Women's multivitamin without biotin

Can you recommend a women's or prenatal vitamin that does not include biotin? Biotin makes me break out so I am trying to avoid it.

As an alternative, my OB-GYN was perfectly fine with me taking individual supplements in lieu of a multivitamin. E.g. a folic acid supplement, an iron supplement, etc. It's more pills but works just fine. She said most people do not really need a multivitamin unless you have specific nutritional needs, in which case taking whatever you need specifically works just as well.

Ritual multivitamins do not have Biotin (the prenatal version does, but the regular women's and the women's 50+ do not).

Nature Made Prenatal Multi + DHA, Liquid Softgels doesn't seem to have it. I loved these when I was pregnant! Easy to swallow.

My experience was similar to Epanalepsis's -- the prenatal vitamins my OB-GYN prescribed were expensive and not covered by insurance, so I just asked her what specific nutrients she wanted me to take, and purchased those supplements separately.
