Pregnancy and skincare
Can I still use ECOOKING products when I am pregnant? This question often comes up in our inbox, and we understand that figuring out which skincare products you can use during pregnancy can be a bit of a minefield.
Can I still use products from ECOOKING when I’m pregnant?
That said, we advise against using a few products during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as they contain vitamin A or acids:
- Vitamin A serum 0,15 %
- Vitamin A serum 0,30 %
- Clay Mask
- AHA+BHA Mask
Peeling Mask contains the AHA acids lactic acid and glycolic acid, but you can use it while pregnant or breastfeeding. Your skin may react differently during this time, so first test the mask on a small patch of skin, for example near your jaw, and see how your skin reacts. If in doubt, ask your midwife or doctor.
Bakuchiol instead of retinol?
Many people take a break from retinol and other forms of vitamin A while pregnant and look for an alternative. Bakuchiol is a plant compound that is often mentioned because it is gentle on the skin and can make fine lines less visible. Bakuchiol is not a form of vitamin A, but we are not aware of any studies showing whether it is safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
If you are considering using bakuchiol while pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your midwife or doctor first.
