Pregnancy Skincare

The following selection is for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding; products have been chosen as 'preferred' skincare to use during this time. This is not to say that all other products in the shop are not 'pregnancy safe', but the following have been selected under the following criteria: 

• essential oil free, or 
• contains very low concentration of pregnancy safe essential oils
• free of salicylates*  (salicylic acid)
• free from retinol or derivatives
• free of chemical sunscreen filters 
• free of caffeine 
• pose a low likelihood of causing irritation (skin can be more sensitive during pregnancy)

*With exception to willow and aspen bark, which are considered safe in pregnancy, as the salicylates cannot be converted to salicylic acid by the skin (They need to be internally consumed).

We always recommend to check with your doctor about questions or concerns you have on any specific products or ingredients.
