During pregnancy your body does amazing things, from changes to your hair and skin, your sense of smell and that most obvious - that ever expanding stomach!  This is an exciting time but can have some side effects.  Unsightly stretch marks are one of the many concerns of pregnant women.

Our special, hypo-allergenic Stretch Mark Lotion will give your skin every chance to retain moisture and condition it for this exciting time.

What Are Stretch Marks?

When skin is stretched beyond its natural elasticity it will create tiny tears.  When these tears heal scar tissue is formed into unsightly bumps and lines and is known as stretch marks.  This is not exclusive to women. Men and women old and young can be effected. Anyone who experiences dramatic weight gain, body building, or anyone going through rapid growth may experience them.

You will often hear people state that stretch marks are like grey hairs - and that you have earned them.  We believe there is nothing wrong with a natural helping hand to keep you being that yummy mummy.

By applying the Stretch Mark Lotion you will be creating the best conditons for your skin to stretch to its natural capacity.  There is no guarantee but every little bit will help your skin stretch for that ever expanding bump.

Collagen

One of the most important ingredients in our lotion is moisturising Algae Extract.  It provides seaweed collagen which mimics the well-known benefits of collagen.

Collagen is the human body's main connective tissue.  It enhances tissue development and strengthens blood vessels.  When your skin is put under stress, this seaweed collagen can help to alleviate any tissue damage and scarring.

We love organic Calendula - and it is now becoming increasingly known for its healing properties, working both as an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory.  It will help to detoxify your body and sooth any irritated skin.

Our variety of natural ingredients helps to promote the moisture and condition of your skin.  From superb natural hydrating properties to ingredients to improve your skin tone.  Mixed together and packaged just for you in our recyclable containers.
