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 Supergoop! as of 3/3/2024. 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’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!
Hello! Thank you in advance for your help. I’m wondering about the Supergoop Açaí Fusion lip balm:
-Avobenzone 3%, Octinoxate, 7.5%, and Octisalate 5%
Petrolatum, Ozokerite, Beeswax, Polyester-7, Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Flavor, Sorbitan Oleate, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Polysilicone-15, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Tocopherol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Honey, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Red 27 Lake, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract.
I would avoid this due to the chemical sunscreens
Hello, I noticed that you put it as pregnancy safe for the mineral mattescreen but I was wondering if it’s also breastfeeding safe. I noticed on this particular brand you don’t have a section that puts both pregnancy and breastfeeding safe products together anywhere. Thanks for all the work you do!
Every location that has pregnancy safe is also nursing safe.
Hi Doctor,
This is not a new product, I believe, but it gets less attention compared with other Supergoop products.
https://supergoop.com/products/skin-soothing-mineral-sunscreen
It is a mineral sunscreen but it leaves your skin with almost NO white cast, and very not greasy. My oily-skinned friend really likes it ^^

Hello – I think this is a new product. Could you please let me know your thoughts on whether it is safe for pregnancy?
Zincscreen 100% Mineral sunscreen
Active Ingredients:
Zinc Oxide 13%
Inactive Ingredients:
Water, Tetradecane, Cetearyl Nonanoate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isopropyl Palmitate, Isopropyl Myristate, Glycerin, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Mica, Propanediol, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Gluconolactone, Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate, Brassica Campestris/ Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer, Propanediol, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Sodium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate, Fructose, Octyldodecyl Oleate, Tocopherol, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Dodecane, Hexadecane, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Withania Somnifera Flower Extract, Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Silica, Calcium Gluconate
I would avoid this while pregnant due to the gluconolactone. It should be ok for nursing.
I was hoping this would be safe. Do you have any recommendations for light sunscreens that are safe for pregnancy?
Here’s my post on pregnancy safe sunscreens
Hello, thank you for this site. I’m searching for a bb/cc cream that covers, but is not too heavy and has adequate spf. Any recommendations, and is this Supergoop matte screen safe? Thank you.
Active Ingredients:
Titanium Dioxide 0.7%, Zinc Oxide 17%
Inactive Ingredients:

Yes, this is fine. Mattescreen is already in the list under ok for pregnancy and nursing.
Hi, I am curious what the harm in gluconolactone is? I didn’t see it on your things to avoid during pregnancy.
It’s a polyhydroxy acid, basically an AHA/BHA but even better at penetrating into your skin.
Hello, I was going to try the play mineral sunscreen but now that they have changed the ingredients it is no longer safe for pregnancy. I am in my second trimester traveling to Hawaii soon. Do you recommend a good mineral sunscreen for the body? I have one for my face/neck but would be hard to put all over and is small packaging. Thanks!
I would actually shop for one in Hawaii, as they have very specific requirements for sunscreen due to the reefs. you can’t just bring another sunscreen there and be compliant.
Hi there! I’m wondering about the Supergoop play 100% mineral lotion spf 50. Ingredients:
Titanium Dioxide 2%, Zinc Oxide 24% Inactive Ingredients: C9-12 Alkane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Esters, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Isopropyl Palmitate, Jojoba Esters, Perilla Ocymoides (Perilla) Seed Oil, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil, Sea Water, Silica, Stearic Acid, Water

Inactive Ingredients:

Note, Julie’s comment was from 2019, and as SuperGoop reformulates most of their products every 1-2 years, those were likely accurate at the time.
This is Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to salicylate

Looks good!
I am not sure if Goop and Supergoop are the same brands but I was wondering about the G.TOX MALACHITE + FRUIT ACID PORE PURIFYING CLEANSER
It says AHA but I didn’t find glycolic acid in the description. Just wanted to make sure before ordering. Thank you so much!!! This site is brilliant.
Ingredients: Water (aqua, eau), capryloyl/caproyl methyl glucamide, lauroyl/myristoyl methyl glucamide, coco-glucoside, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, glycerin, sucrose cocoate, spondias mombin pulp extract, mangifera indica (mango) pulp extract, musa sapientum (banana) pulp extract, pelargonium graveolens (geranium) flower oil, malachite extract, eucalyptus globulus leaf oil, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf oil, citrus aurantium dulcis (sweet orange) peel oil, mentha piperita (peppermint) oil, mentha viridis (spearmint) leaf oil, schinus terebinthifolia fruit extract, xanthan gum, propanediol, canarium luzonicum gum nonvolatiles, dimethyl heptenal, pentylene glycol, sodium dehydroacetate, phenethyl alcohol, trisodium ethylenediamine disuccinate, triethyl citrate, citric acid, limonene, citronellol.
Goop and SuperGoop are separate. The first is Gwenyth’s brand (the one with the jade eggs and steaming), the other is a mostly sunscreen brand sold at Sephora and Nordstrom and such.
This product looks ok, they were likely referring to glycolic in one of the extracts (which we ignore), because this looks pregnancy and nursing safe to me.
Hi,
Can tou tell me if supergoop glow stick sunscreen is safe during pregnancy? Its has 3%avobenzone , 5%octisalate,10% octocrylene as active ingredients.
Thanks
Sorry, that’s already listed under safe for nursing but not pregnancy
Hi Doctor,
Curious if the Supergoop! X Rebecca Taylor Defense Refresh Setting Mist Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 50 is okay to use during pregnancy.
INGRDIENTS: Alcohol Denat., Butyloctyl Salicylate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Isododecane, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Stem/Leaf Oil, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, PVP, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Silica Silylate, Water.
I would avoid this with the salicylate for sure. It likely has the sunscreens listed separately (they aren’t here), but even without them this is only safe for nursing.
Hi! Can you add Glowscreen to the list? I am interested in it but unsure if it’s pregnancy safe. Thank you SO much for everything you have done, your page is the most helpful guide for mamas to be!!
I just added it, I saw it come up as a new Sephora product about 2 days after my most recent update but hadn’t added it yet. It has chemical sunscreens and a salicylate, so ok for nursing but not pregnancy
Invincible Setting Powder?
You don’t need to worry about powders.

This is the same as their Superscreen Daily Moisturizer. It’s ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to the chemical sunscreens
Thank you!
Hi Doc!
I went to order the Mattescreen Sunscreen from Sephora and the images they had available noted that it now has Salicylic Acid. I contacted Supergoop to see if they had changed their formula along with the packaging. They confirmed that they did change it to make it more reef safe.
Would you suggest that the amount they use could be safe or to avoid completely as I had read your previous post about avoiding Salicylic Acid.
Thank you in advance.
Neg
They did upgrade formulas to make things more reef safe, except that isn’t actually in the ingredient list on their site or the sephora site? So annoying and confusing. I see that graphic (which I didn’t see before… hmmmm…) I moved it down to only ok for nursing. Thanks!
Hi Doc, I contacted Supergoop on their FB and they mentioned that the Smooth and Poreless Mineral Mattescreen / now called Mattescreen does not contain Salicylic Acid. This is their reply: Hi! Confirming that Smooth and Poreless Mineral Mattescreen / now called Mattescreen does not contain Salicylic Acid. The post you sent was suggesting to use Mattescreen if you are using Salicylic Acid separately. As for the old formula, it is the exact same as the current formula just a new name and new packaging! I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions I can help with!
I’m very confused by them. I had Mattescreen under pregnancy safe (and they’re right it is NOT in the ingredients on their site or the sephora site), and then due to the images on the sephora site someone contacted them and they said it was there, so I moved it down. Now they’re changing their tune? The formula was in fact updated, but I’m not sure why they’re denying that now. So frustrating. I’m going to make a comment about checking labels, if yours doesn’t say SA it should be fine to use.

Oh that’s a shame! Thank you so much! You might want to update the list since this has replaced the Daily correct CC cream and your link above is going directly to this product now.
That’s annoying that they did that! So few of their products were safe. Thanks for letting me know. I added the CC Cream separately below, and took the link off the Daily Correct CC Cream, some people will be asking about it for a bit.
Thank you so much for putting these lists together, such a tremendous help for a busy overtired momma!
Hi! I came across this page and thought it was incredibly helpful. Can you please tell me if these below are safe during pregnancy? Also should one try and use pregnancy safe products while trying to conceive? Or is it ok to use chemical sunscreen before pregnancy.

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Hello,
I’m a a bit nervous (new first time preggo here)
I used glosunscreen the body one and face and you have it on your list as a chemical sunscreen. Will this harm my baby if I used it for 2-3 weeks not knowing about the bad affects of chemical sunscreens? I’m 5 weeks pregnant now.
This discussion will be helpful: You’ve been using a product with a “bad” ingredient
Is there a link to this specific discussion? Didn’t find it on the site and have a similar question to the OP.
If you click that link (it doesn’t show up as a link due to strangeness in my template) it takes you directly to the discussion on the correct page.
Hello! Thanks for your help in advance is the below sage for pregnancy?

Hello! I was reading your earlier comments but wasn’t sure where you stood on the Supergoop Mattescreen after all.
The Sephora website lists different ingredients than in the actual box I purchased there. I’m concerned about the polyhydroxysteaeic acid and the stearic acid.
Ingredients on website:
Zinc Oxide 17.4%, Titanium Dioxide 0.95%, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Methyl Dihydroabietate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, C9-12 Alkane, Glycerin, Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Ethylhexylglycerin, Water, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Silica, Stearic Acid, Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Hedychium Coronarium Root Extract, Lactobacillus/Arundinaria Gigantea Leaf Ferment Filtrate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Tocopherol, Tocopherol (CI 77891).
Ingredients on box (on aupergoop website):
Active Ingredients:
Titanium Dioxide 0.7%, Zinc Oxide 17%
Inactive Ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Coco-Caprylate, Isododecane, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Dimethicone/Bis-Isobutyl PPG-20 Crosspolymer, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Dimethicone, Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Water (Aqua), Isostearic Acid, Propanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Bisabolol, Alumina, Hydrogen Dimethicone, Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Buddleja Officinalis Flower Extract, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Hydrangea Arborescens Root Extract, Morus Alba Root Extract, Polysorbate 20, Resveratrol, Scutellaria Lateriflora Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Pentapeptide-21
The comments above were all with previous versions of the product, note they’re before this post was most recently redone (it’s always noted in the text, in this case 3/2021). On occasion when there are different versions out there at stores when brands are revamping their formulas.
Both lists you posted are fine for pregnancy and nursing. Both ingredients you mentioned are fatty acids and are fine for pregnancy and nursing. 🙂
Hello! So I’ve been thinking of trying out the Glowscreen (which I see above as safe for nursing, not pregnancy). I think my question for you, however, is less about that specific product, and more around your thoughts on chemical sunscreens in general? When I was TTC, I read “It Starts With the Egg,” and a LOT of factors I think have led to me having a bit of a complex about endocrine disruptors at this point (my age – late 30s; I lost my first pregnancy due to miscarriage; reading that book; my mom got breast cancer the same year I miscarried…etc.). I’m in a better place now (therapy, medication, and time have all helped a bunch), and am now trying to get to a more relaxed place with regard to the products I use, i.e., more of a balance between using products that are safe, while still enjoying life (and using products I don’t hate is part of that). To that point, I kinda hate mineral sunscreen. It’s just so gross and heavy. Hence wanting to try this chemical sunscreen! But I’m interested in your take on how “bad” the chemical sunscreens are for us; especially for someone like me who would like another child at some point, has a family history of hormone-related cancer, etc. Thanks so much in advance.
The reason currently to avoid chemical sunscreens while pregnant or TTC is due to the risk of hirschsprung’s disease or because many of them are salicylates. We haven’t proven anything yet regarding their endocrine disruption while pregnant, and that’s much more likely to be so subtle that we can’t prove anything. I expect we would outright ban them for general use even before we could prove anything while pregnant. Personally, I think there are enough other reasons to avoid while pregnant, and that translates over to TTC as you should be assuming you’re pregnant already. Not sure if that helps any.
Hi, thank you for this. That totally makes sense with regard to pregnancy and TTC. With regard to chemical sunscreens and general health (so not when pregnant or TTC, but just living life), let me know if I understood you correctly – the endocrine disrupting properties of chemical sunscreens are subtle enough that it’s probably not worth worrying about? Or this is potentially a real health concern (hence the part about the possibility of banning them outright for general use)?
It’s so subtle currently from a chemical sunscreen that I wouldn’t worry about it currently, at least for humans (it’s different for other species, such as reef animals, hence the new emphasis on reef safe sunscreens). There’s active ongoing research at this time, so that might change in the future. An endocrine disruptor that I would worry more about would be very large amounts of lavender oil/extract. A little bit (like what’s found in most lotions for example) is fine, but I wouldn’t take the straight oil and rub it all over your body daily for example.
Hi, thank you again. This is definitely helpful in my decision making as I work on shifting my comfort level. Really appreciate it!
Hi Doc!
Is this Supergoop Scalp Sunscreen product safe for use?
SuperGoop Poof 100% Mineral Part Powder SPF 35
Active Ingredients: Zinc Oxide 24.7%
Inactive Ingredients: Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Lauroyl Lysine, Polyglyceryl-10 Pentaisostearate, Boron Nitride, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Ethylhexylglycerin, Nylon-6/12, Sodium Dehyrdoacetate, Olive Glycerides, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ceramide 3, May contain Iron Oxides (CI 77492, 77491, 77499)
It’s fine, but it’s also a powder which you don’t need to worry about (so even less worrisome) 🙂
Thank you so much!
It’s so hard to know when a “chemical sunscreens” are in hair products.
I read your post “Why are you saying my favorite product has a chemical sunscreen when it doesn’t have an SPF?” mentioning these: Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (aka- Octinoxate) for most brands, Benzophenone-3, Benzophenone-4, Benzophenone-5
Any those the only ones I should be looking out for, or are there any others to remember? Thanks again 🙂
There’s a huge list of them that I’ve memorized, and I swear I find new ones all the time. Anything that is long and strange looking and I don’t recognize it I google to see if it is a chemical sunscreen.

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Hello, Doctor. THANK YOU for all your input on all of this.
I was going to order the Supergoop mineral sunscreens you confirmed are safe. But I found polyhydroxy acids in the ingrediants list of the product, which you pointed out are not pregnancy safe in the ingrediants post. Did you also see them in the list and decided they are still safe, or should I avoid the product now that I checked they have polyhydroxy acids?
Didn’t know pregnancy has all these things to care about!! Thank you for being a guide here again.
There aren’t any PHAs in the full ingredients, and I don’t see any called out as key ingredients either. So I’m not sure where you are getting that there are PHAs? The only one to worry about is gluconolactone, and that isn’t in any of the 3 mineral based safe products. Unless you are referring to the Polyhydroxystearic Acid, which is not a PHA but is actually a wax often used as a thickener.
There are some “key ingredients” that I ignore when they aren’t listed separately on the ingredient list, info here: I see X ingredient in the key ingredients on the website, why are you ignoring it?
I was referring to the polyhydroxystearic acid that I saw in the list. It looked pretty similar to PHA you pointed out in the other post, so I wanted to make sure. Thank you for clearing it out. You said yourself the companies update ingredients pretty often, and I just wanted to make sure if your recommendation was after the current ingredients settled. Thank you for the quick response.
I looked at all 3 again just today looking for a hidden gluconolactone, they’re still safe 🙂
Thank you so much. Your blog is a huge help!!!!!
Thank you so much for all you do. This has been an amazing resource and help. I was wondering about the C12-15 alkyl benzoate in the mineral mattescreen. Is that related to Benzoyl Peroxide or is it safe & shouldn’t be a worry? Thanks again!
It’s an emollient and not at all related to benzoyl peroxide. I actually just redid this list (look at the date!) I’ve likely spent hundreds or perhaps thousands of hours on these lists… it wouldn’t make sense for to to do all that work and include things I think aren’t safe, right?
Hi Doc, just wanted to ask about these 2 items.
I saw these two products in your safe list above, but somehow these 2 have salicylate and gluconolactone . Just want to check if I understand it correctly 🙂

Yes. I JUST redid this entire list. You’ll see both ingredients that I called out in the full ingredient lists below.
Sorry to bother you again, but I can’t seem to see the list here though.
Thanks in advance!
The post above? The list of all the products. I just redid it.
Hi Doc,
I noticed that the Zinscreen 100% mineral lotion is still in your safe list above, but from the ingredients list, it has gluconolactone in it. Thank you
Thanks for catching that!
Hi, I noticed that you have the Supergoop! 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Stick in the safe category but the ingredients list has that it contains Butyloctyl Salicylate. I’m confused because other products that share the ingredient are listed in the not safe for pregnancy category. Would you clarify this please? Thank you!
That’s my fault, I somehow missed the salicylate! I’m sometimes human.
Hey, I would like to know if SUPERGOOP! PLAY EVERYDAY LOTION SPF 50 WITH SUNFLOWER EXTRACT is ok for pregnancy?

Supergoop doesn’t vary by country. This is more an issue with very large companies such as Lancome and Estee Lauder.
Thank you 🙏
Hi Doctor, could you please review the ingredients in Supergoop! Mineral Sheer Screen SPF 30? Thanks!
Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 1.33%, Zinc Oxide 17.42%.

Your Canadian version looks fine for pregnancy and nursing, but check the actual product closely as the US versions (via the brand and sephora) have salicylate in them and aren’t pregnancy safe.
Hi! Is the new matte screen formula still okay?

Long time reader, first time poster! What about the Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride that’s in some of the Supergoop (and soooo many other products)? Is that ingredient pregnancy safe? Thank you!
It’s fine. Everything to worry about is discussed here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Hello – I am interested in the following product:
Supergoop!

Ingredients
-1% Bioretinol (Bakuchiol): Visibly nourishes skin and helps reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Thank you!!
Avoid in pregnancy and nursing due to the bakuchiol (it works via the same retinoid receptors as actual retinoids, there’s no reason to think it’s actually safe except that no one has studied it. But it works the same way…)
Also need to avoid the salicylate in pregnancy.
Hiya! Is this safe for pregnancy? It is the Supergoop play mineral lotion spf 50? Thanks!

Hi ,
Supergoop mineral matte contains steric acid . Is that ok during pregnancy please ?
From one of the online articles –
stearic acid can enter the bloodstream, into the fetus and cause metabolic disorders of the fetus’s body.
Thanks.
It’s already naturally in humans, it’s fine.
Can you look over this please:

Hello! Thank you for your guidance on these products. Do you have an opinion on the safety of Polymethyl Methacrylate in the Supergoop (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35? I’m looking for a powder sunscreen that can be used to top off my usual sunscreen/makeup throughout the day, but am not sure of the safety of this ingredient during pregnancy. Thank you so much!
https://supergoop.com/products/mineral-setting-powder?variant=32056031051874&utm_source=GOOGLE&utm_medium=Paid-Search&utm_campaign=21608162630&utm_content=164201530497&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiuC2BhDSARIsALOVfBIEU_f6-mu-jbEOQs5GgZv7445LPnklRmrbj_cGUGzALOs7fgdjM7MaAmCmEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Ingredients: Zinc Oxide 24.7%, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Lauroyl Lysine, Polyglyceryl-10 Pentaisostearate, Boron Nitride, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Ethylhexylglycerin, Nylon-6/12, Sodium Dehyrdoacetate, Olive Glycerides, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ceramide 3, May contain Iron Oxides (CI 77492, 77491, 77499)
This is a powder, which you don’t need to worry about anyways. Please refer to this post: Pregnancy Safe Makeup Post. I don’t have any particular thoughts on that ingredient, it isn’t one that I screen out. It’s worth noting that SPF powders are basically worthless. In order to achieve the stated SPF the average person needs 1.2g of powder. The entire product is only 4.2g of powder.
Thank you very much!
