Base Beauty designs for mothers in mind. We have curated a skincare range of scientifically backed products specially formulated to address the unique skincare needs during and after pregnancy. All Base Beauty products are safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding, and do not contain harmful ingredients. The ingredients list is available on each product page.

How Does Your Skin Change During Pregnancy?

Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy significantly alters your skin, and could lead to increased sensitivity, dryness, or the emergence of conditions like acne or melasma. It’s essential to adapt your skincare routine accordingly by opting for gentle, hydrating, and non-irritating products that are safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.

What Happens to Your Skin After Pregnancy?

Post-pregnancy, your skin might continue to experience hormonal fluctuations, potentially leading to persistent concerns like dryness or pigmentation. It’s essential to continue using gentle skincare products that support skin recovery and maintain its health.

What Are Skincare Products Unsafe During Pregnancy?

Certain skincare ingredients should be avoided during pregnancy due to potential risks to the baby. These include Retin-A, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, formaldehyde, aluminium chloride hexahydrate, and high concentrations of salicylic acid. It’s crucial to choose products free from these substances to ensure safety during this sensitive period. A safe alternative for retinol is Bakuchiol, which stimulates collagen similar to Retinol, but is plant-based and much gentler on skin.

Retin-A, Retinol, and Retinyl Palmitate

Retin-A, retinol, and retinyl palmitate, commonly found in acne and anti-ageing products, are not recommended during pregnancy due to their potential risk of congenital disabilities and complications. For anti-ageing without the risk, try our Astaxanthin Serum instead.

Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide, commonly found in acne treatments, is recommended to be avoided or used sparingly during pregnancy. While some experts suggest it may be safe in limited quantities, the limited research on its effects during this sensitive period warrants caution. It’s advisable to consult with your obstetrician or dermatologist before use to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby. For acne control during pregnancy, try Base Bakuchiol Serum.

Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde, present in some nail polishes and hair straightening products, should be avoided as it’s linked to developmental and fertility issues. Base strictly avoids formaldehyde in our products.

Salicylic Acid

While low concentrations of salicylic acid are generally considered safe, high concentrations as found in some peels and acne treatments and products should be avoided during pregnancy as the skin can potentially absorb it and may affect foetal development.
