Belli Takes the Worry out of Pregnancy Skincare

The last thing any expectant mother wants to worry about is her skin. As a mom-to-be, pregnancy should be a time for excitement, not a time for agonizing about the challenges of a changing body. Luckily, Belli has taken the worry out of pregnancy skincare by creating a complete line of products that are specially formulated to address your needs as an expectant mom, especially the need to know that you are making the healthiest choices for your baby.

Proven Protection Against Stretch marks

During the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy, your uterus will grow rapidly, stretching the skin over your abdomen. This rapid growth may tear your skin's inner connective tissues, resulting in stretch marks on your belly. Normal pregnancy growth may also increase fat deposits in your breasts, hips, thighs, and buttocks, and may result in scarring of those areas.

Affecting 90 percent of all women, stretch marks may seem like an unavoidable part of motherhood, but luckily there are things you can you can do to minimize your risk. Published research on stretch mark prevention shows that a combination of Gotu Kola extract, Vitamin E, and Collagen Hydrolysates decreases the risk of acquiring stretch marks by about 39 percent and decreases the severity of any stretch marks that do form. All of these ingredients can be found in Belli Pregnancy's Elasticity Belly Oil, along with the relaxing aromas of lavender and almond oil.

Pampering for Mom, Protection for Baby

While many topical ingredients are thought to be safe during pregnancy, a large number are linked to harmful effects that occur after repeated or high exposures. Some examples include Vitamin A, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, certain sunscreens, and even aloe vera. While your skin blocks many skin care ingredients from entering your body, small amounts of some ingredients are still absorbed into your bloodstream. Once there, they can cross the placenta and reach your growing baby.

This is why Belli screens each ingredient to exclude chemicals that have been linked to birth defects and pregnancy-related problems. As the only line in the world to do so, Belli also allergy tests all of its products and ensures they are free of synthetic dyes, phthalates, and paraben preservatives.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Wife and I are Very Impressed So Far!, May 21, 2009

(What's this?)

We received our bottle of Belli when my wife was just entering her eighth month of pregnancy. We started using it on her tummy right away. It was actually a nice little bonding thing between the two of us, so fellas, buy this for your pregnant wife! :^)

The frangrance we got was lavender - I'm actually curious to see if there are other fragrances out there for this product, but lavender is my wife's favorite (and mine, too, actually) because it's relaxing and we both think that there is something to this aromatherapy thing. Lavender soothes headaches, and it's just a pleasant fragrance.

We tend to use several sprays from the bottle, and then go back for more as we go along; the oil is rich and while it IS oil, it doesn't feel as "oily" as other body creams we've tried in the past. This richness and the fragrance combined definitely build a nice, relaxing, intimate atmosphere.

So, that said, our son is now coming up on six weeks of age, and my wife still uses the BELLI oil, on a daily basis, to my knowledge. So far, the only mark that can be seen is the incision for the C-Section she had to have, and honestly, I think even the incision scar is not as bad as I thought it was going to be at this point. No stretch marks to date is wonderful, and if her c-section scar is minimized by the treatments of this oil, then that is just plain awesome.

We have also used the BELLI oil on shoulders for shoulder massages for stress, and the lavender is enjoyed by both of us. It's a great all-body oil and from the other reviews I've read, and from what I've seen first hand, this stuff is just terrific for the skin.

By all means, try this oil, even if you're not pregnant... but if you are, I think it's a pretty nice excuse to have your significant other spend some really quality attention time with you and bond with the baby even before you're introduced face-to-face.

This review is from: Belli Elasticity Belly Oil, 4 FL. OZ. (Misc.)

(What's this?)

This is a very nice skin product. Many of the ingredients are conducive to skin conditioning and repair. Belli contains several kinds of oils: Vitamin E, Almond oil, Grape Seed oil, and Safflower Seed oil. It also contains Lavender, Cocoa Seed Butter and Collagen Hydrolysates.

The product has a very pleasing scent, with the obvious presence of lavender. It is not overpowering but pleasant and long lasting.
Belli does adhere to teratology screening for their products, including this one, so pregnant women can feel assured that the ingredients are safe in general. There are also no man-made dyes in the product.

Like any other skin product, I am not sure the product will do too much to get rid of existing stretch marks, however the Vitamin E and Collagen Hydrolysates are known to help skin elasticity and firmness. So the product probably will help to minimize new stretch marks some and will contribute to overall skin conditioning.

The product is pricey, but the ingredients are all natural and/or high quality. Those seeking to minimize the effects of stretch marks might be able to get the same benefit by applying Vitamin E oil. Belli does have a wonderful scent that plain Vitamin E does not.

All in all a nice product, albeit a bit expensive.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Belli Elasticity Belly Oil, 4 FL. OZ. (Misc.)

I ordered this at the beginning of my pregnancy and used it fairly religiously at night. While I have to admit the smell of it is strong and definitely not my favorite, nor does it smell like lilacs, it works. I am entering my eighth month and have yet to get a stretch mark. Just wanted to share for anyone considering the purchase...it worked for me!
