Collection: Skincare during Pregnancy

Is the use of ENVIRON Vitamin A products safe during pregnancy?

Environ products containing Vitamin A is safe during both pregnancy and lactation. Once Vitamin A is absorbed into the skin it is trapped, because humans do not have the enzyme systems to transfer Vitamin A from the skin into the blood stream. Virtually no Vitamin A gets from the skin into the blood stream.

Although ENVIRON believes that use is safe both during pregnancy and during lactation, we do not recommend some vitamin A products during this particular period, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy.

It is recommended to reduce the amount of topical vitamin A during pregnancy by 1 to 2 levels, as the skin may react more sensitively during this time.

If you feel uncomfortable with vitamin A products in the first trimester, drop off the products and start again at the low level after the first trimester.
