Beauty tips during pregnancy?

Hi everyone!
So, I've been doing a ton of reading on what to do and what not to do while pregnant. I get the whole diet, nutrition, medications, and various other tips. There seems to be a grayer area on beauty products. Research shows stay clear of products with formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulfate, and aluminum in deodorants. Those are to name a few. Does anyone know safe beauty products? Particularly body wash and shampoo.
Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!

    I've been switching to more natural/green products for the last few years. Some brands I feel good about using are Acure (hair, skin, body), Shea Moisture (read labels... their baby sensitive line has more ingredients than many others), Deep Steep (hair, body), 100% Pure (skin, body, cosmetics). As for deodorant, my favorite more natural choice so far is Schmidt's... in a glass jar and pricey but it works well. For makeup, I have yet to find a good natural mascara or foundation that won't break the bank.

    Thank you for your input! I will look into these brands. Makeup is VERY challenging to find...especially foundation. Organic products are pricey-I agree!

    I would love suggestions on deodarant. I didn't know aluminum ones were out during pregnancy. I use the "Yes to" line for my hair and everyday minerals for my foundation. Just bought the simple brand face wash and face lotion and like it so far. Love to hear other suggestions!

    "Another big issue with deodorant (especially the kind that’s an antiperspirant too) is that the aluminum-based compounds that prevent you from becoming a sweaty mess are believed by some to be potentially cancer-causing. More research needs to be performed on the subject, but that’s pretty scary! The major problem with that? The aluminum really works to keep you from sweating!"..from The Bump

    I tried a sample of aluminum-free deodorant and I have to say...it did nothing!
