- Free from SLS
- A surfactant that makes soaps, shampoos and toothpastes lather richly.
- Lots of foam feels clean, though the foam itself does little of the cleaning. SLS is one of the surfactants most often reported to irritate skin, and some studies have linked SLS in toothpaste to mouth ulcers in people who get them often. Gums can also feel more tender than usual during pregnancy. So in the products that lather, we use other cleansers.
- Free from Sulfates
- A family of cleansing surfactants that includes SLES.
- They clean very well, and that includes lifting away natural oils that are better left in place. Skin and scalp can feel more reactive during pregnancy, and losing those oils can leave them feeling dry rather than fresh.
- Free from Parabens
- A preservative that keeps bacteria and mould from growing in a product.
- A water-based product needs a preservative, because without one bacteria and mould can grow in it. We chose others, such as 1,2-hexanediol and caprylhydroxamic acid, because many mothers prefer products without parabens during pregnancy, and we can offer that without giving up a working preservative.
- Free from Phthalates
- A plasticiser, sometimes carried into a formula through a fragrance blend.
- Phthalates are rarely listed by name, because they can sit inside a fragrance blend that appears on the label as one word, “fragrance”. We chose not to use them at all, so our ingredient list means what it says.
- Free from Drying alcohol
- Alcohol denat. and similar alcohols, which make a product dry quickly and feel light.
- It can draw moisture out of skin that already dries out more easily in pregnancy. Many women also find their sense of smell sharper in the first trimester, and the smell of alcohol is often named as a trigger for nausea. We mean only this kind of alcohol. Names like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which you may see in an ingredient list, are fatty alcohols that soften skin rather than dry it. Benzyl alcohol is used as a preservative. Neither is a drying alcohol.
- Free from Triclosan
- An antibacterial ingredient, once common in toothpaste and soap.
- Several countries have restricted its use, and it adds little to an everyday product. When we can leave something out without losing quality, we do.

Texture: clear gel, does not feel sticky on the face, rinses off easily. Effectiveness: after using it my face feels moisturised, not dry and rough. Suitable for pregnant mothers. Delivery was fast too.
Texture: gentle and safe, the sort you can feel confident about, made specially for mothers. Effectiveness: it works well, washing with it feels like you have not washed at all, very moisturising, not drying, not tight. I do find that it cannot take off waterproof sunscreen and make up, so it suits mothers who do not wear make up at all.
Texture: clear gel, slippery, does not cling to the face, rinses off easily. The face wash gel is good, no reaction for me, gentle, suits pregnant mothers. One tube lasts a long time, I have used about five tubes already.
Texture: the cleansing gel feels gentle and safe. After it arrived I was a little surprised that the packaging had changed, but it still works as well as before.
Clear liquid, the scent is not overdone. I cannot really feel the effect yet, but I am happy that there is no foam at all and no tight feeling after using it.
Bought together with other Mama's choice products... Now I feel safe with what I used during this time... Thank you seller! ?
Been eyeing on this. Waiting to try these out.. Got $10 dollar off from using TheAsianParent. That's why I'm finally getting these to try yay!
Like how it doesn’t leave my face feeling dry and tight after washing. Really affordable too and does a good job in cleansing.
