Just wondered really if it’s safe, i’ve used it almost everyday on my face (for spots) applying 2-3 times during the day and before bed since I became pregnant. I just assumed it was okay because I know it’s baby bum cream! Just wondered as I can’t see anything online whether it is safe or not? I bloody hope so with the amount i’ve used it!

Any advice much appreciated!

Thanks
