Are cosmetics bad for pregnant women?

Halia

I haven't tried an organic make-up yet. Some cosmetics could be harmful to the unborn babies,
especially those with chemicals and preservatives. I could use a little blush and mascara but I'm
wary using lip balm or lipsticks as they're ingested easily coz applied on the lips.
BTW, those anti-aging should be avoided because they have high doses of Vitamin A which is bad for the baby

Idalia

Exactly. This is so not a good time for those anti-aging products as I think our hormones could only do two things to us during pregnancy- make us bloom or put our skins and faces in doom!

I think I couldn't live without lipstick when I get pregnant so might opt for organic ones albeit their odd scent.

I guess a little won't be harmful. Just the right amount to put a little color or add some "flush" to our skin should be fine.

I've been wearing make up when I was pregnant... not everyday and not really heavy. Just a bit of face powder, a bit of blush on, mascara, and a gloss. My baby's fine! I guess you just don't have to over do it. ^^

Check out www.lavera.com
They got a wide array of cosmetics which are all natural, organic and cruelty free. Extra appealing for the animal lovers in us!

I've recently discovered Saffron Rouge. I may not be pregnant but I feel like I'll be a fan of their organic cosmetics, especially the "Raw coconut cream" make-up remover which made my facial cleaning more heavenly. A bit expensive but extremely effective for me especially for my eyelashes.

I personally don't see any problems with make-up during pregancy. It actually makes me feel good about myself

Halia

Less is ok but with the phthalates and paraben present on cosmetics these days, it's sure scary hun.

Gaetana

I so agree with this. Just a little and it shouldn't be fine.
