Can an ingredient checker replace asking my OB during pregnancy
Use the free tool — SkinSafeMom
What SkinSafeMom actually does
You paste the ingredient list from your face cream, serum or sunscreen. The tool checks it against what ACOG and the FDA say to avoid or ask about during pregnancy. It then shows safer options side by side, with price, ship time and sources, so you can compare.
It is free, and there's no login needed.
What it will not do
- It will not tell you to stop using your sunscreen or face cream right now.
- It is not medical advice.
- It does not replace asking your doctor or OB before deciding what's safe for you.
How it decides what's a concern
The tool checks your pasted ingredient list against what ACOG and the FDA list as ingredients to avoid or ask about in pregnancy. It shows this alongside safer options so you have a clearer comparison in front of you.
Where the safer-option suggestions come from
The comparison shows safer alternatives with their price, ship time and the sources behind them, so you can see where the information comes from. It's still worth double-checking current price and availability directly with the seller before you buy.
What's unknown
The tool's description doesn't say anything about saving or storing the ingredient lists you paste. Beyond "free, no login," we can't tell you more than that.
What to do next
Use the free tool to read your own ingredient list or numbers directly from your product. It will show you what ACOG and the FDA flag, so you can bring better, more specific questions to your doctor or OB — and always confirm any change with a professional before you act on it.
