Pregnancy

Congratulations! Pregnancy is one of the most exciting changes in a woman’s life, but the long-awaited ‘pregnancy glow’ isn’t guaranteed. Troublesome skin issues, like hyperpigmentation, inflammation, and acne may be unavoidable. A proper skincare during pregnancy can make you feel more comfortable in your own skin by alleviating common pregnancy skin issues and can help manage peri-pregnancy skin. All of these products use ingredients that are safe for topical use during pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding so you can address all of your skincare concerns.

Pregnancy Safe Skincare Collection

Consider our premium selection of nursing and pregnancy-safe skincare products to safely manage your usual and unique skin conditions during pregnancy. Expecting mothers undergo constant internal changes, often resulting in concerns such as

  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Inflammation
  • Rosacea
  • Acne
  • Stretch Marks
  • Skin tags
  • Itchy rashes (PUPPP)

Increased hormone levels during pregnancy make the skin secrete excessive oil, causing hyperpigmentation and unpleasant, itchy rashes known as pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP). Suppressed immunity in the pregnant woman and dilated blood vessels cause surface inflammation. Health care professionals recommend using gentle products to avoid irritation and prevent your skin from absorbing ingredients that can potentially harm your growing fetus.

You can't stop your skin from absorbing skincare products, but you can ensure the products you use are safe for you and your baby. Our pregnancy-safe skincare collection allows expecting mothers to safely maintain their regular skincare routine and combat newly developing concerns. Our collection features gentle products to

  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 
  • Maintain collagen production
  • Brighten the skin 
  • Reduce hyperpigmentation
  • Boost the immune system 
  • Protect against environmental free radicals 
  • Improve the skin's hydration
  • Stretch the skin as the pregnancy grows, reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

Pregnant women are prone to developing melasma—a darkening of the skin due to hormonal changes. If you are looking for products to shield the skin and minimize the risk of melasma, we have the perfect solution for you- the ultimate UV defense sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection. Niacinamide, an anti-inflammatory agent, and Azelaic acid are active ingredients that improve the appearance of rosacea. Antioxidants protect the skin from free radical damage and improve its texture and pigmentation, enhancing its overall appearance. Give your skin strengthened protection with our vitamin C products. We offer masks and hyaluronic acid products that can consistently lock in skin moisture, keeping the skin healthy and hydrated.
