Throughout both of my pregnancies, I got asked the same question over and over again: which PP product is your favorite to use while pregnant? And since I don’t have just one, writing a post on my top products to use while pregnant seemed fitting.
Another question that we as a company get asked often is, “Is [insert Primally Pure product here] safe to use while pregnant?”
Here’s our answer: while there are certainly concerns surrounding the exaggerated use of certain essential oils during pregnancy and breastfeeding, we believe the essential oils used in our products and the dilution rates at which these essential oils are combined with their corresponding carrier oils make all of our products safe choices to use on your skin throughout pregnancy (with the exception of our Fancy Face Serum for which we offer a pregnancy safe version).
But if you’re unsure or iffy about an ingredient for any reason, it’s always a good idea to consult with your health practitioner before use.
Here are some of my favorite pregnancy skincare products!
BABY BALM
My absolute favorite product that I swear by during pregnancy and beyond is our Baby Balm. It’s incredibly effective at preventing stretch marks on growing bellies, and has kept my belly stretch mark free throughout both pregnancies (eating plenty of healthy fats and drinking bone broth or taking collagen peptides also plays a huge role in this). Baby Balm contains Emu Oil and Marshmallow Root which deeply moisturize and lubricate the skin – it also makes an amazing, deeply nourishing eye cream!
