Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Philosophy

Pregnancy Safe Skincare from Philosophy

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 Philosophy as of 8/4/2024. 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 went through the whole brand and only included the safe items in this list (it’s a hold over from the previous post that was HUGE and had to get broken up into brand pages). There’s actually about 5 purity made simple lotions/moisturizers, if yours isn’t listed than it wasn’t.

      Hi purity made simple face cleanser has yellow number 5. Why do you say it’s considered safe for pregnancy and nursing?

      • 10.6.24
        Christine said:

        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

      No, I wouldn’t use it while pregnant due to the retinoid, and if you’re really conservative about your nursing skincare some wouldn’t use it then either. The activator is fine during pregnancy.

        Hi Doc,

        Thanks so much for all your comprehensive work!

        Is the Amazing Grace Firming Body Emulsion safe for pregnancy?

        It contains Butylphenyl Methylpropional, is that ok? Read mixed things online.

        Hi Doctor,

        Quick question: when there are two different ingredient lists, one from a retail store and one from the manufacturer website, which one should we go with? For example on the above Philosophy Amazing Grace Firming Body Emulsifier, the Ulta ingredients list includes Benzyl Salycilate while the Philosophy website does not. I only saw the Ulta list so automatically put it to the side, since I know salycilates are no-no’s for pregnancy. Checking the Philosophy website, however, it does not list Benzyl Salycilate as an ingredient. I know formulations change too. Would you advise us to be conservative and not use if two lists state different things?

        Thanks

          I always screen the products using the brand’s website. I would check your actual product, but in general big brands keep their lists very up to date and retailers lag behind them.
