Is Dior Safe During Pregnancy? #

Dior is a luxury house best known for makeup and fragrance, with a smaller but influential skincare line like Capture Totale. In our database, many Dior color cosmetics and lip products fall in the low-risk band for pregnancy.

The main watchout is retinol-driven anti-aging treatments and any strong, treatment-style formulas. If you are unsure about a specific bottle, scan it in MamaSkin to see the ingredient flags and current risk band.
