Organic olive oil infused with organic herbs, organic jojoba oil, unrefined shea butter, organic rosehip seed oil, sea buckthorn berry oil, and vitamin E all have moisturizing and skin regenerating properties which bring relief to burgeoning bellies. A bare minimum of essential oils that are safe during pregnancy are added for their skin healing properties and to add a light, pleasing fragrance. These plant oils are safe to use during pregnancy and have a soothing, relaxing effect on the wearer.
Stretch marks during pregnancy are caused by small tears in the supporting layers of skin once your belly is stretched to its limit. Genetics can play a part in the occurrence of stretch marks as well as skin color (fair skinned women seem to have a higher incidence of stretch marks) and amount of weight gained and lost. However, if you keep yourself hydrated inside and out, you can lessen your chance of developing stretch marks. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and use Devorah Naturals' Beautiful Belly Balm several times a day. It will also help with the itching that accompanies your growing belly. Beautiful Belly Balm is also good for breasts, buttocks, thighs and any other place your skin feels dry and itchy.
Note: This is not vegan due to the beeswax. A vegan version is available upon request.
