Which care products are safe to use during pregnancy?
- 4 min reading time
As a mother-to-be, you want to be sure that the care products you use are safe for you and your baby. At Boozyshop, we understand this concern and offer a guide to help you choose the right products during your pregnancy. From hair care to makeup, discover which products you can use with confidence and which ingredients to avoid.
Hair Care: Shampoo and Conditioner
During pregnancy, your hormone balance changes, which can affect your sebum production. This can mean that your hair becomes less greasy, meaning you need to wash it less often. Fortunately, most shampoos and conditioners do not contain harmful ingredients for pregnant women. However, it is advisable to choose products without synthetic fragrances and preservatives to avoid possible irritation.
Body Care: Hydration and Nutrition
Your skin can be more sensitive during pregnancy, so it’s important to use products that are gentle and natural. Choose body lotions or oils without synthetic additives to keep your skin hydrated and supple. Natural ingredients like shea butter or almond oil are great choices to nourish your skin without any harmful effects.
Also, don't forget to apply plenty of moisturizer to your belly every day. Good hydration of the skin on your belly can also prevent the formation of stretch marks and also provide relief for the tense skin on your belly.
Deodorant: Safe and Effective
Many women worry about using deodorant during pregnancy. It is advisable to choose deodorants that are free of aluminum, parabens and other synthetic substances, as these can affect your hormone balance. Natural deodorants with ingredients such as baking soda or coconut oil offer a safe and effective alternative.
Sunscreen: Protection from the Sun
Protecting your skin from the sun is always important, but during pregnancy it is essential. Your skin is more sensitive and you are at risk of getting a pregnancy mask from the sun.
Choose a sunscreen with a high protection factor that does not contain synthetic fragrances, preservatives or nano particles. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide form a physical barrier against the sun and are not absorbed by the skin, making them safe for both you and your baby.
Make-up: Radiant and Safe
Makeup can be used during pregnancy, as long as you pay attention to the ingredients. Avoid products that contain retinol, salicylic acid or glycolic acid, as these can affect your baby’s development. Instead, opt for natural makeup products without synthetic dyes and preservatives. Mineral makeup is an excellent option because of its pure composition.
Ingredients to Avoid During Pregnancy
It is important to be aware of certain ingredients that are best avoided during pregnancy:
- Retinol: A form of vitamin A that can be harmful to the fetus in high doses.
- Salicylic acid: Used against acne; concentrations above 2% may pose risks.
- Glycolic acid: Can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation and cause pigment spots.
In addition, it is wise to be careful with essential oils and caffeine in care products. If in doubt, it is always advisable to seek advice from your midwife or doctor.
Safe Supplements: Mommy Gummies
In addition to external care, it is important to support your body from the inside out. The Veganboost Mommy Gummies and the Yummygums Mommy are specially developed for women who are pregnant, want to become pregnant or are breastfeeding. These vitamins contain essential ingredients such as biotin, vitamin D and folic acid, and are free of vitamin A, making them safe during pregnancy. They not only support healthy hair, but also your skin and nails.
