    Any toiletries or beauty products to avoid during pregnancy?

    I've been wondering today - are there any chemicals in toiletries or beauty products that you should avoid during pregnancy? I know about avoiding foods and cleaning products but haven't really heard anything about store bought toiletries, etc.

    I know I had an acne cream when I was a teenager that said it could cause birth defects. And i heard recently there is something in some nail polishes that 'they' recommend to avoid.

    I'm curious if there is anything I should be checking for in things like deodorant, face wash, moisturizer, and things like that?
