream :
And how do I know even if one ingredient here is not safe ?
It’s like a whole other language. I’ve tried to familiar myself with certain words to stay away from.but also get lost when it comes to natural and essential oil ingredients because there’s ones to avoid too. I find this a struggle and am happy to have your website as a resource.
It says key ingredients:
Medical Ingredients (Light Shade): Titanium Dioxide 5.3% and Zinc Oxide 7.0% Medical Ingredients (Light/Medium Shade): Titanium Dioxide 4.7% and Zinc Oxide 7.0% Medical Ingredients (Medium Shade): Titanium Dioxide 4.7% and Zinc Oxide 7.0% Inactive Ingredients (All Shades): Water, Glycerin, Decyl Oleate, Isoamyl Cocoate, Isoamyl Laurate, Octyldodecanol, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Alcohol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Stearic Acid, Morinda Citrifolia Fruit Extract, Beeswax, Jojoba Esters, Mica, Iron Oxides, Silica, Sorbitan Stearate, Stearyl Alochol, Behenyl Alcohol, Sodium Carboxymethyl C10-16 alkyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, magnesium aluminum silicate, xanthan gum, citric acid, isostearic acid, lecithin, polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate, polyhydroxystearic acid, sodium phytate, trihydroxystearin, alumina, arachidyl alcohol, sorbic acid, alcohol denat., potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, fragrance, phenoxyethanol.

*the “read more” link came with the copy and paste, you don’t have to read more about the product unless you’re interested. Thanks!
This looks safe to me! I think the Canadian version is likely the same as the US, it is one that I really like.
Hi Is this BB cream from MAC pregnancy safe? Active ingredients: Octinoxate, octisalate, oxybenzone, titanium dioxide.
Nope, those are chemical sunscreens
Is the Dr. Jart BB cream still safe for use? I purchased it and love it but reading the ingredients, it contains Arbutin. Would you still recommend this product? Thank you so much for an amazing website!
Thanks for catching that! Arbutin wasn’t on the list to avoid when I made this post (it’s pretty iffy being on there, but I added it because it is so close to hydroquinone, but isn’t the same). I just crossed it off of the list.
Hi there! I clicked on the link to purchase the Neutrogena Pure & Free sunscreen … the link actually takes you to the Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Face product on Amazon, not the Pure & Free. I didn’t realize until I received the product in the mail. Is the Sensitive Skin Face ok to use or should I return for the Pure & Free? Thanks!
It’s the same product, it looks like they’ve updated the name/packaging, but the ingredient list is fine.
Note, I have comment moderation set up on all of my posts, given the popularity of my site I can get thousands (literally) of people a day leaving spam comments, so I have it locked down. I would never be able to find actual people’s comments and answer questions otherwise, that’s why it didn’t autopublish 🙂
Hi, again thanks so much for helping us all with these posts and answering the comments! Could you tell me if these one is safe please? Thanks very much!

Did I understand correctly that Titanium Dioxide & Zinx Oxide are the physical suncsreens and therefore ok? Where can I find the most common chemical sunscreens (just to be informed also when it comes to other products)?
They are the 2 physical sunscreens! You can read more about the chemical sunscreens in my sunscreen guide.
Thank you very much!
Hi, I am very sorry to bother you again. Unfortunatelly it turned out the Weleda product has no coverage and leave stains, so I had to look for another one… Could you please tell me if all the ingreduants in the product below are safe during pregnancy. Thank you so much, this is my last ask.
Dr. Hauschka Tinted Day Cream
Ingredients:
Aqua, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Arachis Hypogaea Oil, Persea Gratissima Oil, Pyrus Cydonia Seed Extract, Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Glycerin, Anthyllis Vulneraria Extract, Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil, Sorbitol, Cera Alba, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Hypericum Perforatum Flower/Leaf Extract, Olus Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Cera, Triticum Vulgare Bran Extract, Parfum*, Limonene*, Linalool*, Citronellol*, Geraniol*, Coumarin*, Citral*, Benzyl Benzoate*, Farnesol*, Sodium Chloride, Zinc Stearate, Lanolin, Sucrose Polystearate, Glyceryl Caprate, Zinc Sulfate, Silica, Lecithin, Lactose, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 77891.
This looks ok to me. What a combination, it stains things but doesn’t give coverage? 🙁
Great, thank you! Hopefully this one works better. Unfortunately I do not live in the US, so I cannot take advantage of your product list above, still trying to find a decent product here in Europe.
Many thanks once again for your great help!

Is this Clinique Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen Fluid for Face safe for pregnancy? Also, what is the acceptable percentage of each physical sunscreen in a product?
Titanium Dioxide 3.2% , Zinc Oxide 2.0%
Water, Dimethicone, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Methyl Trimethicone, Isononyl Isononanoat , Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Diethylhexyl Succinate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Butylene Glycol, Dipentaerythrityl Tri-Polyhydroxystearate, Lauryl Peg-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Hydroxyapatite, Cetyl Peg/Ppg-10/1 Dimethicone, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/Pvp Crosspolymer, Caprylyl Glycol,, Dimethicone Silylate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer-3, Dipropylene Glycol, Dimethicone/Peg-10/15 Crosspolymer, Isostearic Acid, Silica, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Iron Oxides (Ci 77492), Iron Oxides (Ci 77491)
The % acceptable really isn’t something the consumer needs to worry about so much, just look at the SPF, check the ingredients to make sure there is full spectrum UV coverage, and look for the term “broad spectrum” which will indicate that there is adequate coverage for most of that spectrum, rather than all being concentrated in part of the UV spectrum.
Unfortunately this product has a salicylate so I wouldn’t recommend it for pregnancy.

This is fine. I’ve been thinking about trying this one, I have a ton of Chanel that I love. Let me know how it is!
It’s great, but not for oily skin.
I think this product is already discontinued tho.
You should try the vitalumiere aqua, that one is my fav.
The coverage is so light but it makes your skin glowing naturally.

I think Resveratrol is fine actually. The first one looks ok, but I would avoid the 2nd due to the Willow Bark, which has a lot of salicylates in it.

Sorry, this has chemical sunscreens.
Thank you so much for your reply, oh no, i already using it for the past 3 months (now i’m 13 weeks pregnant).. Should i worried about it? i mean is that chemical have a big impact for my baby? i will stop using it from now on.
I wouldn’t lose sleep over it, I’d just switch to something else. Many of the things we say to avoid have theoretical harm and haven’t been proven to be safe, so we say to avoid them. Most women don’t think about this at all for their entire pregnancy.
Thank you so much, your words makes me less worried. ^^ Could you please check about this:

Thank you!
There hasn’t been any information regarding safety of snail secretion for pregnancy, so I always hesitate when it is on an ingredient list. The other ingredients look safe, but really this is up to you how comfortable you feel with the secretion.

Hi, I’m confused. Is Butyloctyl Salicylate pregnancy safe or not? In your pregnancy safe sunscreen post, you replied to reader that Butyloctyl Salicylate was not pregnancy safe. But colorescience facial sunscreen is listed in this post as pregnancy safe and it contains Butyloctyl Salicylate. Is Butyloctyl Salicylate pregnancy safe? Please advise. Thanks!
I do not consider it to be pregnancy safe as it is a salicylate. Note that some brands seem to have very different ideas about what it safe, I can not take responsibility for their posts.

Sorry, this has chemical sunscreens
Which ingredient(s) are the chemical sunscreens? Thank you!
It’s the Ethylhexyl Methoxycrylene. Which is odd as it claims to be mineral based, but that is a sunscreen, they’re just not including it in the “active ingredients” part of the list for some reason.
Interesting, thank you!
What do you think about Yestocarrots Nourishing Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 Broad Spectrum. The ingredients listed below are from the yestocarrots website. The moisturizer I have says “spf broad spectrum” on the bottle and the moisturizer on the website is exactly the same but does not say “broad spectrum” on the bottle.I couldn’t find an ingredient list for the bottle that says broad spectrum…so I’m assuming the ingredients are the same.
Active Ingredients: Zinc Oxide (3.2%), Titanium Dioxide. (2.9%). Inactive Ingredients: Water, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Coco-Glucoside, Fragrance, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract*, Xanthan Gum, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil*, Glyceryl Isostearate, Hydrated Silica, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Tocopherol, Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum*, Maris Limus Extract, Aluminum Hydroxide, Phenethyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Citronellol, d‐Limonene, Geraniol, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Hydroxyisohexyl 3‐Cyclohexone Carboxaldehyde, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Hydroxycitronellal. *Certified Organic Ingredient
Thanks!!
This looks fine to me.
I found the ingredients for the exact broad spectrum formula I have and the ingredients at the end are different then the ingredients i previously listed. I just want to confirm they are safe. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thanks!
Active Ingredients: Zinc Oxide (3.2%), Titanium Dioxide (2.9%).

The Clinique has a salicylate, so I would avoid that. The other one looks ok, though it doesn’t list the active sunscreen ingredients for the SPF. It only says “may contain titanium dioxide” at the end… that makes me think they haven’t included the entire list of ingredients here.

Ok for both 🙂
first of all, really thank you for your time to help us to analyze the products! It takes lots of time to read through the ingredients.
I remember when I search Eye Creams With Retinol in Sephora website, the Fresh black tea eye cream did show up on the list but when I read the ingredients I can’t find retinol. I wonder is retinol also appear in another name? I have checked Tretinoin and Retin A not in the list, perhaps it’s Sephora mistake or they removed from the products?

HOW TO USE
Apply to the face and neck daily, morning and night.
I think that may have been an error on Sephora’s part. I don’t see any retinol in there and the descriptions on their site and Fresh don’t mention anything. It definitely wasn’t there when I reviewed the ingredient list. So I’m not sure why it showed up in that search. It’s definitely safe to use during pregnancy, and I don’t see hidden retinol 🙂
I’m wondering if La Roche-Posay Toleraine Double Repair Face Moisturizer is ok? Thank you for your help!
Active ingredients: Avobenzone 3% (sunscreen) / Homosalate 5% (sunscreen) / Octisalate 5% (sunscreen) / Octocrylene 7% (sunscreen).

You’re missing the actual sunscreen ingredients here, but they’re all chemical ones (Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 8%, Octinoxate 4.5%, Octisalate 5%) and that’s what makes it unsafe. Sorry.

Hello,
Thank you for all the information, doctor. I went to my pharmacy and asked for a mineral sunscreen. I am nursing my 1 year old and they gave me this one: Topicrem Ultra-hydratante SPF 50. They said it was mineral and I could use it on my baby too. In the packaging it doesn’t say it’s mineral but it does say it’s good for babies, children and adults. Could you tell me if it’s safe?

This does have chemical sunscreens (homosalate) and salicylates (tridecyl salicylate) so I wouldn’t use this while pregnant.

Water, snail secretion filtrate, titanium dioxide (CI 77891), ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, glycerin, glycereth-26, arbutin, butylene glycol, cyclomethicone, PEG-10 dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate SE, polysorbate 60, silica, cyclopentasiloxane, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, phenoxyethanol, polymethyl methacrylate, iron oxides (CI 77492), sodium polyacrylate, synthetic fluorphlogopite, fragrance, ethylhexyl stearate, chlorphenesin, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, inulin lauryl carbamate, iron oxides (CI 77491) iron oxides (CI 77499), methicone, grifola frondosa (maitake) mycelium ferment filtrate extract, sh-oligopeptide-1, tricholoma matsutake estract, adenosine, trideceth-6, disodium EDTA.
I would avoid this due to the Snail Secretion and Arbutin.

I’d avoid this one due to the chemical sunscreens
What in this makes it chemical – that way I can stop asking you! hahah
Sunscreen that isn’t zinc or titanium is chemical. This one has Avobenzone and Octinoxate

Hi Dr,
First and foremost, thank you for taking this initiative to consolidate these lists so that all expecting mummys can have a peace of mind when selecting skin care/make up products during the course of pregnancy.
I am currently using this these products and would like to know if the ingredients are safe for use during pregnancy and nursing?
Also, will ingredients in consealers be absorbed into the skin? Should consealers be a cause of concern?

The BB Cream has chemical sunscreens so I would avoid it while pregnant, it’s fine for nursing.. Powders you don’t need to worry about. Concealers mostly sit on the surface of the skin, but some likely does get absorbed.

Hi Christine! Thanks so much for all the helpful information you provide. I’ve been looking for a daytime moisturizer (preferably anti-aging) with sunscreen that’s safe for pregnancy–and I remain a bit confused about what you have posted above. Perricone MD’s Photo Plasma seems to have been discontinued, and Fresh’s Black Tea Age-Delay lotion does in fact contain a chemical sunscreen (I checked the ingredients when I went in to buy it). Are you aware of a daily moisturizer with sunscreen that’s pregnancy-safe? Thanks!
Unfortunately I’m at the mercy of the online ingredient lists, and often there are product reformulations (and Photo Plasma was a best seller at Sephora when I made this list). All of the products on this list were purely mineral based at the time I published. I recommend checking my post on pregnancy friendly skincare products, there are a lot of sunscreens in there.
I had a similar question as Shar above.
So there aren’t any pregnancy-safe moisturizers w/sunscreen you know of or would recommend? I am hoping to avoid layering on multiple products. Thank you so much.
This post has an entire list of them above, 1 was discontinued and another may have been reformulated (note I haven’t been able to confirm this with the brand, I’m waiting for an email back as the active sunscreen ingredients are no longer listed on line, but they were when I made this list). I’ll make a separate post of just lotions with sunscreen.
Wow, thank you that is very helpful.
Where will I find the post? This page? Thanks!!
I’m writing it now. OMG I looked for forever to find the lotions! Very few are available, you’re absolutely right! I was like… wait there are tons of sunscreens here. But they’re ones you’d need to layer, something that drives me crazy. There’s a good range of price points, a couple of Neutrogenas up to more expensive. Hopefully I’ll have it ready for tomorrow, I’ll come back and post the link here and in the post!
Here’s the post! Pregnancy safe daily moisturizers with SPF
THANK YOU!!

Thank you
This looks ok as long as it isn’t listed to have SPF
The cover say it contains spf 10 so i can’t use it ?
Thanks for your help.
It means you’re missing ingredients, there are sunscreens not listed here. They’re often listed separately under “active ingredients” and then the rest under inactive, this is the inactive. In that case I can’t say if it is safe or not, it really depends on what those ingredients are. I’m sorry 🙁
Thank you soooo much and i am really sorry for the mistake and here is the Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 2.19%; Inactive Ingredients: Water, Methyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, Alcohol, PEG-9P Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Isododecane, Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer, Silica, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Aluminum Hydroxide, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Mica, Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate, Stearic Acid, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Tocopheryl Acetate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Propylene Carbonate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Parfum (Fragrance), Maltodextrin, BHT, Aspalanthus Linearis Leaf Extract, Sericin, Linalool, Limonene, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract, Rhodochrosite Extract, Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Extract, Hydrolyzed Linseed Extract, Citronellol, Balantines Roxburghii Seed Oil, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sorbic Acid, Ajuga Turkestanica Extract.

Do you have any thoughts on Juice Beauty CC cream? I was under the impression their CC cream was safe for pregnancy but now you are making me wonder. 🙂
I can’t remember off hand, but I think it’s on the Pregnancy Products from Juice Beauty page.
Thank you so much!! I didn’t even realize they had a pregnancy page with items listed. I just took a look at it and this is on it which makes me so happy!
Thank you again!!!!! 🙂

Also I’m a little confused about what your other posts says, how do I differentiate chemical sunscreens? Is it as long as they have UVA stuff like avobenzone, ecamsule, meradimate, we should stay away from chemical sunscreens?
Thank you!
In the post above I discuss what to look for and link to the sunscreen guide for more information. Only zinc and titanium are physical sunscreens, the rest are all chemical sunscreens and unsafe. Both of these have chemical sunscreens (and licorice root) and are unsafe.
Hi Christine!
First off, I love this post! Thank you so much for writing this. Could I get your opinion on whether or not this facial sunscreen is safe? Thank you!

No, the octinoxate is a chemical sunscreen. You want the only active sunscreen ingredients to be zinc or titanium.

Thanks a lot

This looks ok, though there aren’t any sunscreens listed. If they list an SPF value then those might be listed elsewhere such as under active ingredients or something? Just double check!
Hi Christine, I have a quick question that I hope you can answer quickly if you have time…I note that you have Nars sheer glow foundation as a safe for pregnancy foundation. 2 of the ingredients in the foundation are Butylene Glycol and 1-Methylhydantoin. I have read that butyl (Parabens) and hydantoin (formaldehyde) are not safe.
Are these the same ingredients in the foundation?
Neither of those ingredients are parabens, the parabens all say paraben in the name. They’re fine in pregnancy, please refer to my post on ingredients to avoid during pregnancy for the discussion. Hydantoin is not formaldehyde, though it is chemically related. All are safe.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!!

I’m sorry, but I live in the US and about 90% of my readers do as well. I am often booted from international websites over to the brand’s US site, making it basically impossible for me to view ingredient lists from other countries. You seem pretty upset with me about it though…
This product looks fine.
Oh no! I am deffinetely not upset if anything I am sad that I can’t use your guide at full potential because it is amazing and you are extremely helpful. Your blog is everything I have been looking for. I am so grateful for all your help. And I am so sorry if I sounded ungreatful. Blame the language barrier please 🙂

First of all, thank you so much for the time and effort you’ve put in to this site. It’s become such a valuable resource for me! I was hoping you could clarify something–on this page you have Philosophy renewed hope in a jar skin tint listed as not safe for pregnancy due to the chemical sunscreen, but on the Philosophy product page (https://www.15minutebeauty.com/pregnancy-safe-skincare-philosophy.html), it’s listed under ‘Pregnancy Safe Products from Philosophy’. Has there been an reformulation of the product or is is truly not safe to use in pregnancy?
That was a mistake (I’m human, I make those too!), I’ve moved it down to where it goes. Thanks!
Hi doc,
I’m practically browsing each page of your blog related to pregnancy 😅
Do you know any pregnancy safe products from Bath and Body works? Like their BB Creams with SPF and body butters/lotions if they’re ok to apply on the belly?
I’m sorry, I don’t have time to review their entire line currently. Could you be more specific?

Hello Dr. before I ask I just want to thank you so much for all this great information. On my last pregnancy I had to spend all 9 months wearing a horrible drying foundation that I thought was the only safe one I could find and using a highlighter palette as eye shadow. It was a bit depressing. I was using no skin care products because I wasn’t sure what was safe and I was hiding from the sun as I was afraid to use sunscreen. As a result my face aged in 9 months what I hadn’t in a decade. Thank you so much for making it easier to take care of ourselves.
Sorry for the long message.

#1 has chemical sunscreens, ok for nursing but not pregnancy
#2 doesn’t have the sunscreen ingredients listed at all, they’re likely separate under active ingredients. The other things listed are ok, but safety depends on those ingredients
Thank you for the response!
I am not really sure about the #2 though, I can’t find the percentage of the active ingredients for this product. This is the link for the product:
http://www.innisfreeworld.com/product/productView.do?prdSeq=11179
That link sends me to the front page of the site, sorry.
There are so many other products that are safe, I would recommend choosing one that isn’t from Innisfree.
Just wondering your thoughts on the erborian cc cream radiance skin perfector.

Non-Medicinal ingredients: Aqua, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride,Glyceryl Isostearate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-75 Stearate, Ceteth 20, Steareth-20, Glycerin, Cetyl Dimethicone, Methycellulose, Trisodium Ethylenediame Disuccinate, Xanthan Gum, Sclerotium Gum, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Silica, PVP, Chlorphenesin, Cetyl Alcohol, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA
Thanks!
I’m not confident in 1 brand’s encapsulation process to think they’ve totally changed how an ingredient works, I wouldn’t use it while pregnant.

3. One more question: Is it better to use baby sunscreen, of course mineral preferred, instead of regular mineral sunscreens? Would it be safer for moms too since ingredients are more mild for babies? Or is it not effective enough for adults?
Thank you for your answers
Both of these have a salicylate, I would avoid them while pregnant but they’re ok for nursing
Baby vs “adult” formulation doesn’t really matter for strength, baby sunscreens tend to be stronger with a higher SPF actually because they have very sensitive skin to the sun. occasionally mineral sunscreens will have chemical sunscreens added in to add photostability, baby products don’t usually do that, but otherwise I would just look for a safe formulation that you don’t mind applying.
Hi Doctor! Can you please let me know if this is safe to use during pregnancy? Thanks!

This BB looks ok to me! I think SPF 30 is ok, though if you’re spending all day every day outside I would personally bump up to a product with SPF 50 and make sure I’m reapplying every 2 hours.

I’ll add Valmont to my list. I’ve never heard of that brand!
Both of these have chemical sunscreens to avoid, #2 also has licorice root. I wouldn’t use them while pregnant but they would be ok while nursing.
Thanks so much for your time and effort!
Valmont is an awesome brand. Their ingredients are listed on their France region settings. The fact they don’t show it on any other region is making me a little weary.
That’s a bit odd about the france thing. Thanks for the tip!

Hi Doctor.
I hope it’s ok to post this here. I am wondering if this natural mosquito repellant is safe in very early pregnancy. I live in a country where Dengue is prevalent and so want to protect myself but not sure which mosquito spray to get. I bought this one called babyganics but I’m not sure if it’s safe to use these essential oils on my body in early pregnancy. This is the list of ingredients:
Soybean oil 95.25%, citronella oil 0.95%, rosemary oil 1.50%, lemongrass oil 0.25%, peppermint oil 0.60%, geranium oil 0.75%, cedarwood oil 0.70%
So grateful for your help! You are amazing!!
These ingredients look ok, but in the US our OBs still recommend DEET. I’d ask your OB if you need the higher level of protection. Good luck!

Hi Dr. Christine,
Supergoop just came out with a new sunscreen called Zincscreen. I was wondering if it’s safe to use during pregnancy as the previous Supergoop approved one is a CC Cream that I don’t like to use. Thanks in advance!!
Active Ingredients:
Zinc Oxide 13%
Inactive Ingredients:
Water, Tetradecane, Cetearyl Nonanoate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isopropyl Palmitate, Isopropyl Myristate, Glycerin, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Mica, Propanediol, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Gluconolactone, Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate, Brassica Campestris/ Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer, Propanediol, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Sodium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate, Fructose, Octyldodecyl Oleate, Tocopherol, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Dodecane, Hexadecane, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Withania Somnifera Flower Extract, Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Silica, Calcium Gluconate
Doh! I would still avoid this during pregnancy due to the Gluconolactone. It’s ok to use during nursing.
Thanks a lot 🙂
I just have aaaaanother question: if something isn’t safe to use during pregnancy, wouldn’t it make sense not to use it at all? Even when I’m not pregnant, would you not suggest a sunscreen that’s free of anything that could be harmful whilst pregnant? And why or why not?
It’s pretty restrictive to always be using pregnancy friendly only skincare all the time. For example, the best anti-aging skincare ingredients out there are retinoids. And most sunscreens for the face and in makeup are chemical, not physical. Many women (such as myself) aren’t trying to conceive all the time, so it doesn’t make sense to limit ourselves in that way. If there’s a pregnancy safe product you love using, that’s great! I have a bunch that I use all the time. But I don’t limit myself to pregnancy safe products as I’m not pregnant or trying to get pregnant any time soon.
Hi Doctor! Your website is a lifesaver and I was so relieved that having chanced upon your it. Could you help me to check out if this particular skincare product of mine is pregnancy safe?
