Top 3 clean lipsticks
There are few beauty products more powerful than lipstick to deliver that instant pick me up. Ah yes, there I am! If you’re cleaning up your beauty routine, lipstick should be at the top of your list, since it’s not only going on you, but trace amounts are likely sneaking in while you eat and drink as well. Finding the right non-toxic lipstick is difficult enough without considering the ingredients used to make it creamy, smudge-proof, bold, matte, subtle, glossy, long-lasting, "maybe she’s born with it", etc. The number of ingredients in a lipstick rivals the number of descriptors used to market them, so you’re welcome in advance for saving you a public meltdown trying to ensure toxins – like lead! – aren’t part of the equation. Here you’ll find our Top 3 Lipsticks that are non-toxic, pregnancy-safe and still deliver on all of the promises of your usual go-to brands. So, make like Elizabeth Taylor and “Pour yourself a drink (a mocktail of course). Put on some lipstick. And pull yourself together."

Why we love it:
The name alone says it all. Kari Gran Lip Whip is the luxurious color of lipstick and the nourishing effects of lip balm literally whipped together and popped in a gorgeous pot perfect for any mom-to-be's pregnancy-safe beauty bag. We think the “Rosie Gold” shade is the perfect combination of blush pink and a light gold shimmer that offers just enough color and shine for a naturally radiant look. This pregnancy-safe clean lipstick has a deliciously decadent silky-smooth consistency with a hint of refreshing peppermint and it is made with eco-luxe, paraben-free, naturally derived organic oils, beeswax and non-GMO ingredients, so mom can glow without any unneeded, harsh chemicals making it to the baby. We love it so much we’ve featured in our New Mom Spa Day Gift Box shown here.
Ilia Tinted Lip Conditioner
Why we love it:
Bring your lip whip or lipstick and all of your pregnancy-safe essentials with you on your Babymoon! We curated the Let’s Get Away Pregnancy Bundle with nontoxic self-care must-haves, and the most beautiful toiletry bag and “Just For You Mama” overnight bag (that doubles as a hospital bag).
You can’t peruse a clean beauty boutique without seeing Ilia’s wide range of lip, eye, and face makeup products front and center. But this natural beauty brand started out in 2011 selling just its Tinted Lip Conditioner, and although the company has added a number of other products for eye and face, they continue to focus on lip care. We love the Ilia Tinted Lip Conditioner for its sheer buildable color, soothing and conditioning formula, and protective SPF. We also love the regular Ilia pregnancy-safe clean lipstick that’s made with antioxidants and organic ingredients to moisturize lips and comes in a number of playful hues.
RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek
Why we love it:
Not only do we like the vibrant colors and hydrating coconut-oil-based consistency of the RMS Lip2Cheek, but all you moms-to-be, we must kindly inform you that your days of taking your time to meticulously apply makeup with special brushes and sponges are numbered. We think you’ll love this multitasking product that lets you quickly dab color on your lips, cheeks, and eyelids with your fingertips, which makes getting ready in the morning effortless (a necessity when you’re holding your baby with your other hand). Plus, you can throw this cute little pregnancy-safe lipstick in your clutch (or diaper bag) for quick touch-ups on the go.
