Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Most of the ingredients you’ve listed are generally considered safe for use during pregnancy. These include hydrating and moisturizing ingredients like glycerin, sunflower seed oil, sweet almond oil, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid, among others. Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is also usually safe for topical use during pregnancy and can help with skin issues such as acne, rosacea, and pigmentation.
However, it’s important to note that everyone’s skin can react differently to skincare ingredients, and this can be particularly true during pregnancy when hormonal changes may alter your skin’s sensitivity. While most of these ingredients are considered safe, I recommend patch testing any new product on a small area of skin before full application, to ensure no adverse reaction occurs.
As always, if you notice any skin irritation or other adverse reactions, discontinue use immediately and consult with your healthcare provider. Please keep in mind that this advice is intended to be general in nature, and specific cases may vary.
Thanks
