Skin Care During Pregnancy and for New Moms

Pregnancy and the months after having a baby often come with a lot of small decisions, including a closer look at what's in the products you use. Here's a bit about how we think about ingredients, and why many moms and moms-to-be choose our products.

Sensitive Skin and Hair Care Formulated Without Common Irritants

Our entire skin and hair care line is formulated without common skin irritants such as fragrance, masking fragrance, lanolin, parabens, and formaldehyde releasers.

How We Select and Test Our Ingredients

Many expecting moms pay closer attention to what they put on their skin during pregnancy, and so do we. That's why we go to great lengths to select ingredients that are mild, gentle, effective, and suitable for our customers.

We encourage you to read our labels closely. When we say "fragrance-free," we mean no fragrance is used in the formula. We don't mask our products' natural smell with botanicals or other ingredients that could be irritating.

All ingredients are thoroughly investigated before use in our formulations. Databases of safety information such as the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR), Personal Care Products Council (PCPC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and others are researched. We also consult regularly with highly qualified physicians regarding the use and safety of ingredients.

Gentle Skin and Breast Care During Pregnancy and Nursing

Because our skin care products are formulated without harsh chemicals, they can be a good fit for skin and breast care during pregnancy and while nursing.

Vanicream™ Gentle Body Wash is a fragrance-free, non-soap cleanser that helps remove dirt and oils without drying the skin. It is also formulated without cocamidopropyl betaine and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which have been known to cause skin irritation. Vanicream™ Moisturizing Cream is mild and gentle and soothes dry, cracked skin.

Gentle Skin Care for Baby

Vanicream™ Moisturizing Cream for Baby and Vanicream™ Foaming Wash for Baby are formulated to be suitable for baby and toddler skin.

National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance

Vanicream™ Moisturizing Cream, Vanicream™ Moisturizing Lotion, Vanicream™ Cleansing Bar, Vanicream™ Gentle Facial Cleanser, and Vanicream™ Gentle Body Wash have been awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance.

Tested to Be Gluten-Free

All of our products have been tested to be gluten-free.

Dermatologist-Tested Formulas

Our skin and hair care products are dermatologist tested. You can find where to buy Vanicream™ products on our Where to Buy page.

We know we probably can't help every person with problematic skin, but many of our products have been helpful to those with even the most delicate, sensitive skin. We know how important your children are, and if you have doubts about what skin care products to use, always ask your pediatrician.
