Top 3 pregnancy-safe Body OIls
Since our skin is the largest organ of our body and thought to absorb a high percentage of what we slather on it, pregnancy motivated us to swap-out our go-to conventional body lotions and oils in favor of products with a short list of clean ingredients. Simplifying our daily moisturizing routine in this way gave us peace-of-mind and just made us feel so deliciously pampered! These days, we can’t get enough of natural pregnancy body oils that blend good-for-you essential oils for healthy, supple skin. Our favorite top 3 clean pregnancy-safe body oils are easy to apply, fast-absorbing, and give us a soft, dewy glow for a vibrant look all over.
French Girl Lumiere Moonlight Shimmer Oil
Why we love it:
If you’re looking to take your maternity glow to the next level, then this natural pregnancy-safe body oil is for you. The French Girl Organics Lumiere Moonlight Oil totes just the perfect amount of ground mica to add the most subtle shimmer to your routine (no need to worry about disco ball sparkle here!). The added sheen is really just a bonus, as the oil itself is chock full of natural ingredients that will make dull skin transform to moisturized and radiant beyond the surface. We also love the scent, since it isn’t overpowering; you can use this oil alone or mixed into one of our Top 3 Non-Toxic Body Lotions for a little feminine, shiny pep in your step. This oil earned such high ratings from our testers that we popped it into our Relax & Refresh Luxury Pregnancy Bundle.
Why we love it:
This luxe multi-tasking oil is intensely moisturizing and soothing, whether mom is adding it to her body lotion, smoothing it directly over her growing belly to nourish stretching skin or layering it into her evening skincare routine to maximize hydration. Either way, it makes an indulgent addition to mama’s self-care ritual for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. We love it so much, we’ve featured it in our Spa Day Pregnancy Bundle!
Biossance 100% Squalane Oil
Why we love it:
Our favorite part of this oil is that it's so clean – made up of 100% squalane oil – and it’s completely fragrance-free. If you’re looking for a basic, no-nonsense natural pregnancy body oil to use from head to toe, this is a fantastic option. Rub it all over for soft, hydrated skin morning and night, with zero grease factor. The only drawback, we must admit, is its high price point. But, you can run some through the tips of your hair for moisture or blend with your foundation for a dewier glow, so it’s quite the multi-tasker.
