Pregnancy Products

There is so much information about there about the dos and don't of beauty products during pregnancy. It would be so helpful to know the truth about what shampoos, soaps, makeups, hair products, toothpastes, and moisturizers are safe and what we should worry the most and least about.

Thank you!

That's a BIG question. I'll talk to Perry about writing something up on this but in the meantime here's a pretty good article from WebMD on the topic. I don't agree with everything they say but overall it's pretty well done.

Here's another article that's not too bad:

Here is another resource, with a hotline. It has fact sheets about drugs, which includes acne topicals--it doesn't have fact sheets for cosmetics, but you could call the hotline. http://www.mothertobaby.org/#

But oh look--they do also have fact sheets on hair treatments and self-tanners!
