Belly Oil
Belly Oil is a lightweight, herb-infused oil formulated to comfort and moisturize skin during pregnancy, including the belly, breasts, and hips. It combines organic borage oil with orange blossom essential oil, both traditionally used to support the appearance of skin's natural elasticity. The scent is intended to be delicate enough that it will not aggravate morning sickness.
The formula is made without parabens, artificial preservatives, or added fragrance. It is Leaping Bunny certified and Plastic Neutral, and it is rated ONE on the EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, the lowest hazard rating a product can achieve on that scale. The maker suggests massaging a generous amount wherever skin needs extra moisture, and pairing it with Belly Butter for additional hydration.
The oil can also be used as an all-over body moisturizer, including after shaving. Packaging may vary between orders.
