A member asked:
The moisturizing cream contains stearic acid, i'm 8weeks pregnant. does this harm baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are no restrictions on moisturizing creams available over the counter. This is a common emulsifying agent. A good general rule in pregnancy though is if you are personally uncomfortable doing, drinking or eating something out of fear then you can avoid it.
