FAQ: Safe Pregnancy Skin Care - What Ingredients are Safest?
There are many considerations one should take into account for pregnancy skin care products. Specifically ingredients that one should avoid if they are concerned about safe pregnancy skin care. Expectant moms enjoy feeling pampered and this is important when reviewing pregnancy skin care, but your developing baby also needs to be protected. Some skin care products may contain ingredients that can potentially cause birth defects or fetal abnormalities.
Have both pampering and protection with Belli Pregnancy skin care. Expectant mothers can experience total pampering for your body and mind with Belli Pregnancy skin care. Indulge and soothe your skin with our luxurious formulations, created specifically for pregnant mothers. Ease your mind with the knowledge that Belli supports safe pregnancies, guarding against ingredients linked to birth defects... Women who care about safe pregnancy skin care always choose Belli for their higher safety standards.
Belli is the leader in researching safe pregnancy skin care products for expectant or nursing mothers, their babies and those considering pregnancy. Belli is the only company in the world to perform teratology screening of our ingredients to help guard against birth defects. Our higher safety standards make Belli the #1 recommended brand by OB/GYNs. 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.
Many women will experience dry, itchy skin during their pregnancies (xerosis). Typical dryness and itching can be minimized by exfoliation and daily use of a gentle, hydrating cleanser such as Pampered Pregnancy Body Wash. All Day Moisture Body Lotion deeply moisturizes, comforts and soothes dry, itchy skin. The lotion features the essential oil of lemon, which is known for its uplifting qualities and aroma-therapeutic ability to calm upset stomachs. Chamomile softens and refreshes.
During pregnancy your uterus will grow rapidly, stretching the skin over the abdomen and tearing the connective tissues in the dermis, possibly resulting in stretchmarks (striae gravidarum). Many dermatologists recommend moisturizing and massaging the abdomen to prevent stretchmarks. The only published research article focused on stretchmark prevention showed that a combination of Gotu Kola extract, Vitamin E, and Collagen Hydrolysates decreased the risk of getting stretchmarks by about 39%. All of these ingredients can be found in Belli Elasticity Belly Oil.

So no matter which Belli products you use, you can have peace of mind erring on the side of caution.
