Retinyl palmitate in my moisturiser

Does anyone know if I can still use this? I've emailed the company and they haven't replied. I also know bio oil contains this ingredient and suggests to use in the second trimester but I know people who have used bio oil in the first trimester.

Your post made me look at my moisturiser and mine contains it too!

Furiously googling on the subject... looks like it should be ok as long as we don't eat it?

I don't meet my MW for another 2 weeks, but perhaps you could ask yours?

Are the newspapers full of stories of problems caused in pregnancy by rogue moisturiser? Does it carry a pregnancy warning on it? Does the NHS tell you not to use it?
