Hair powder

Hi mummies! I have a bald spot that I always cover up with brown hair powder! The brand I use is Jenny house Korea. Has anyone also used it during pregnancy? Is it safe to use? I’m currently 8 weeks 5 days. Only occurred to me this morning that the powder might not be suitable for use during pregnancy and now I’m concerned it will bring harm to my fetus or cause defects during development. Thanks!

Hey mama, congrats on 8 weeks and don't worry too much, from what I've generally heard, Jenny House positions itself as a natural derma cosmetic brand using green-grade ingredients, which does sound more reassuring than some heavy chemical-based products. That said, the general consensus even for topical stuff during pregnancy is that studies are still quite limited, so it's hard to say with full confidence that any cosmetic is completely without risk, even ones marketed as natural. A friend of mine actually flagged this same kind of thing during her pregnancy, she felt better once she just ran the ingredient list past her gynae to get a proper sign-off. My honest take is it's probably low-risk given it's a powder applied to the scalp rather than something ingested, but the peace of mind from checking with your own doctor is really worth it, especially in the first trimester when development is so critical.
