Answer

Using Skincare During Pregnancy

Based on the information provided, both Squalane (Olive) and Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum can generally be used as usual during pregnancy.

  • Squalane (Olive) is a high-quality emollient derived from olives. It is very similar to the natural squalane found in our skin's sebum, helping to moisturize and keep the skin supple. It's well-tolerated and good for keeping skin hydrated.
  • Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum contains L-Ascorbic Acid, a potent form of Vitamin C known for its whitening, antioxidant, and collagen-stimulating properties. This stabilized form is effective and suitable for cosmetic use.

However, it is recommended to avoid certain ingredients during pregnancy. According to the advice, you should avoid:

  • All types of Essential Oils.
  • Preservatives from the paraben group, such as Para-Preserve (eq. Phenonip P4).

Always consult with your doctor or healthcare provider regarding specific product usage during pregnancy.
