As an expectant or new mom, your number one priority is keeping you and your baby safe and healthy. This can mean cutting out certain foods and drinks, activities and – yes – some beauty products too. But what about your lashes? Is it safe to use eyelash serum while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Most importantly: Consult your doctor
Your doctor should always be your authority when it comes to safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your doctor will know your medical history and will be able to advise which products you should and shouldn’t use during this time. If you want to use an eyelash serum during your pregnancy or while breastfeeding, make sure you check with your doctor first.
Read the label on your eyelash serum
The first thing to do is read the label of the eyelash serum and check the ingredients. Many eyelash serums contain the growth hormone prostaglandin. This chemical could make its way to your breastmilk and be transferred to your baby. For this reason, if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding, you should avoid using lash serums that contain these hormones.
Do your research
Look up the eyelash serum you want to use and check whether the manufacturer states it is safe for use during pregnancy. Eyelash serum brands will likely have this information on their website, for example, on their FAQ page. If you cannot find any information on their website, then you should check with your doctor before using the eyelashes serum while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Choose all-natural eyelash serums
The safest option is to choose an eyelash serum made from all-natural, plant-based ingredients that contains no harmful chemicals. It’s also best to use a hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested eyelash serum that is suitable for sensitive skin. For example, EVEDARE Eyelash Serum does not contain any parabens, growth hormones or harmful chemicals. It’s made from natural plant extracts that nourish and moisturize your lashes naturally. Remember, it’s important to consult your doctor before you use EVEDARE Eyelash Serum or any other all-natural lash serum.
