A nourishing body oil with organic plant oils and vitamin E to support a growing belly and soothe dry and irritated skin.
〰
Gentle & Unscented
For safety during pregnancy/breastfeeding as well as for infants and children, the Babe in the Woods line is unscented. The plant oils have their own innate subtle aromas: warm, earthy, and slightly nutty.
BENEFITS
Sunflower Oil contains linoleic acid (omega 6) and oleic acid (omega 9), both of these fatty acids hydrate the skin and support its natural barrier function. Sunflower oil also contains E, an antioxidant that helps inhibit oxidation while healing, soothing, and moisturizing the skin and is non-greasy, and easily absorbed.
Jojoba Oil is very similar to our skin's own sebum and therefore provides true nutrients that keeps the skin supple and soft throughout the day. Jojoba has anti-inflammatory properties, is antibacterial and and provides healing support. Its high wax content supports skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis and eczematous dermatitis.
Shea Nut Oil is anti-inflammatory, non-greasy, easily absorbed by the skin and has emollient properties that support dry skin and hair. It is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and supports skin elasticity, penetrating the dermis (stretch marks are formed is this layer of skin) helping to nourish, replenish and repair.
Vitamin E is a fat soluble antioxidant that has a long history of clinical use in dermatology. We source our Vitamin E from non-gmo sunflowers, instead of gmo soy. Vitamin E slows down oxidation and protects the skin from free radical damage. It has anti- inflammatory properties and delivers nutrients to the skin to help moisturize and soothe. While some ingredients sit on the top of the skin, Vitamin E penetrates to the dermis layer of the skin, making it a supportive ingredient in our belly oil during pregnancy to nourish the skin and minimize the appearance of stretch marks.
