A member asked:

I am looking for safe products (a cleanser, a daily moisturizer, a sunscreen, a night moisturizer) to be used during pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

General rule: Over the counter liquids/creams/lotions you apply to external skin do not penetrate the skin deep enough for the material to enter the blood. Only those chemicals/meds that enter the blood could cause a problem with a fetus. I would not be concerned about these products unless you see a warning on the label.
