Everyday body lotions are mostly water, so stretching pregnancy skin can feel dry again within hours, and many carry synthetic fragrance or petroleum. Pregnant Belly Salve is a water-free balm of organic oils, butters and herbs, so a small scoop gives rich moisture from ingredients a mother can read and recognise.

Is it safe to use during pregnancy?

It is made for pregnancy with certified organic herbs and no parabens or phthalates; anyone with health concerns should ask a doctor.

Does it prevent stretch marks?

No balm can promise that, as stretch marks depend largely on genetics; it keeps stretching skin moisturised, soft and more comfortable.

When should I start using it?

It can be used as soon as the bump starts to grow and the skin begins to feel dry or tight.

How often should I apply it?

As often as the skin needs it; applying after a warm shower, while skin is slightly damp, helps the balm spread easily.

Is it greasy, and will it mark my clothes?

It is a rich balm that absorbs quickly; letting it sink in for a few minutes before dressing keeps clothes clean.

What does it smell like?

A light, natural lavender and chamomile scent comes from the infused herbs, with no artificial fragrance added to the balm.

Can I use it on my breasts while breastfeeding?

It is made for the breasts during pregnancy; for nursing nipples, the Motherlove Organic Nipple Cream on Waha is the right choice.

Will it melt in hot weather?

As a beeswax balm it can soften in high heat; storing it in a cool, shaded place keeps its firm texture.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Its short organic ingredient list has no artificial fragrance; as it contains lavender and beeswax, a small patch test first is wise.

Is it vegan?

No. It contains organic beeswax, which gives the balm its firm texture, and it is certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny.
