Hi, any recommendations for skin care that is breastfeeding safe? Organic, natural.

I’ve just used my usual skincare all through pregnancy and breastfeeding (I’m still breastfeeding my 2.5 year old). I think the only thing you maybe shouldn’t use is retinol which I don’t use anyway

LBB2020 There are loads of chemicals it's advisable to avoid I'm surprised more women don't educate themselves on it.

I liked face theory.

I did read up and everything I read said there is no evidence and it’s unlikely skincare will be absorbed in breast milk. I’ve never used retinols/vitamin A but all my usual skincare has been fine

@Isthisexpected what did you use? Some products say do not use if breastfeeding.
