recommend a prenancy-safe serum?

Hi, ladies,

It's been a while, but hi! Hope you're all happy and well.

Quick question for you: I recently bought a vitamin C serum that was listed as all-natural, all-organic, etc., etc., etc. Then, I discovered it had willow bark extract, which is a salicylic (and thus not safe for pregnancy), so after all that amazon research, I had to return it. Sheesh, is anything safe for pregnancy these days? What serum are you using these days that you love that's safe for pregnancy/nursing use?

Thanks so much! :-)

Yeah my mid wife said using most fave lotions even with retanol was fine with pregnant unless you slathering it on your whole body daily it wouldn't be a problem. I do agree straight coconut oil is very nice for a face cleanser/lotion

Thanks for your input-- I never thought of using coconut oil for anything other than cooking. Will have to look into this! :-)
