Top 3 Pregnancy-Safe Body Lotions
Lather, lather. Slather, slather. Much like your body wash, you essentially bathe yourself in lotion daily. Think of how much of that lotion is absorbed into your skin; in fact, that’s the whole point! We think lotion should not only be non-toxic, but also soothing, firming, and feel dreamy as you apply. A subtle if not non-existent scent is icing on the smooth skin cake. Here are our Top 3 Natural and Non-Toxic Pregnancy-Safe Body Lotions, or in this case lotions, balms & …stones? That’s right, true luxury awaits.
What criteria did we use to select our top three natural, non-toxic pregnancy-safe body lotions? Learn about our process here.
8 Sheep Organics Sleepy Body Lotion
Why we love it:
From your swollen feet, to your restless legs, to your sore lower back, sleep can be a real struggle, even without considering the multiple trips to the bathroom! 8 Sheep Organics has created the ultimate natural body moisturizer formula to tackle all of these woes at once (it’s blended with magnesium chloride to help relieve pain and prevent leg cramps). Massage (or better yet, have your partner massage!) the non-greasy, moisture-packed formula on all of your achy break-y parts, while enjoying deep breaths of the lavender oil to help send you into a peaceful dreamland more easily. When we were testing pregnancy-safe lotions, we loved this product so much that we decided to feature it in our Third Trimester Elevated Essentials Pregnancy Bundle, shown here, and it has since become a bestseller in our pregnancy shop.
Why we love it:
This is not your typical lotion; in fact it’s in bar (or “stone”) form. The Mama Stone natural body moisturizer is tailored exactly to our mom-to-be needs, filled with all the nutrients you need to keep your skin super hydrated and healthy as it is pulled in all sorts of directions. Also unscented, the stone melts on contact while you glide the stone over your skin. It does sit a little tacky on the skin just after application, so we actually loved it most with dry brushing as a truly luxurious end of the day ritual.
Necessaire The Body Lotion
Why we love it:
This natural, non-toxic body lotion is actually fragrance-free, even without that sometimes odd fragrance-free lotion scent we all know exists. Using all natural oils, this pregnancy-safe body lotion goes on smooth and sinks right in, leaving no sticky residue; perfect for those of us on the fly. We noticed our skin looked smoother and even had a bit of a natural glow; no shimmer needed!
