Q: When can I start using this pregnancy belly oil?
A: As soon as you find out you are expecting! The earlier the better, to prep your skin with ample nutrients and collagen so that your skin’s elasticity is at tip-top condition to stretch without the stretch marks! Fun fact: Stretched marks are actually scars under the skin as the elastic fibers of the skin are unable to accommodate the stretch without enough elasticity and collagen.
Q: Is this pregnancy oil only for my belly?
A: Nope! You are encouraged to apply it onto your belly, hips, buttocks, thighs and growing breast to prevent stretch marks from forming in these areas.
Q: How frequent should I apply the oil?
A: At least twice daily in the circular motion until absorbed. Right after shower when your skin is still damp as absorption rate it's at its peak. And before bedtime as a lot of growing and repairing happens while you sleep. You can opt to apply it more frequently if your skin is itchy. Fun fact: Itching belly skin means that your skin is stretching and adapting to the growth happening inside of you.
Q: Why is this oil scentless? I prefer something fragrant.
A: We intentionally formulated this oil to be scentless for 2 reasons – to not aggravate your heighten sensitivity to smells and morning sickness & to not put in any scent or fragrance (whether natural or artificial) that may harm your unborn child.
Q: Why do you recommend an oil and not a cream/lotion/butter?
A: Our premium cold-pressed organic oils have far more potency and effectiveness compared to a cream/lotion/butter. An oil also ensures purity unlike other forms that require stabilizing ingredients (whether natural or artificial) to create.

A: Not at all. Our formulations are created by a Holistic Health Practitioner who focuses on creating safe, natural and cruelty-free concoctions.
