Skincare Safety During Pregnancy
Because some of the product you use before pregnancy, may not be recommended.
Most over-the-counter skin care products are safe during pregnancy. But, products containing retinoids, hydroquinone, and phthalates may not be safe. Gentler ingredients include aloe vera, coconut oil, and cocoa butter.
The American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD) recommends speaking with a healthcare professional before applying any products to stretch marks. This is because some creams, lotions, and gels that claim to treat stretch marks contain retinol, which can harm a fetus.
​
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends using a heavy moisturizer during pregnancy to help keep the skin soft.
