Are your products suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?Updated 2 months ago

All Skin Rocks products are a topically applied, facial cosmetic products that are safe to use during pregnancy/breastfeeding. 

Skin Rocks products are developed to fully comply with both the UK and EU Cosmetic Regulation and undergo a strict independent safety assessment before they can be sold to consumers. 

Retinoid use during pregnancy/breastfeeding.

Compared to prescription strength vitamin A products/medications, the risk associated with topical cosmetics including retinoids is assumed to be minimal. To that point, there is currently, nor has there ever been, no regulatory requirement in the UK, EU or USA to label cosmetics containing retinoids as 'not suitable when pregnant/breastfeeding'. However, if you are worried about using vitamin A/retinoids, please wait until after pregnancy. While the industry is confident that topical cosmetic retinoids are safe to use while pregnant, the general medical consensus is, if in doubt, avoid.
