FAQ: What research and testing does Belli conduct?
In addition to teratology-screening, products are sent to an independent laboratory for skin irritation testing, followed by a nine-week extensive trial of repeat insult patch testing to establish hypoallergenicity. Our Motherhood range is also LACTMED screened and we exclude any ingredients known to be harmful to nursing babies through the breast milk. So at Belli we make sure our products are not only safe for your baby but also for YOU!
Belli uses many natural, organically grown ingredients, but the “organic” label alone does not mean that an ingredient is safe during pregnancy. Even some organic skin care ingredients during pregnancy have links to birth defects in published medical studies—including aloe vera, rosemary, salicylic acid, caffeine, and glycolic acid.
Teratology screening helps ensure you are using the safest known ingredients during pregnancy, from any source. It eliminates ingredients with links to birth defects in published medical studies, and replaces them with safer choices instead. Belli has lead the industry with this higher prenatal safety standard since 2002. When the research shows that a natural ingredient is the safest choice, we do prefer to purchase from organic farmers to avoid possible contamination with pesticides.
Every Belli product is allergy tested, free of synthetic dyes and paraben preservatives. Belli products feature natural organic ingredients whenever possible. We do not perform any testing on animals.
At Belli, we support provide soothing, balanced skin products that pamper and protect. Our collections - Belli Pregnancy, Belli Motherhood and Belli Baby – address the specific needs of each stage, with thoughtful attention to the safest formulations.
Belli Motherhood is LactMed screened to avoid ingredients linked to harmful effects during breastfeeding. Belli Baby is screened for xenoestrogens—chemicals which can act like hormones that interfere with normal development of the reproductive system. So no matter which Belli products you use, you can have peace of mind erring on the side of caution.
At Belli, our love of pregnancy and motherhood guides everything we do. Our goal is to support and encourage new mothers, inspiring self-confidence and greater safety in both pregnancy and parenting.
