Bio oil

Hi all,

I have been using bio oil since 6 weeks because according to their website it’s pregnancy safe. But I recently found out that it is not safe for pregnancy due to the vitamin A/Retinyl Palmitate. Any thoughts? Has anyone used this product though out their pregnancy? I just want to get some opinions since there is a lot of conflicting information.

    Most things that are probably safe for pregnant women don’t get an explicit clearance from the FDA because it would be wildly unethical to experiment on pregnant women. The questionable parts of bio oil are Class C not because there is a known issue but because it’s unknown. 

    For me, the European equivalent of the FDA says it’s fine and the amounts of vitamin A and Rosemary oil are not concerning. I used it in my last pregnancy with no issues and I’m using it again this time around. But if you’re worried coconut oil is an option! 🤷🏼‍♀️
