This is another question we are commonly asked, so we thought it would be worthwhile to address it here on the blog.
The short answer is that there are no specific, known restrictions on using any Diana Stalder product during pregnancy. But it must be said that the effects of many of the ingredients have not been fully studied on pregnant women, so there’s no way to know with certainty the safety—there just aren’t enough data, good or bad.
Some of the milder products like the Glycerine Beauty Bar and Oatmeal Beauty Bar are well accepted as being safe for pregnant women, but most of the other products/ingredients just haven’t been studied in this regard. So we recommend that you make your own decision based on discussions with your doctor, or simply err on the side of caution and discontinue use until the happy day when your baby arrives.
Sorry we can’t give a more definitive answer. Also, keep in mind that it’s very common during pregnancy to experience acne, melasma, darkening and other changes to your skin; it’s often difficult to completely counter these effects during the pregnancy, but in most cases they can be easily addressed shortly after delivery.
As always, if you can’t find the answer to your questions in our FAQ (www.DianaStalder.info), feel free to drop us a note and we’ll be glad to help!
