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 Follain as of 1/4/2023. 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.
Follain no longer has their own site, and they’re owned by Credo Beauty. So all links are directly to Credo.

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!
Hi! I see that some are not ok for nursing or pregnancy due to bakuchiol. I’ve only read it’s fine for both. Is that out of precaution or is it possibly harmful? Thank you so much for all of your information! It is so helpful.
There’s discussion about Bakuchiol in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
It DOES act through the same receptors, but when it came out everyone suddenly said “It’s safe!” So… it acts the same way and you have no studies saying that it’s safe, but you’re just declaring that it IS safe? Yes, pretty much that is what everyone did.
What about the Follain Hand Cream?
