Can You Get Tox While Breastfeeding? Let’s Discuss!

Written by Jamie- Sweet Tox’s newest mama on the team!

As a new mom, you’re likely learning the ropes of breastfeeding and navigating a sea of advice, recommendations, and questions from well-meaning family and friends. I know I am!

Being in the line of work that I’m in, one question that pops up often is: “Can I get tox while breastfeeding?”

The short and sweet answer? No, we don’t recommend it. While the chances of tox passing into breast milk are super low (since the protein molecule is too big to be absorbed into the bloodstream and transferred), there’s just not enough research to give it the green light. At Sweet Tox, your health and safety always come first! That’s why we ask our lovely mamas to wait until they’ve finished breastfeeding before booking their next tox session. 💖

But don’t worry – there are still safe and effective alternatives to tox that can help you look and feel your best while you are breastfeeding ✨

Here are my two favorite new-mama-approved ways to keep your skin radiant while you wait:

Sweet Tox Medical-Grade Skincare: Because good skin starts at home! Here are my ride-or-die picks:

Ultra Benefits Moisturizer – The holy grail of hydration! This powerhouse firms, brightens, and protects against free radicals (aka the sneaky little things that cause premature aging). A must-have, especially in the dry winter months!

Protect & Perfect Tinted SPF 50 – A multitasking dream! This BB cream + SPF protects your skin while giving you a hint of tint to blur imperfections—because, let’s be real, some days, foundation just isn’t happening.

Heavenly Hand Cream – My hands-down (pun intended 😜) favorite hand cream! As a new mama, I’m constantly washing my hands, and this keeps them soft, hydrated, and protected from all the harsh soaps and sanitizers.

Facials = The Ultimate Self-Care Treat: Because you deserve you time!
Indulge in our Custom Facial—my personal fave because I can’t get enough of the extractions and massage🧖‍♀️

Still unsure? If you’re ever in doubt about what’s safe while breastfeeding, check in with your doctor! They can give you the best advice based on your health and little one.

Remember, mama—you deserve to feel just as beautiful as you are! And when the time is right, we’ll be here, ready to get you back to your tox glow. Until then, we got you covered! 💖✨
