Parabens

When they say to avoid lotions with parabens does that mean any ingredient including the word paraben.... For ex) methyl paraben and propylparaben?

Has anyone found a good pregnancy safe lotion?

Parabens are a class of chemicals widely used as preservatives by cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. They can be found in a lot of products such as shampoo, moisturizers, shaving gels, personal lubricants, topical pharmaceuticals, spray tanning lotions, makeup, toothpaste and some food additives. There are 5 major parabens:Ethyl, Butyl, Methyl, Propyl, and Parahydroxybenzoate.

Parabens have been linked to breast cancer and mimic estrogen. 

You'll have to google for a full list of products and such but this might help you get started
