Do Not Assume

What pregnancy-safe does not mean for Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol being usable for many non-pregnant routines does not automatically make it pregnancy-safe in every setup.

Marketing language, clean-beauty framing, or a low-drama texture are not substitutes for pregnancy-specific caution.

What to do next if you want a more conservative routine
