Pregnancy safe beauty products 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 pregnancy safe products from Weleda as of 9/20/2024 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.

Primrose oil is fine for pregnancy and nursing.
all of these products are ok
Hello doctor,
Thank you very much for your great website that helps so many women around the world to take wise and informed decisios :). I am pregnant with my first baby, and I kindly would like to ask your advice on these two sun lotion products from Weleda during the pregnancy and breastfeeding. Which one do you recommend to buy a SPF 30 or a SPF 50?
I am wondering also about the SPF this since I live in Sweden, and hence our exposure to sun light during the year is quite limited to mostly during the summer months.
Thanks again for your time and help
Have a great day.
*Weleda Kids Edelweiss Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30, 150 ml
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Titanium Dioxide, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Alcohol, Glycerin, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Stearic Acid, Leontopodium Alpinum Flower/Leaf/ Stem Extract, Magnesium Sulfate, LacticAcid, Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil, Glyceryl Caprylate, Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate, Alumina.
*Weleda Kids Edelweiss Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, 50 ml
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Titanium Dioxide, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Alcohol, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Stearic Acid, Alumina, Leontopodium Alpinum Flower / Leaf / Stem Extract, Magnesium Sulfate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil.
They’re both safe for pregnancy and nursing. With the hormones during pregnancy it’s best to go with the highest SPF that you can tolerate to use correctly, it’s a great time to develop melasma.
Thank you so much Doctor đŸ™‚

Hello Doctor!
If you have a moment could you look over these ingredients?

Lactate is fine
skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Ok thanks sorry I just checked that list!
I had seen a few sites saying white mallow extract And borage seed oil may not be safe during pregnancy, but it’s not on your list to avoid so should be fine right?
Also, this isn’t skin care related but are hemp seeds ok to consume during pregnancy? I love the extra protein boost.
Thanks again for all your help<3
Those ingredients are both fine for pregnancy/nursing.
I recommend avoiding all hemp during pregnancy and nursing, especially ingested. This is my blurb for topical hemp/CBD, but it would apply more so if you’re eating it:
There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.
Hi Doc,

I also have a small question that can benefit many pregnant women. I noticed that some of the Weleda products that contain Almond oil are listed as safe in this list. However, I have read many sources that claim that Almond oil is not safe during pregnancy and is associated with preterm birth. Is that true?
Thanks a lot!!

Almonds can still be eaten while pregnant (a much higher level of exposure than in a product) and is fine topically.
Hi Dr.
Thanks alot for this helpful post! I have a question, you mentioned the Calendula shampoo as safe for pregnancy, however Calendula is considered as unsafe during pregnancy. So how is the shampoo safe?
Thanks alot in advance!!
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
