Avobenzone in Pregnancy: Is It Safe?

Many pregnant women wonder if avobenzone is safe. While avobenzone is effective in protecting against UVA rays, it can be absorbed systemically and has been detected in urine, raising concerns about its potential impact on the fetus. Although there is no definitive evidence showing it poses risks to fetal development, some prefer to avoid it as a precaution.

Oxybenzone in Pregnancy: Is It Safe?

Pregnant women often question the safety of oxybenzone. This chemical sunscreen ingredient is absorbed into the body and can be detected in urine, sparking concerns about its effects during pregnancy. Oxybenzone can increase sun sensitivity because it may cause photoallergic reactions, making the skin more prone to sunburn and irritation. Additionally, it can exacerbate melasma, a common pregnancy skin condition, by triggering inflammation and pigment production in response to UV exposure.

Ingredients To Avoid in SPF when Pregnant

When choosing a sunscreen during pregnancy, avoid ingredients that can be absorbed into the body and found in urine. Oxybenzone and avobenzone, both chemical filters, may increase sun sensitivity and exacerbate melasma. Parabens, often used as preservatives, can disrupt hormones and should be avoided. Retinyl palmitate, an anti-aging ingredient, can increase the risk of birth defects. Phthalates may also pose risks. Benzophenones, including benzophenone-3 (BP-3), and octinoxate are chemical filters that can act as endocrine disruptors.
