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 Isle of Paradise as of 4/2/2023. 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.
This discussion is very relevant for this brand: Sunless Tanners during pregnancy

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!
Apologies if this has been asked but I cannot find it anywhere. I know you do not recommend any sunless tanners or products with DHA during pregnancy. Are these products okay during breastfeeding (if the ingredients are otherwise safe)? Thanks so much.
They’re fine while nursing, if you look at the lists (like this post) they mostly end up under that category unless they have ingredients like retinoids that you need to avoid in nursing.
Thank you. You are the best, I so appreciate everything you do!

There are no pregnancy safe self tanners, the only 2 active ingredients need to be avoided, they’re absorbed pretty easily.
Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to DHA
