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 pregnancy safe skincare products from Drunk Elephant as of 7/18/2024. 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.

Is C tango safe for pregant mom??
I have reviewed the entire line, if your product isn’t listed above then it isn’t safe.
Just curious what ingredient(s) in the C-Tango eye cream makes it unsafe during pregnancy. I really wanted to try it but was bummed to see that it’s not on the safe list. Thanks!
Licorice root (Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate)
Can you use the TLC while breast feeding??
The TLC that I’ve screened are listed as ok for nursing.
Hello
Regarding the safety of T.L.C Sukari Babyfacial when nursing; the website notes that it is not to be used when nursing (under How to Use). Can you clarify the reason for inclusion in the safe for nursing list here? Thank you!
This discussion: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
Is the protini polypeptide cream sage during pregnancy?
No, it’s the list under ok for nursing but not pregnancy.

Hi , im wondering if silica ingredients in skincare is safe for pregnancy? Thanks
yes
Is Drunk Elephant Protini moisturizer safe? Their site says it is, but I saw you did not list it here.
I have a stricter definition of pregnancy safe than Drunk Elephant.
Thanks for this list. 3 of my staple skincare products are on the not safe for pregnancy list. Going to switch back to CeraVe for now! Really thankful you put this list together.
I hate when that happens! I hope you find products that work!
Hello!
I see that you have listed the Lala Whipped Cream as pregnancy safe, but since I live in Norway the formula might be different here. Would you please check the ingredients listed on the EU site 🙂

Hello! So the Sukari baby facial is safe for nursing women? When I asked Drunk Elephant on their ig, they mentioned that it isnt, now I’m confused as I really would love to try it!
I don’t know what their criteria are for nursing women, but I think it’s fine.
Hello.. can Joken Creme bleach be used during breastfeeding.. the Ingredients being:
CREME INGREDIENTS: WATER, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, ISOPROPYL MYRISTATE, STEARYL STEARATE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, STEARIC ACID, STEARAMIDOPROPYL DIMETHYLAMINE, PHOSPHORIC ACID
ACCELERATOR: AMMONIUM BICARBONATE
It’s ok while nursing for sure
Hello, I noticed you put the cocomino shampoo in the pregnancy safe category, but I don’t see the cocomino conditioner on the safe or not safe list. Is the conditioner safe as well?
Conditioner is applied to the ends of your hair, so you don’t need to worry about it. Info here: Hair products to worry about
This is amazing you rock!
Is the soybean extract safe in the protini while pregnant? I know eating a lot of soy isn’t reccomended but didn’t know how that translated to skincare
I wouldn’t go crazy eating a lot of soy, but you’ll get a lot more exposure from eating 1 tofu cube than applying it topically for a year. Should be ok!
Thank you for providing this snapshot, it’s extremely worthwhile as the girl in a Mecca store today wasn’t even sure which products are safe during breastfeeding….
Thanks for your site, it’s amazing.
This is a new product from Drunk Elephant. Is this pregnancy safe? Thank-you.

I just wanted to confirm that both of these products are safe for use during pregnancy and nursing, or nursing only?
Thank you SO much!!!
Both. I put it in the list above when it was released.
thank you so much for your info! the A-Passioni retinol I was more curious about. I see that you say it is iffy, do some still use it?
Some people use retinoids while nursing, but more and more lately I see OBs recommending avoidance during nursing. I’m not sure what the reasoning is (is it just a conservative interpretation of the avoidance during pregnancy and extending it longer?), I am unaware of any new studies that came out and I’ve looked quite a bit.
From what I’ve read, use of retinol during pregnancy can result in a number of deformities. The studies seem to agree that within 2 weeks of last usage a woman is safe to conceive, but some suggest waiting one month since last use.
The 1 month isn’t really based on anything, just an educated guess unfortunately.
What about the night serum? I’ve read glycolic acid is one of the safe ones.
The night serum is listed in this post under not safe for pregnancy. Glycolic acid is highly absorbed by your skin (about 28% according to one study) and should be avoided during pregnancy. Please refer to my post on ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.
Hi Christine! I’m not 100% sure but I think drunk elephant changed formulas with the Beste Jelly Cleanser and now has licorice root in it. Here are the ingredients from their US website:
Ingredients: Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Coco-Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Methyl Oleoyl Taurate, Propanediol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Glycolipids, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid, Lauryl Glucoside, Cucumis Melo Cantalupensis Fruit Extract, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Tocopherol, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Chloride, Polylysine
I thought I’d flag it since you get enough ingredient lists to sort through!!! Although I guess since it’s hardly on the skin for more than a minute, maybe it doesn’t matter? I don’t know.
Sigh. That is different. I’m glad you caught that! You’re right that cleanser usually isn’t on the skin for long, though some cleansers do leave a little bit of residue behind so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
B Hydra also has licorice root in it now. Makes me wonder if they’re adding it to other products as well.
From Drunk Elephant’s website:
B-Hydra™ Intensive Hydration Serum
Ingredients: Water/Aqua/Eau, Coconut Alkanes, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Wheat Amino Acids, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract, Berberis Vulgaris Root Extract, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Panthenol, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Niacinamide, Cyclodextrin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Lactate, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyproline, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Ethylhexylglycerin
I’ll check other products as well, but it could also be that the list was just wrong on the site previously. I’m at the mercy of the websites having correctly listed ingredients. Thanks for catching this!
I’m glad I could help! It’s fun playing skin care detective 😉
I am unable to find licorice root in the ingredients list for b-hydra. It does contain barberry root, but as far as I know, this is a different plant.
Here are the ingredients as listed on the site.
Water/Aqua/Eau, Coconut Alkanes, Ammonium
Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol,
Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Wheat Amino Acids, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple)
Fruit Extract, Berberis Vulgaris Root Extract, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon)
Fruit Extract, Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit
Extract, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Panthenol, Sodium PCA, Sodium
Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Niacinamide,
Cyclodextrin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Lactate, Phenoxyethanol,
Hydroxyproline, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Citric Acid, Caprylyl
Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Ethylhexylglycerin
It’s the Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
Why does Drunk Elephant recommend tlc during pregnancy then? Maybe the 1% salicylic isn’t significant? Idk but it’s really weird that there’s such split in opinions, it makes it so confusing for new moms like me. Is there any other product like the tlc then that’s safe?
It’s because there are differences in opinion regarding safety, there are very few actual studies that have been done, the real studies that would be ideal to prove safety are unethical to perform. So it’s all based on inference and assumptions. Salicylic Acid was on the list my OB told me to avoid, as were most of the ingredients I screen for now. But there are brands out there that will just claim their product is safe in order to sell more. I can think of an oil marketed to pregnant women that has retinoids right now, they advertise that it prevents stretch marks (nothing topical really works though). I’m on the conservative side for what I recommend.
Bummer I just ordered the TLC framboos based on drunk elephant advising that this was safe during pregnancy. Appreciate your high standards. Thank you !
I’m continually trying to keep the website updated. I’m trying anyways!
Is the new updated Lala retro safe? They just changed it and added more ingredients and ceramides to it.
Thanks
Ingredients
-Six Rare African Oil Blend: Nurtures, rejuvenates, and moisturizes.
-Ceramides AP, EOP, and NP: Help soothe and maintain the moisture balance of skin while protecting against water loss.
-Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer: Has a smaller molecular weight than hyaluronic acid and can deeply penetrate skin, delivering excellent hydration and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hi,
Is the new F-Balm Eyetrolyte waterfacial mask safe?
4-Electrolyte Blend: Antioxidant-rich and powerful humectant ingredients (coconut water, sodium PCA, magnesium PCA, and prickly pear extract), electrolytes are vital to helping maintain hydration levels in skin, improving barrier strength and lipid content, calming redness, and protecting against environmental dehydration.
-Vitamin F: Soothing fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic) play a vital role in maintaining hydration levels, improving skin texture and suppleness, reducing redness, and improving acid-mantle strength.
-Niacinamide: AKA vitamin B3, niacinamide has a wide range of benefits, most notably its ability to improve signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness) as well as uneven tone and texture; research has demonstrated that niacinamide, even in low concentrations, can help strengthen a compromised skin barrier, boost skin’s synthesis of ceramides and cholesterol—both essential substances in barrier health and elasticity—and improve skin’s defenses against water loss.

Hi, I bought the shaba complex firming eyecream as It is listed safe under pregnancy safe- one of the ingredient i see is edelweiss stem cell. I know you mentioned you would avoid stemcells all together, is this different type you think it’s safe? Or has the company changed its ingreidents?
I will list the full ingredients i see here. Thanks!!!

This is a cell culture, not stem cells. The cell culture is basically a broth, there might be some cells in it but my understanding from discussing with different brands is that those are different things. My thoughts on stem cells are here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. But, I doubt the stem cells can really penetrate down into the skin and interact the way some brands say (and none of them have ever shown me evidence that they actually work in that way). I’m mostly saying to exercise caution because they’re kind of an unknown. Most likely the cells are dead if they’re present (they’re not properly maintained in a jar of cream), and they sit on the surface of the skin.
Exactly the answer I was looking for. Thank you so much!! ☺️
My OBGYN said Glycolic Acid is safe during pregnancy…
It’s not universally accepted by all OBs and pediatricians as safe (I’m a pediatrician, we get very specific training regarding ingredient safety when used by mom). It’s absorbed at least 28% into the body and we don’t really have safety info beyond that. My list of ingredients to avoid during pregnancy is pretty conservative. Note, I put on each product the ingredient I was concerned about. If you’re fine with glycolic acid, you can easy see which products have just that ingredient as the one I was worried about.
I have been using the tlc night serum and I’m about seven months pregnant. When I asked my OB at the beginning of the pregnancy she had no idea and just said don’t use retinoids. I went by the companies safety comment saying it was fine for pregnancy. I’m now very worried.
I have info on these situations in this post:
pregnancy beauty FAQ
If you consider Glycolic Acid as unsafe, why did you list the Sephora brand Glow Peel Pads as safe when it’s mainly glycolic acid? I should probably ask this on the Sephora page. Genuinely curious!!
Thanks again for your research.
It’s likely been reformulated, it was previously lactic acid based. I’m going to re-screen all of the Sephora products. The brand is overdue for that anyways, but I’m starting this am. There’s >400 products listed, so hopefully it won’t take forever!
Hi Doctor!!
Thank you so much for your help!! I love reading your posts!
Do you think this Hibiscus cream is safe for pregnancy/nursing?

Looks ok for both!
Hi! I was wondering about DE’s new deodorant and how you feel about it. Also, if you have any pregnany-safe deodorant suggestions! Thank you.
-Mandelic Acid: Derived from almonds, mandelic acid is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that is both water and lipid-soluble, which is a quality that allows it to penetrate and work within the hair follicle; mandelic acid is also an excellent killer of odor-causing bacteria while being milder to skin than glycolic acid (due to its larger molecule size).
-Arrowroot Powder: Super-absorbent powder derived from the roots of the arrowroot plant.
-Shea Butter: A concentrated butter derived from the shea fruit; shea butter has a complex triglyceride composition that gives its characteristic rich, emollient properties and skin-barrier protection.
Water/Aqua/Eau, Mandelic Acid, Maranta Arundinacea Root Powder, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isononyl Isononanoate, Glycerin, Tapioca Starch, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cetearyl Olivate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Sorbitan Olivate, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil, Schinziophyton Rautanenii Kernel Oil, Sclerotium Gum, Panthenol, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed Extract, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Hydroxide.
I recommend avoiding the mandelic acid during pregnancy, but this is ok for nursing
There’s a post about pregnancy safe deodorants, in general most of the drugstore ones are fine, it’s when you try to go fancy or all natural that things aren’t safe for pregnancy.

Is Drunk Elephant’s Cocomino Marula Cream Conditioner safe for pregnancy?
It is a new product this year and I do not see it on your list yet. Thank you!
why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety
In general, you don’t need to worry about conditioners as they should only be applied to the hair shaft, which can’t absorb anything.
Oh, sorry for not including the ingredients. Are these pregnancy-safe? Thanks so much for your time and response.

Thanks so much, Christine! I was confused about this one as the Drunk Elephant website listed it as pregnancy-safe.
I’m more conservative than some brands. I think I put some info about that here: pregnancy beauty FAQ
That makes sense, and I fully appreciate your conservative approach, as well as the time you’ve invested in sharing your expertise on here. It’s been extremely helpful and informative. I’m learning a lot by reading your posts!

-Micellar Cleansing Blend: A mix of ultra-gentle, dirt- and pollution-capturing surfactants and emollients.
– Three-Ceramide Blend: Ceramides AP, NP, and EOP are derived from plant sources and are identical to the wax-like moisturizing ceramides that occur naturally in skin and help soothe and maintain the moisture balance of skin while protecting against water loss. Ceramides help fill in the spaces between skin cells, giving them elasticity, and play a critical role in strengthening the skin barrier.
-Wild-Melon Seed Oil: Cold pressed and rich in omega 6 and 9 fatty acids (linoleic and oleic) as well as antioxidant polyphenols, this oil is used for its soothing, moisturizing, and barrier-supportive benefits.

I’m not certain if the Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to glycolic acid, and possible stem cell ingredients
Hi, thank you for your time! I wanted to confirm if glycolic acid and salicylic acid are both safe for breastfeeding moms? I just bought T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Night Serum based on this website but another website such as this (https://dermtodoor.com/products/drunk-elephant-t-l-c-framboos-glycolic-night-serum) is saying “doctor’s tips
In the evening, apply to clean dry face, neck, chest and backs of hands. Cannot use if pregnant or nursing.” Thank you!
They’re fine. Ingredients to worry about while nursing
Also this: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)

Yes, everything pregnancy safe is also ok for nursing
Hello!
I love Drunk Elephant’s Protini Polypeptide Cream, but see it is deemed not safe due to glycolic acid. I reached out to DE customer service for more info and this is what they said:
“ The Lactic/Glycolic Acid Copolymer in Protini Cream is created by the co-polymerization (sticking together) of lactic and glycolic acid molecules. It is used as a suspension agent for the peptides – so, it is not acidic and has no exfoliation properties.”
Does that by chance change anything or would you still consider it not safe to use during pregnancy?
Greatly appreciate your help!
Unfortunately just because they’re using it for another purpose doesn’t mean that it is no longer glycolic acid and can’t have the same effects. I would still recommend looking for a different product to use.
Where is the glycolic in this product? I read some other pregnancy sites and so many say this is pregnancy safe. Im so confused!
Glycolic Acid is listed in the full ingredients.
This discussion will help: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)

I’m confused about Drunk Elephant F-Balm. I just got a sampler of it, and was really enjoying it. I was going to order a full size one. I see it is listed here as pregnancy safe, but in reading the ingredients just now I also noticed it has ferulic acid. I had read that is not pregnancy safe. What is the scoop on this? Thanks
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
Why is licorice root not safe for pregnancy?
It acts on the same receptors as arbutin and hydroquinone. Discussion here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Hello,
I am confused with between “glycolic acid” and glycol in pentylene glycol, butylene glycol and caprylyl glycol. Are these different than glycolic acid which you are saying is unsafe during pregnancy? Because other products with glycol are listed in the safe category. Thank you in advance .
They’re all different ingredients. You only need to worry when actual glycolic acid is listed.
Hi,
Thanks so much for this guide! I have used it so much through pregnancy and now 11 months nursing.
The Drunk Elephant Baby Facial product is listed as safe for nursing here but on the drunk elephant website says shouldn’t be used when breastfeeding. Why would this be?
Many Thanks in advance!
Please read this: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
Hi, thanks so much for all of your help. I was hoping you could clarify if the BABY FACIAL is okay for nursing, it states not on their website but is in your included list above?
T.L.C. SUKARI BABYFACIAL™: 1.69 FL OZ
– 25% AHA Blend of Glycolic + (T) Tartaric, (L) Lactic, and (C) Citric Acids: Exfoliates surface dead skin cells and revs up surface turnover to smooth and brighten the appearance of skin.
– 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): Penetrates and exfoliates inside pore walls as well as on the surface of the skin, unclogging pores, and providing greater skin clarity while also soothing redness.
– Chickpea Flour: Balances and brightens skin’s appearance while combating dullness.
– Matcha (Green Tea Leaf), Milk Thistle, and Apple Extracts: With potent antioxidant and anti-pollution properties, these extracts help condition and soothe skin.
– Pumpkin Ferment Extract: A rich source of fatty acids and antioxidant carotenoids (like carotene and lutein), plus naturally occurring enzymes that aid in gentle exfoliation.
– Pomegranate Extract: Potent antioxidant properties defend against pollution, free radicals, and other damaging environmental stressors.
– Cactus Extract: Calms and soothes redness and sensitivity that results from exposure to topical AHAs.
– Passionfruit Seed Oil: Has antioxidant properties, improves dryness and reduces redness.
– Virgin Marula Oil: This super-absorbable oil, high in critical antioxidants and omegas 6 and 9, helps moisturize, nourish, and rejuvenate skin for a youthful glow.
– Niacinamide: Aka vitamin B3, niacinamide has a wide range of benefits, most notably its ability to improve signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness) as well as uneven tone and texture.
– Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer: With a smaller molecular weight than hyaluronic acid, this ingredient is able to deeply penetrate skin, delivering excellent hydration and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting firmness.
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glycolic Acid, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Salicylic Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract, Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Ferment Extract, Lactobacillus/Punica Granatum Fruit Ferment Extract, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Silybum Marianum Seed Extract, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Juice Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder, Cicer Arietinum Seed Powder, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Sodium PCA, Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Dextrin, Polydextrose, Sorbitan Isostearate, Amylopectin, Niacinamide, Phytosphingosine, Lactic Acid, Propanediol, Citric Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Polysorbate 60, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol

Hi! Could you kindly please remove Shaba Complex from the Pregnancy Safe list? I saw that it is now on the bottom of your list at the Not Safe section and this was very confusing for a first time pregnancy. Thank you!
I removed the safe one. But, FYI, there were previously 2 Shaba eye complex serums. 1 was shaba without retinoid, then they added a-shaba with. I”m not trying to be confusing, but I need to be complete. That’s why you should always click the link to the exact product. There are many brands with identically named products that are in different product categories.
I want to know why you are saying products are safe for pregnancy and nursing when they have sodium benzonate or benzoic acid in them? Research says to avoid these products.
You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. Neither of those are 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 noticed the Drunk Elephant Ceramide AF cream has avocado oil and lists vitamin A – isn’t vitamin A to be avoided in pregnancy?
“ Avocado Oil: Oil extracted from the kernel of the avocado. Rich in essential unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins A, E and D, it is an excellent source of moisture and a skin-soother. Its high content of plant sterols makes it a powerful softener for dry, deprived skin.”
Ingredients: Water/Aqua/Eau, Octyldodecanol, Glycerin, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Butter, Linoleic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Palmitic Acid, Pentylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil, Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Ceramide AP, Ceramide NP, Ceramide EOP, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Panthenol, Linolenic Acid, Adenosine, Beta-Glucan, Quercetin, Allantoin, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Phytosphingosine, Cholesterol, Xanthan Gum, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Propanediol, Citric Acid, Ceteareth-20, Sodium Carbonate, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Chloride, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Hydroxide, Chlorphenesin, Carbomer, Ethylhexylglycerin
It’s within the extracts, you only need to worry when the vitamin A is a retinoid added as a chemical. I’ve screened it correctly. Discussion here: I see X ingredient in the key ingredients on the website, why are you ignoring it?
Thank you so much for clarifying! I was so worried bc I’ve been using several products with that ingredient (cetaphil moisturizer daily and this DF eye cream).
Thanks again! Love your website!
Hi!
Can you clarify how the Drunk Elephant Ceramide AF Eye Balm is pregnancy safe if it has avocado oil (vitamin a)? I thought we were to stay away from anything vitamin A during pregnancy? Thanks for clarifying!

You only need to worry about the Vitamin A when it is added as a chemical. Within extracts/oils it is fine.
