Is elf makeup safe during pregnancy?

Question

I have a family function coming up and want to do light makeup. I use elf products mostly but now im double minded whether its ok in pregnancy. Anyone using it these days?

When I was staying at my parents' house during my pregnancy, my mother always told me to minimize makeup and stick to simple home-made face packs. But when I did use Elf products for family functions, I just made sure they were their basic, chemical-free ones.

I had some skin complications and rashes during my first trimester, so I became extremely cautious about every cosmetic. I highly recommend taking your makeup bottles or taking a screenshot of the ingredients and showing it to your gynac or dermatologist before using them.

Same here, most basic Elf products are totally fine. Just check the ingredients for salicylic acid or retinols, which are usually avoided.

Actually I'm planning to conceive soon and was looking at my makeup collection yesterday! I love Elf because they are vegan and cruelty-free, but I'm still trying to research which specific products are safe to keep using. Let me know if you find a safe list!

I can't say if it's medically safe for everyone, but I personally used Elf's hydrating primer and concealer during my pregnancy and had no issues. I just made sure to check the ingredients list to avoid anything with retinoids or parabens.
