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.
Here you’ll find every pregnancy safe skincare product from CeraVe as of 11/29/2022. 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.

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!
Where can I find your criteria? Can you link to it if too long/complicated to list here? Thank you for making these lists!!!
My criteria are in the post on pregnancy skin care ingredients to avoid. It’s best to start in the central “hub” of the pregnancy skincare guide.
Dear Dr., could you please advise if I can use CeraVe Ultra-Light moisturing Lotion SPF 30. Here is the ingredients:
Active ingredient: homosalate; Octisalate; Avobenzone; Octocrylene
Inactive ingredient: Aqua, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Glycerin, pentylene Glycol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Crosspolymer, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Citric Acid, t-Butyl Alcohol, Ceramide NP, Phenoxyethanol, Ceramide AP, Phytosphingosline, Cholesterol, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Ethylhexylgylycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ceramide EOP
No, it was left off of the list due to the chemical sunscreens
So I have a question about PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion marked above as safe. It contains methylparaben and propylparaben so is it still safe to use it during pregnancy? I’ve been using it during my 1st trimester because I found it to be safe, but later I’ve read that methylparaben and propylparaben are hazardous. So I’m confused and worry about my baby.
Thanks
The medical community considers parabens safe. Please refer to my post on ingredients to avoid during pregnancy for more information. If you are concerned you can avoid them, but I don’t screen products with parabens out of my pregnancy safe criteria.
Hi, your pregnancy safe list has the cerave skin reneweing eye cream in it, but on checking the ingredients it has butylene glycol and caprylyl glycol. I know you usually filter out products with glycolic as unsafe, so are these variations ok?
They’re far enough from Glycolic Acid that they’re fine.

I read your article just now and I am pregnant for 6w 4d. I just learned that the sunscreen is not safe for pregnancy. I will stop using it right away but what will happen with my baby’s development if I have used it already? Any sunscreen recommendation? Thanks.
You can read more about what to do/worry about if you’ve been using an unsafe product in my pregnancy beauty FAQ. There are also a ton of safe sunscreens in my pregnancy safe facial sunscreen post and you can check a lot of individual brands in my list of pregnancy safe beauty brands.

Hello,
I am looking for CeraVe’s Itch Relief Moisturizing Lotion. I don’t see it in your list.
https://www.cerave.com/skincare/moisturizers/itch-relief-moisturizing-lotion
Thank you!
I actually left those ones off due to the Pramoxine, I was waiting to hear from an OB friend about that ingredient. We can’t figure out if it is pregnancy safe or not, it’s a category C and the brand recommends talking to your OB. It is a somewhat unusual itch relief ingredient and not found in other topicals. I’d likely talk to your OB about an alternative.
Wondering the same thing but if it’s safe while breast feeding? Thanks!
There’s no real safety info unfortunately. I’d discuss with your OB
Hello, first of all thank you for doing this — it is so helpful and relieving to have your site as a resource! Also, would you be willing to review Glossier’s Lash Slick mascara when you have the chance? Ingredients are:

May Contain/Peut Contenir (±): CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (Iron Oxides), CI 77266 (Black 2).
You don’t need to worry about mascaras, more information in my post on pregnancy safe makeup. Pregnancy safe products from Glossier are here.
Hi thanks for going through this for us mummies. I just wanted to ask. I have many small tiny pimples on my legs posy delivery. It doesn’t hurt or itch but I am trying to get rid of them. Would moisturing cream help? I see that it is safe for nursing mother. Thanks!
I would talk to your doctor, it sounds like you have a folliculitis if it’s widespread. You may need antibiotics.
Hello;
Is the ingredients Sodium Hyaluronate safe during pregnancy? It’s in the vitamin C serum. I am nervous about this ingredient

Hi! In regards to the link provided for the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (Ulta)…the ingredients aren’t matching up to what I have at home being the same item.

Hello,
I just found your blog, first time mom here and I’m learning a lot.
I just wanted to ask, what do you think of mineral oil in pregnancy ? Like the one in Cerave healing ointment for example.
Thank you.
It’s fine, nothing to support avoidance. Many OBs recommend using it orally for constipation, so…. in a face cream is much lower exposure. More info on what to watch out for here:
skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Oh perfect.
Speaking about OB, last time my OB mentioned to avoid hyaluronic acid. I was confused because most of the pregnancy safe products I bought were containing it.
Is there any evidence or maybe she was confused with it and something else ?
I kept reading but nothing came up.
Hyaluronic acid isn’t a real acid, it’s a very large molecule (already found in large amounts in your dermis) and is so big it often can’t penetrate down into your skin, and is felt to be safe. Info here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Thanks a lot, I appreciate your time and effort.

Thank you!
It’s not. I’m actually about 90% done with an update for this brand that I”m about to put up, but this one is ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to the BP and glycolic acid. Sorry!

love what you do for us.

Hi there
This is a great page, thank you. With the SA smoothing cleanser it has 0.5% Salicylic acid in it, I was told up to 2% is ok to use in pregnancy, is this correct?
Thank you again x
No, many physicians don’t think so, there’s no evidence to support that. 2% is what you can buy over the counter without a prescription in the US. Discussion here: But what about this % of an ingredient?
Thank you for clarifying. Also what spf would
You recommend for your face while pregnant? Thanks again x
I like Cerave and Elta MD sunscreens
For the CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser, are parabens safe to use during pregnancy? I thought they were not. And parabens are clearly in the ingredients of this product. Thanks for clarifying!
Parabens are considered safe by the medical community. There’s a bit of explanation in here I think: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Hi, I just bought this Cerave Moisturizing Cream but the ingredients are different from the one you linked above. Also the packaging is a tube bottle (not a jar). Is this safe for pregnancy?
Ingredients:
AQUA / WATER / EAU, GLYCERIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, CETYL ALCOHOL, CETEARETH-20, PETROLATUM, POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, CERAMIDE NP, CERAMIDE AP, CERAMIDE EOP, CARBOMER, DIMETHICONE, BEHENTRIMONIUM METHOSULFATE, SODIUM LAUROYL LACTYLATE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, CHOLESTEROL, PHENOXYETHANOL, DISODIUM EDTA, DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, TOCOPHEROL, PHYTOSPHINGOSINE, XANTHAN GUM, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN (CODE F.I.L. D213769/2)
Looks ok for both pregnancy and nursing
None of these mention parabens, which at least one of the CeraVe cleansers has. Parabens are horrible.
The medical community considers Parabens safe. There’s some discussion here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Hi! Is CeraVe hydrating cream to foam cleanser safe for pregnancy?
I need a full ingredient list to review your product as I’ve reviewed all of the ones I have access to. More info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety. Note, I do not follow links from readers, I need the actual list.

Hey.
Regarding the CeraVe am facial moisturizing lotion. It says because of chemical sunscreen, but isn’t the problem with pregnancy and chemical sunscreen the ingredient Oxybenzone or benzophenone-3? I don’t see that in the ingredient list for the CeraVe am? So why is it not safe?
All of them have issues, and they’re all well absorbed. Most of them also count as salicylates, and the links to hypospadias have also been found with others beyond the benzophenone-2. That’s why I (and many other physicians) recommend avoiding all of them.
Hi Dr.,
Could you please let me know if the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser Bar is pregnancy safe? Thanks for your help!

Hi!
I’m writing you from Spain and I’m interested in the Hydrating facial cleanser. I looked up for the ingredients and the list is not exactly the same that is listed in you website (or at least not the same order and I don’t know if that means anything).

Hi! Thank you for this resource, the website is very informative and thorough! One question I had was regarding a prop 65 warning that I saw when trying to purchase CeraVe daily Moisturizing lotion. It warns of chemicals that is known to California of causing birth defects and reproductive harm, but all the ingredients are on the approved list. I am feeling overwhelmed with trying to figure out what to use . Thank you for the help!
The prop 65 warning in California was something the voters decided to add. It’s pretty much added to everything in the state, when things end up on the “warning” list it’s done in a petri dish, at very high doses. I don’t know any physicians who recommend looking for the warning on items, it’s so broad that it’s actually somewhat useless.

If I’m not at work, I try to check the messages a couple of times a day. I still get rude comments for not responding within moments of someone commenting though 🙁 I think others forget that I’m a person with a life and not a bot? But thank you for recognizing that I’m trying! 🙂

Hi! Just want to ask if i can use a glycerin-based transparent soap? The only ingredient listed is glycerin and that it is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Thanks a lot!
That’s fine
Cerave Moisturizing Cream has phenoxyethanol in it which is definitely not safe for pregnancy but is on your pregnancy safe list.
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
Hi! I found on a lot of sources that salicylic acid should be avoided but no one mentions salicylates. Also, in the EU basically every soap or shower gel contains sodium salicylate or benzyl salicylate as a preservative. Isn’t that safe? And if not, why?
These things will be helpful. Note, the EU isn’t the end all be all in terms of product safety either during or without pregnancy.
• Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
• skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Pregnancy safety is something that is based a lot on conjecture and assumptions. We don’t have actual science behind most of it, because you can’t do the actual needed studies. It’s unethical. And I would say that those products with sodium salicylate or benzyl salicylate as a preservative aren’t safe in pregnancy.

Hello Dr. I have to been using Cerave Skin Renewing Night Cream and when I was looking at other options and comparing I saw this in its description.
“Encapsulated retinol in a timed-release formula provides mild exfoliation and improves visible signs of aging without irritation” And now I am panicking because I have been using it. I have attached below the ingredients because I could not figure out where the retinol will be.
Purified Water, Glycerin, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Stearic Acid, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Saccharide Isomerate, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols, Ceramide 6 II, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 1, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3, Tripeptide-1, Cholesterol, Phenoxyethanol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Carbomer, Behentrimonium Methosulphate, Sodium Hydroxide, Tocopherol, Allantoin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Phytosphingosine, Dextran, Xanthan Gum.
I had this same issue when I reviewed it. I saw that it said that but there’s no retinoid (or anything even close) listed there. And I checked a bunch of other sites and could only find the same list…
Oh okay! Thank you for your clarification. That makes me feel better!

Hi there!
Just a quick question, is Glycerin ok to use in? I know Cerave Moisturizing Cream has Glycerin in it but I read it is not safe for pregnancy.
Also would this mask be ok to use Plantifique Superfood Mask ingredients below;
Glycerin, Sea Silt, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Avocado Extract, Spinach Exctract, Brocolli Extract, BlueBerry Fruit Extract, Spirulina Platensis Extract, Tomato extract, Tea Tree Leaf Oil, Aloe Extract, Calendula Flower Extract, Camellia Leaf Extract.
Thank you so much!
You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. Glycerin 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
Your mask is fine for pregnancy and nursing

Hello, I find some online information saying the ingredient Phenoxyethanol is bad for pregnancy. Some of the creams like Cerave’s eye repair cream are listed as safe but they have this ingredient, so I wanted to confirm if the cream is ok to use? Thank you very much!
