Here you’ll find every skincare product (that I reviewed) from Alba Botanica as of 9/28/2024. 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.

I’m so glad you’ve provided such a detailed list, I’m a little worried, I just found out I’m pregnant last week (around 9weeks gone) and I’ve been using alba products that are on the unsafe list every day as they’re part of my regular skin care routine, of course I will now cease using them, but could I of caused any lasting harm to my baby?
Regularly using the deep pore wash and the face and body scrub.
I hope to hear back from you shortly.
I have info regarding this situation here: pregnancy beauty FAQ

Hi! I have a question about the AcneDote Pimple Patches. I don’t see Salicylic Acid listed in the ingredients. I have these at home and have looked them up. This is all that I see:
Hydrocolloid Dressing with Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Fruit Extract, Petroselinum Sativum (Parsley) Extract
They may have been reformulated in the last 2 years, but mine previously had salicylic acid in them for sure.
Thank you for this! I had the same question. Are any of those ingredients posted by SS forms of salicylic acid? Or is the ingredient list preg safe.
Hers were safe, the ones I have (well, had, I’m out now) were not. I would check your packaging carefully, or look at buying patches from Rael instead, they have a bunch of safe ones.
