The most important thing about pregnancy shampoo is of course safety, both the ingredients are safe
Nowadays, there are skin care products on the market under the banner of “for pregnant women”. I don’t know when it started. This group has the word "dedicated". I don't deny that some brands are indeed specialized in making products in this area, but most of them are just gimmicks for merchants!
Some pregnancy-specific shampoos are claimed to be safe and contain no irritating ingredients, but they are not as safe as ordinary shampoos. For example, we often hear that Anshi, a relatively well-known pregnancy and baby brand, should not add The irritating ingredients are still added.
I bought this shampoo after I was pregnant. I saw that pregnant mothers were using it, so I didn’t check the ingredients. After using it for a while, I found that my scalp was always itchy, so I checked the ingredients. Unexpectedly, The safety content is only 2 points, and five kinds of preservatives are added. I couldn’t believe the results.
Due to the influence of hormones during pregnancy, the scalp of pregnant mothers will be more fragile and prone to allergies to many products, so be careful when choosing shampoo.
After careful investigation, there are three main risk ingredients that you need to pay attention to in shampoo:
1. Methylparaben preservative
English name Paraben, also known as paraben, paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl paraben, butyl paraben, etc...
Shampoos containing such preservatives:
2. Mineral oil
It can easily cause hair loss, hair loss, scalp itching, and clog hair and skin pores.
Shampoos containing this type of mineral oil:
3. Fragrance
Pregnant mothers and children with sensitive skin during the barrier-impaired period should avoid using fragrance ingredients as much as possible. At the same time, fragrance-based toiletries may cause pregnancy reactions (morning sickness). It is also not friendly to strong pregnant mothers.
Shampoos containing fragrance
Although there are no specific ingredients that are teratogenic to the baby, the risk still exists, and during pregnancy, pregnant women are affected by hormones and their skin is fragile and sensitive. , the safe ingredients can minimize the occurrence of allergies.
Below I will share my personal shampoo during pregnancy. Pregnant mothers can use it as a reference according to their actual situation.
German Nenfu
Nenfu is a high-end product from Germany. A professional brand for pregnant women, created by the German Nenfu R&D Center specifically for pregnant women. All products are based on the core brand concept of "professional, safe and effective".

Nenfu Shampoo
It focuses on mild cleansing and oil control, and adds amino acid surfactants. The amino acid ingredients can create a gentle growth environment for the scalp. It contains piroctone ethanolamine salt with anti-dandruff function (will not irritate the scalp), folic acid, white fungus and other pure plant ingredients. It has a very good effect on moisturizing, nourishing, repairing and improving damaged hair like mine. My hair is not dry at all after washing it. It is very smooth and I feel like I don’t need conditioner. The frizziness is also much better.
After I became pregnant, I had to spend a lot of effort bending down every time I washed my hair. I'm a little irritable, can't stand, can't bend. After using this shampoo, washing it once every three or four days is enough. It has good oil control effect. When my best friend asked me to go shopping, my hair would be greasy every time. I have to wear a hat every time, and now I go out directly. The first time my best friend saw me, she asked me why I was washing my hair this time.
The bubbles of this shampoo are very dense, like marshmallows. Amino acid surfactants are added to it, making the hair very soft and not dry after washing.
Belli
Belli was founded by a couple. When expecting the arrival of their first child, Annette faced a difficult decision. The Rubins knew very well about skin care during pregnancy. Regarding the importance of product safety, when looking forward to the arrival of their first child, they decided to personally develop products that meet higher safety standards during pregnancy and create a pregnancy skin care brand with relatively higher safety standards.
Belli Shampoo
It contains SLS/SLES surfactant and citric acid. Although it has a cleaning effect, it is not recommended for sensitive skin.
Pregnant mothers with healthy scalps can consider it.
As a pregnant mother who often stays up late to watch TV dramas, her hair always falls out in handfuls, causing brittle hair and severe split ends. My best friend recommended it to me. The shampoo is pressed out. , has a yellow and transparent texture and is easy to work into foam. It contains amino acids, pomegranate peel oil and camellia extract. It is very effective in preventing hair loss. After using it for a period of time, the problem of hair loss has been significantly improved. But the only regret is that it has an orange scent. I stopped using it because of severe morning sickness during that time
Shiseido
A famous Japanese cosmetics brand, the brand adheres to the "Century of Ingenuity, Let Beauty" The concept of "Zi Sheng" combines Eastern aesthetics and consciousness with Western technology and business practices, combines advanced technology with traditional concepts, and uses Western culture to interpret the implicit Eastern culture.
Shiseido Sensitive Topic Shampoo
This shampoo is formulated for sensitive scalps. It contains soapberry extract to deeply cleanse the scalp and repair dry and dry hair.
Sisters with bangs should understand that bangs are easy to get oily and stick to the scalp if not washed for a day, which is super ugly. After using this shampoo, I basically wash it once every three days and my bangs no longer look greasy. Just like before, it has been applied to oily skin. It bubbles up quickly and the bubbles are very soft and comfortable. When I wash it, I will massage it on the oil-prone areas for a while.
Of the three, I still like the first one the most, the unscented type. I suffered from severe morning sickness during pregnancy, and during that time, Nenfu shampoo was my "favorite"
Pregnancy Mothers can choose according to their actual situation, the most important thing is the right one!
