What moisturizer is safe to use?

DH is being a nut about chemicals in things... lol... can't say that I blame him, BUT I want to use my moisturizer because my arms and legs are always so dry.

What do you use that's safe?

I have switched to Aveeno for face wash and moisturizer

I've been using all of my regular moisturizers. I really don't think there is anything in them to worry about. I was even using Jergen's self tanning lotion up until my legs got tan and my doctor said it was fine.

The only thing that I do know that is NOT safe chemical wise is Retinol-A...Vitamin A in the creams/washes...

I had gone to a dermatologist a while ago because I had something going on with my face, and he prescribed me Retin-A cream, but asked "Are you pregnant? Are you planning to get pregnant?"

He said if I decided to start trying I'd have to come off it.

I've been using my normal everyday stuff. The only thing I asked my dr about was sunscreen and he said using it was a MUST!

Any moisturizer without Retinol / Vitamin A is good to use. It's not like it gets majorly absorbed into your bloodstream and crosses through the placenta; it just sits on your face.
