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 Sekkisei as of 1/29/2022. 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.

Can I ask which ingredients make up the chemical sunscreen? I don’t see it and the product doesn’t advertise as sunscreen so just curious.
ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE
Discussion here: Why did you say this product has sunscreen when there isn’t an SPF?
