Why we created both a Belly Oil and Body Crème…

We made the deliberate decision to create both an oil and a crème for our pregnancy range. Each product has unique properties and offers different benefits for your skin. Read on to discover which you should choose - or is the answer ‘both’?

Belly Oil

Oils are brilliant for those who prefer waterless products that are deeply nourishing and moisturising, and made from ingredients that have undergone minimal processing. Our ‘Bloom & Glow’ luminous belly oil is a beautiful blend of specialty oils rich in omega fatty acids, and skin-loving nutrients that are nourishing, regenerative, and promote skin elasticity and collagen production.

Even though it is super nourishing, our oil is also lovely and light, it is easily absorbed, so there is no greasy after feel. It is perfect to use in a wind down ritual - as you gently massage it into your belly you feel nurtured, and it is a wonderful way to feel an extra connection to your baby after a busy day.

Body Crème

We all know that water and oil don’t mix. Many beneficial ingredients, like plant extracts and emollients, are water-soluble and thus can’t be added to an oil-based formula. Our ‘Sumptuous Bump’ luscious body crème has the best of both worlds as it combines beautiful oils with both beneficial plant extracts, like centella asiatica and marshmallow root, and two innovative ingredients -'Marine moist' and 'Pentavitin’. These powerhouses, which are naturally derived, combine the best of science and nature to provide long lasting skin hydration, maintain the skin’s biome, soothe and cool, and promote healing. We have been a fan of Pentavitin for some time and have excitedly observed as this ingredient has started trending across skincare brands. With regular use, it has been shown to maintain increased skin hydration for up to 72 hours.

Applying this crème after your morning shower is a great way to start the morning (or night for those of us who are shift workers 😉), with a lovely fresh scent, you will be softening and hydrating your belly, and soothing that post shower itch before you head out for the day.

So which should I choose?

Both of these beautiful products possess beneficial properties for your blossoming body, so it really comes down to personal choice. However it does not have to be a case of 'either/or'. Whilst some people will prefer our oil, and some our crème, the greatest benefit comes from using both products.
