Looking To Smooth Pregnancy Stretch Marks? Try This Belly Oil Created By Harvard Doctors

Whether in pregnancy or postpartum, stretch marks are a very real part of the new mom experience. And while belly oils can help prevent and soothe stretch marks, many are made with potentially harmful ingredients. That’s why EllaOla, a brand we know and love for its premium, safe skincare for littles, worked with a team of Harvard doctors to craft a safe and effective Nourishing Belly Oil for new mamas, too. Meet the brand’s latest product below.

Creating Premium Skincare

EllaOla prides itself on the science-backed ingredients and proven skin benefits of all of its products. This Nourishing Belly Oil is no exception. It was developed by a team of Harvard dermatologists and OBGYNs to help smooth, firm and brighten skin while reducing stretch marks during pregnancy and postpartum. Plus, it’s EWG-certified.

Featuring 15 Proprietary Ingredients

The Nourishing Belly Oils taps into the power of 15 organic natural plant oils, botanical extracts and vitamin-rich ingredients to deliver effective results. French marine algae helps preserve skin suppleness and stimulates skin elasticity; Centella Asiatica Extract has strong scientific and clinical evidence to help prevent stretch marks; Vitamin C helps brighten, smooth, and even skin tone and texture; Argan Oil can increase skin elasticity and help visibly reduce stretch marks. You can read the full ingredient list – and discover its benefits – here.

Made Without Harmful Ingredients

Equally as important as what’s in this belly oil is what’s not. EllaOla’s Nourishing Belly Oil contains no top allergens – including synthetic fragrances, essential oils, or mineral oils. It’s also free of any unsafe ingredients for pregnant moms such as retinol and other vitamin A derivatives, salicylic acid and its derivatives, alcohol or other toxic/ harsh chemicals. Its EWG-certification means this belly oil meets the Environmental Working Group’s strictest standards for health and safety.

Here’s How To Use It

Massage the oil into the skin using a gentle circular motion until fully absorbed (and don’t worry – its quick-dry formula leaves you clothing-ready) twice a day for a minimum of 3 months. Because it’s made with such safe ingredients, it can be applied all over the body, including on the face.

And This Is What You Can Expect

Upon application, you’ll notice a natural botanical smell that’s calming but not overpowering. It’s suitable for sensitive skin (this belly oil is non-comedogenic so it won’t block or clog pores) to provide relief from dry, itchy skin. Prepare to apply it all over for a luxurious experience that won’t leave you feeling greasy. Over the course of use, your skin should feel smoother, firmer and brighter.
