Pregnancy safe skincare 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. The list has gotten so large that I’ve decided to start listing brands in their own individual posts.
Here you’ll find every pregnancy safe skincare product from Burt’s Bees as of 2/27/2022. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. If they release a new product that is not listed here, please comment below and I will add it. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.

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!
Can I please ask if the Burt’s Bee complete nourishment facial oil with rosehip seed extract safe to us during pregnancy? Thanks so much!
I’ve reviewed this entire line and have only included the pregnancy safe products so far. I’ll expand eventually to tell you why i didn’t like the others, but I haven’t had a chance yet with Burt’s Bees. But if it isn’t included here then I didn’t think it was safe for pregnancy.
Hello!
What do you think about “BURT’S BEES GARDEN TOMATO TONER”?
Ingredients:
water, alcohol denat., glycerin, cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract, camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract, carum petroselinum (parsley) extract, solanum lycopersicum (tomato) fruit extract, vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) extractsaccharum officinarum (sugar cane) extract, acer saccharum (sugar maple) extract, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel oil, citrus medica limonum (lemon) peel oil, fragrance
Look ok
Is the Beeswax lipbalm safe? I’m questioning the sunflower seed oil and rosemary leaf extract.
Both of those ingredients are ok, but I’ve hesitated to add it here because the 3 tubes I checked (all the same kind) all had different ingredient lists?? What??
I was just coming to ask about the regular beeswax. I’ve been using it for years and while pregnant since I saw it was on the “ok” list. All of the tubes I have show linalool and eugenol as the last two ingredients but these don’t show in this product on the BB website. The rest of the ingredients match. Are those two ingredients okay?
It’s ok 🙂
Rosemary leaf extract is okay? I have heard the opposite. I know rosemary oil is not proven safe but is the leaf extract different? Thank you!
All rosemary is fine topically.
Hi Christine,
Can you please help verify if Burt’s Bees Matte Lip Crayon is safe for pregnancy?
Ingredients: ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, candelilla cera (euphorbia cerifera wax, cire de candelilla), cera alba (beeswax, cire d’abeille), cera carnauba (copernicia cerifera wax, cire de carnauba), butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, hydrogenated vegetable oil, aleurites moluccana seed oil*, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, tocopherol, lecithin, silica, glycine soja (soybean) oil. +/- (May contain / Peut contenir): CI 77891 (titanium dioxide), CI 77019 (mica), CI 75470 (carmine), CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (iron oxides) *kendi oil
Thanks again for your help!
Sincerely,
Yuri
Looks ok to me!
Can you say anything more about the first ingredient “ricinus communis (castor) seed oil”? I’m a little paranoid about that given that castor oil can be used to induce labor. Is your view that this is a safe ingredient in the amounts in these products? I just recently purchased Burts Bees Sunny Day 221 100% Natural lip gloss, where it’s the first ingredient, and two lipsticks (Satin Lipstick 510 Blush Basin, Glossy Lipstick 504 Nude Rain) where it is the second ingredient, after diheptyl succinate (Satin) and capryloyl glycerin/sebaric acid coploymer (Glossy). It is also found as the 6th ingredient in a product you marked as safe above, Intense Hydration Night Cream. (Thank you, your site has been a godsend!)
You actually need to take quite a bit by mouth to induce labor, a little topically won’t do it.
Hello! Is this primer safe to use during pregnancy?
Goodness Glows Illuminating Face Primer
Ingredients: aqua [water], decyl cocoate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, persea gratissima (avocado) oil, propanediol, sorbitan stearate, glycerin, mica, CI 77891 [titanium dioxide], xanthan gum, sucrose cocoate, sodium phytate, citric acid, sodium hydroxide, parfum [fragrance]*, phenoxyethanol, citronellol. *parfum naturel/natural fragrance
Looks ok for both pregnancy and nursing
Hi I found this article when I was looking to make sure that the intense hydration cream and mask were safe since it has clary sage in it. I was reading that clary sage oil can cause uterine contractions and has been used to induce labor but can cause miscarriage if used too early in the pregnancy. So why is the that safe in the cream and mask? TIA!
You need massive quantities to induce, it’s impossible to do that topically basically. I’ve asked a few OBs about it and they agreed with me.
I just came to tell you I love you. I have been having such a hard time finding prego safe products and you are my hero. ❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I’m glad it helped!
Hi, I’m wondering about the Burt’s Bees cucumber and sage facial towelettes. I’ve heard you should avoid sage in pregnancy. I know you already responded to a post about clary sage, would the sage in the face wipes be safe then because it’s in small quantities ? Here is the list of ingredients. Thanks.
Ingredients: aqua (water, eau), aloe barbadensis leaf juice, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract, salvia offcinalis (sage) leaf extract, tocopherol, citric acid, xanthan gum, dicaprylyl carbonate, caprylyl/capryl glucoside, glycerin, glycine soja (soybean) oil, benzyl alcohol, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, parfum (natural fragrance), phenoxyethanol, hydroxycitronellal, citronellol, amyl cinnamal.
Yes, the sage is fine. Much less exposure than from eating it, and you can still eat regular sage. These ingredients are fine! 🙂
Awesome, thanks so much!
The Burt’s Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter.. I”m curious even though it’s marketed as safe if this is.. thank you.
Water, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, glycerin, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, cetyl alcohol, prunus amygdalusdulcis (sweet almond) oil, sucrose stearate, butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, glycine soja (soybean) oil, simmondsia chinensis(jojoba) butter, theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, tocopherol, xanthan gum, lactic acid, magnesium aluminum silicate, glyceryllaurate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, sucrose polystearate, phenoxyethanol.
It’s fine
Hi Doctor, thanks for your very helpful site! I read some studies showing a link between using almond oil topically and premature birth. Can you please help me understand why this is ok in this product? thank you very much.
You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. It’s not considered an ingredient to avoid by the medical community. My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

More info on the extracts/oils in my post on ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. Unless a specific issue is found, the studies that would really prove safety can’t be done, they’re unethical. Most extracts/oils are fine, but there are concerns specifically for Neem and Willow Bark, so I recommend avoiding those. Typically in a mixture of oils or products like this, there isn’t enough to worry about things too much, but I wouldn’t recommend applying a large amount of tea tree oil at one time for example.
Pregnancy is also considered a “sensitizing” time, meaning you will have reactions to products you’ve been fine with before, and that reaction will possibly persist after delivery. For that reason I recommend avoiding products with a lot of extracts and botanicals, many of them have limited proven benefits (other than they are “natural” and it makes us feel better about that). When possible, go for shorter ingredient lists if possible, it’s easier to sort out what you reacted to later on. I hope that makes sense. In the scheme of things, both of these products have “shorter” lists, you should see some of the products I review! Both of these lists look safe to me.
I hope that helps!
Hi! I’ve just looked into my lotions again and now see some people recommend avoiding sodium benzoate – do you agree?
I don’t.
Hello and thank you for your amazing work! What do you think about Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Creme? Ingredients: Vegetable glycerin, olive oil, oat flour, lanolin, coconut oil, quillaja extract, oat oil, rosemary leaf oil, tocopherol (vitamin E), fragrance. Thank you!

Hello, I would like to know if the shea butter hands cream is safe? My hands are in very bad condition and I’m scared to use any cream because the most of then from different brands have phenoxyethanol and I heard that is not safe.
Ingredients:
aqua (water, eau), helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, stearic acid, cera alba (beeswax, cire d’abeille), glycerin, sesamum indicum (sesame) seed oil, butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), macadamia ternifolia seed oil, rosa canina (rosehip) seed oil, theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, parfum (fragrance), tocopherol, retinyl palmitate, salix nigra (willow) bark extract, borago officinalis (borage) flower oil, calendula officinalis flower, plantago lanceolata (plantain) leaf extract, alchemilla vulgaris (lady’s mantle) leaf extract, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, beta-carotene, xanthan gum, sucrose stearate, glucose, glycine soja (soybean oil), canola oil (huile de colza), olus (vegetable oil, huile vegetale), sodium borate, sodium chloride, glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase, benzyl alcohol, citral, citronellol, eugenol, geraniol, limonene, linalool.
Thank you very much.
I would avoid this during pregnancy due to the retinoid and willow bark (a salicylate).
Phenoxyethanol is thought to be ok by the medical community.

According to the Amazon ingredient list, the pink grapefuit towelettes do not contain either ingredient you listed. Is Amazon incorrect? Or are the taboo ingredients hidden under different names? I really like these towelettes, so I am very curious! THANKS!
I reviewed the ingredient list on the Burt’s Bees website. I’ve frequently found errors on the Amazon page listings, so I don’t trust those.
This is the list for those towelettes that I just now pulled from the brand website:
Ingredients: aqua (water, eau), glycerin, decyl oleate, oleyl erucate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, coco-caprylate, hibiscus sabdari¬a flower extract, pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract, rubus idaeus (raspberry) seed oil, citrullus lanatus (watermelon) fruit extract, lens esculenta (lentil) fruit extract, vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract, adansonia digitata fruit extract, scutellaria alpina flower/leaf/stem extract, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) fruit extract, citrus medica limonum (lemon) fruit extract, acer saccharum (sugar maple) extract, salix nigra (willow) bark extract, beta vulgaris (beet, extrait de racine de betterave) root extract, saccharum o cinarum (sugar cane, extrait de canne á sucre) extract, hydrolyzed corn starch, sodium PCA, ribose, lysolecithin, sclerotium gum, pullulan, glycine soja (soybean) oil, xanthan gum, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, arginine, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, sodium phytate, tocopherol, lactic acid, citric acid, p-anisic acid, alcohol denat., sodium lactate, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, parfum (fragrance)*, phenoxyethanol, eugenol, limonene, linalool *natural fragrance
I have bolded the willow bark (considered a salicylate) and the dipotassium glycyrrhizate, which is a derivative of licorice root. I would personally avoid these while pregnant, but use them while nursing.
Thanks! The package didn’t list those either. I used them later in my pregnancy with baby #1. Finding products is so frustrating sometimes! I am glad I found your site!
Hello, is Diaper rash ointment safe for babies?
Ingredients: Active Ingredient: Zinc oxide 40% Inactive Ingredients:prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, beeswax, lanolin, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, glyceryl rosinate, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, hydrogenated castor oil, olea europaea (olive) oil unsaponifiables, anthemis nobilis flower oil, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower, lavandula hybrida oil, calendula officinalis flower extract, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, tocopherol, glycine soja (soybean) oil, canola oil.
Yes, though note that babies can react to a LOT of things you put on them. I recommend going with Desitin instead of Burt’s Bees due to the high number of extracts in this, it’s a set up for some sort of reaction. The fewer the extracts the better for babies.
Is Burt’s bees belly butter safe to use in pregnancy? It is marketed to help with stretch marks during pregnancy. However, it contains phenoxyethanol. Several sources recommend to avoid exposure to this chemical in pregnancy.

I use the Burt’s Bees Hydrating Face wash with Clary Sage and it’s matching facial lotion, I recently learned that Clary Sage essential oil can be used to induce labor. I’m only in my first trimester, is it safe for me to use this face wash and lotion or could it potentially cause preterm labor? This might be a dumb question but as a first time mom I’m worried. I really love this face wash and lotion mix, it’s the only thing that keeps my severely dry skin under control and super moisturized! Thanks, MJ
You need a very large amount to do that, it’s considered ok to use topically.

The ingredients I think you need to worry about are here:

Hello! Your posts are so helpful! Question about the Mama Bee Belly Butter… I was reading online that Shea butter naturally contains lots of vitamin A and E. Is this ok since it’s naturally occurring? I noticed it’s on your pregnancy safe list and tons of pregnancy products contain Shea butter.
Thanks!
The naturally occurring ones within ingredients are fine. It’s only an issue when listed as a separate chemical ingredient.
Hi there, I just want to thank you for all your efforts and time you put into this. Love your site and insight.
I’m curious about this product and apologies if I’ve missed it on the list:
Burts Bees True Glowing Night Cream and whether it is pregnancy safe.
Thank you
I have already reviewed all products in this brand that I have access to their ingredient list, please refer to the post about how to request a product review. I need a full ingredient list to review your product, more info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety. Thanks!

Hi I’m looking at Burt Bee’s Renewal Firming Day Lotion with SPF. On this list it’s showing as not safe for nursing but on the Pregnancy Safe Daily Moisturizers with SPF list it’s showing as pregnancy safe. Or at least the links for both take m to the same product, so I’m guessing it’s the same product unless something changed. Anyway, on here it shows as no safe due to Licorice Root. I do not see that as an ingredient. Could you tell me if this is safe for pregnancy:
Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide (2.53%) and Zinc Oxide (11.9%)
Inactive Ingredients: water, glycerin, caprylic/capric triglyceride, decyl oleate, isoamyl cocoate, isoamyl laurate, cetyl alcohol, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, polyglyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate, fragrance*, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, glyceryl stearate citrate, stearic acid, tocopherol, beeswax, citrullus lanatus (watermelon) fruit extract, lens esculenta (lentil) fruit extract, pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract, glycine soja (soybean) oil, adansonia digitata fruit extract, hibiscus sabdariffa flower extract, scutellaria alpina flower/leaf/stem extract, trifolium pratense (clover) leaf extract, phragmites communis extract, poria cocos extract, sorbitan stearate, behenylalcohol, isostearic acid, polyhydroxystearic acid, ribose, sodium carboxymethyl C10-16 alkyl glucoside, stearyl alcohol, alumina, lecithin, polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate, lauryl glucoside, magnesium aluminum silicate, xanthan gum, citric acid, bisabolol, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, sodium phytate, sodium lactate, sorbic acid, sodium PCA, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, alcohol, phenoxyethanol
Thank you for your help!
The brand lists are always the most up to date, which is why I always say to default to them. I don’t go back and update the round ups. The licorice root is dipotassium glycyrrhizate and is in this list.
Ok, I’m sorry about that! They get you with all the different names they use so I wasn’t sure if the formula had recently changed or not. Thank you for the quick response and the clarification.
Hi! Your website has been a lifesaver in researching products to use or not during pregnancy! Thank you for your research and dedication to this important matter!
I recently purchased what I believe is a new product to the Burts Bees line called Cleansing Oil. These are the ingredients:
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil, Isoamyl Laurate, Polyglyceryl-2 Sesquioleate, Fragrance*, Polyglyceryl-2 Caprate, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Tocopherol.
* Natural Fragrance
What are your thoughts for use doing pregnancy and/or nursing?
Many thanks!

Hi, you listed the renewal firming day lotion under not safe because it has licorice root. You also listed it on best moisturizers with spf that are pregnancy safe. I dont see licorice root in the ingredients. Was this a mistake ?
No, there’s likely a reformulation in there somewhere. I haven’t updated either list in a while, but in general the brand lists are newer (and I think I have a disclaimer on all of those round ups to defer to the brand posts). Round ups don’t get updated often, it’s too hard to hunt down every product as I update brand lists.
These are the full ingredients per Burt’s Bees, and there is licorice root, it’s the dipotassium glycyrrhizate.

Hello- can you further explain the ingredient in the Burt’s Bees Renewal firming cream that is concerning? I’ve searched the label many times and I do not see where the licorice root is. Thank you!
This is the full ingredient list per the brand:
Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide (2.53%) and Zinc Oxide (11.9%)
Inactive Ingredients: water, glycerin, caprylic/capric triglyceride, decyl oleate, isoamyl cocoate, isoamyl laurate, cetyl alcohol, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, polyglyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate, fragrance*, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, glyceryl stearate citrate, stearic acid, tocopherol, beeswax, citrullus lanatus (watermelon) fruit extract, lens esculenta (lentil) fruit extract, pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract, glycine soja (soybean) oil, adansonia digitata fruit extract, hibiscus sabdariffa flower extract, scutellaria alpina flower/leaf/stem extract, trifolium pratense (clover) leaf extract, phragmites communis extract, poria cocos extract, sorbitan stearate, behenylalcohol, isostearic acid, polyhydroxystearic acid, ribose, sodium carboxymethyl C10-16 alkyl glucoside, stearyl alcohol, alumina, lecithin, polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate, lauryl glucoside, magnesium aluminum silicate, xanthan gum, citric acid, bisabolol, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, sodium phytate, sodium lactate, sorbic acid, sodium PCA, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, alcohol, phenoxyethanol
Licorice root likes to hide, it’s the dipotassium glycyrrhizate on the 2nd to last line
Where do you find this ingredient list? I’ve search several locations and can not find this ingredient list anywhere. The item you point out is not listed on the Burt’s bees website as of today.
I clicked on the link and it pulled it up directly from the brand. And I”m located in the same state as you, so I don’t think it’s an international issue. Their website does seem to have a lot of issues pulling things up today, I tried to start updating this list for 2022 after your comment and it’s having a hard time getting some of the pages open. Then when I go back, it pulls it up just fine. But I clicked the brand link and Burt’s Bees has all of their ingredient lists on their site.
I just realized that you were talking about licorice root so I just pulled up the renewal product that had licorice root listed as the problem. Are we talking about the same product?
Hi! Thank you for putting this all together to help us. I really appreciate it!
I am looking for a daily moisturizing with sunscreen and I saw on the daily moisturizing sunscreen session of this page that the Burt’s Bees Renewal Day Lotion SPF 30 is safe during pregnancy. However, it it says that it is not pregnancy safe when you look on the Burt’s Bees list of products.
Could you please clarify that to me? Thank you!!
On the daily moisturizer page it also says that the product round ups aren’t as frequently updated, so to use the brand page as the correct one when the 2 disagree. I update the brand pages much more frequently, so you’ll see any possible reformulations in the brand pages.
Sorry, I am confused now… is it safe during pregnancy or nursing?
Thank you!!!
This list is much more recent, just at the end of February. Go with the brand list.

Hi I have a few questions about burts products. I am currently 7 weeks pregnant. On the website for pregnancy safe and not pregnancy safe products it says the regular burts lip balm is safe, but it has rosemary in it which Ive read on several sources is supposed to be avoided when pregnant. It also says vanilla bean is not safe bc of licorice root, but when I look at ingredients I don’t even see it on there. Have the ingredients changed since the website came out? And is the original safe or not? I only use burts on my lips and now that Im pregnant Im afraid to use anything, so Im just trying ro be thorough before using anything regularly. My lips are starting to crack. Please let me k ow your thoughts. Thank you
You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. Rosemary is not considered an ingredient to avoid by the medical community. My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
These are the ingredients of the Vanilla Bean Lip Balm:
Ingredients: helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, beeswax (cera alba), flavor (aroma ), ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, lanolin, ammonium glycyrrhizate, butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, canola oil (huile de colza), glycine soja (soybean) oil, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, tocopherol, vanilla planifolia fruit extract, vanilla tahitensis fruit extract.
The licorice root in the the vanilla bean is under its chemical name, ammonium glycyrrhizate.
If your lips are cracked I would look more at something super hydrating like Laneige overnight lip mask or just plain vaseline.

Not all physicians agree, and ACOG changed their stance 180 degrees without any new studies being available, so many physicians (myself included) recommend avoidance still. These discussions will help:

Hello! I’ve noticed the ingredient licorice root listed on safe for breastfeeding/not pregnancy, but also listed in the not safe for breastfeeding or pregnancy category? Is licorice root in products okay when breastfeeding and what about star anise? Thank you!
Under the not safe for pregnancy or nursing, I still list everything that’s an issue. I put the ones that make it that category first (Hemp, hydroquinone, kojic acid, arbutin, bidens pilosa, bakuchiol, retinoids) first, and then list ones that you need to avoid in pregnancy (licorice root and many others)
Is the Burt’s Bees mosquito balm safe during pregnancy Ingredients: olea curopaca (olive) fruit oil, beeswax, theobroma cacao (cocon) seed butter, triticum vulgare (wheat) germ oil, lavandula hybrida (lavandin) oil, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower oil, symphytum officinale (comfrey) leaf extract, tocopherol, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, glycine soja (soybean) oil, canola oil, zea mays (corn) oil, chlorophylline copper complex
