Pregnancy Safe Products from Nécessaire

Pregnancy Safe Products from Nécessaire

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 Nécessaire as of 6/28/2024. 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.

    Hi! I was wondering the difference between Vitamin A in these products and the Retinol A I know you are supposed avoid during pregnancy. Why is Vitamin A safe? Thank you! 🙂

      Christine said:

      There’s some discussion about retinoids/Vitamin A in here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

      In general, products that call out Vitamin A as a key ingredient don’t always have it in their ingredient lists. Often it’s something in an extract for example, and ingredients aren’t really thought to “count” in that form, typically they’re of a much lower concentration and often in a very different chemical form. Vitamin A is considered to be “dangerous” when in a retinoid form, as the oral version has been strongly linked to birth defects. There’s been some effort to figure out if you need to worry about topical forms, but the best studies to determine this would be unethical to perform. And since retinoids are absorbed through the skin to circulate throughout the body (and absorption can increase under conditions like skin irritation), we advise that it is best to avoid all retinoids during pregnancy.

      There’s some evidence out there that the other version of Vitamin A, Beta-Carotene, is actually safe in pregnancy. It’s rarely used alone in skincare products, but you don’t need to worry about that one. Typically the vitamin A found in extracts is actually beta-carotene.

    What about the vitamin A?

    • 6.24.21
      Christine said:

      None of these products contain direct Vitamin A or derivatives. They may have some ingredients that are naturally higher in Vitamin A, but as they’re not retinoids directly added to the formulation they’re considered safe.

    Hey for nessessaire, you have the body wash ‘ Eugcalyptus’ as safe but the deodorant as unsafe and one of the two ingredients there is ‘ Eugcalyptus’ .. do you mean the only deorderant that’s not safe is the Eugcalyptus one because of the acid ingredient ? Thanks!!!

    • 1.26.22
      Christine said:

      No, it’s a typo, but it’s saying that the Eucalyptus version has mandelic acid in it and not safe. At the time of my review the unscented was out but I didn’t have access to the ingredient list. I needed to point out that the 1 version wasn’t safe (though I must have typed it quickly, sorry I had a typo!). The unscented version’s ingredients are on the website now, so I’ve just added it.

    Monica said:

    Hi there! Thank you so much for this guide, it has been really helpful.

    I realised the packaging for the Body Lotion states Vitamin A. After doing some research, I am assuming the source of abundant Vitamin A it is coming from the ‘Caryodendron Orinocense Seed Oil’, which has 3x more natural Vitamin A than Rosehip Oil.

    Would you say this oil is okay to use during pregnancy? Can you also explain the difference between natural Vitamin A and retinol? Thank you so much!!
