Overhauling med cabinet - need advice!

Hi ladies,
while applying my powder bronzer this morning, I decided to check the ingredients and noticed it contains a type of retinoid (yikes!!). So, I immediately brushed it off. (PS - can anyone recommend a bronzer or blush that is safe?)

I don't use that many products at all, I'm pretty low maintenance, but it got me thinking about everything else. Anyone have any tips for what they use and/or avoid or how they changed their beauty routine? I've been doing research on line, but as usual, you get so many different answers.

So far, the following seem to be safe according to my research:
Cetaphil face cleanser and moisturizer
Aveeno positvely radiant tinted moisturizer
My clinique powder compact
Head & Shoulders 2in 1, OB nurse said it's ok and I don't wash my hair every day anyway

Questionable . . . .
Tom's anti-cavity toothpaste with fluoride - what's the deal with fluoride? I'm going to ask my dentist, but wondered if anyone knew.

Deodorant - I'm going to Whole Foods at lunch today to get some Tom's

Bad/discontinued use:
My bronzer with retinyl

TIA!!

I did not go that crazy, and I was pretty strict with things. I don't wear make up on a regular basis, I use cetaphil, and I kept using the same shampoo and conditioner I've always used. I use Colgate toothpaste, same old deodorant as always, etc.

I get a lot of my makeup from Birchbox nowadays since being gifted a subscription, and most of their products are very natural and free of all the crap that is bad.

I figure I know so many women who dyed their hair during pregnancy, my regular shampoo & conditioner are fine.
