There's always a reason to press pauze and to take care of yourself for a moment. These 5 beauty products are made especially for pregnant women and new moms. That's the way we like it.

1. Natural perfume by Abel Odor x Gray Label

Looking for a 100% pure and natural perfume? It’s Abel Odor you should turn to. The Amsterdam-rooted brand joined forces with organic kids clothing brand Gray Label, to create a fragrance especially for pregnant women. All the ingredients were carefully chosen because of their scent profile and healing properties: calming rose, energizing orange blossom. But also ginger for its anti-nausea properties and sandalwood for grounding. No nasties, no chemicals, only natural stuff. And it smells. So. Good.

2. Mama & baby body oil by Kenkô

During her pregnancy Kenkô founder Eveline got the idea to develop a skincare line that offered products for both mother and baby. While the ingredients in the mom and baby products differ in concentration, they share the same scent, to enhance the bond between mother and child. All products are made in the Netherlands. 

3. A sheet mask for your belly by Hatch Mama 

A sheet mask for your belly - why the hell not? Made to nourish the skin of your bump as it is growing, but also good to use post-pregnancy. It’s an act of selfcare, and you know you deserve it.

4. Nourishing body oils by Clarins

Whether or not you’ll get stretch marks is partially a matter of genetics. Giving your skin some extra love and care won’t hurt, though. Clarins put the best natural oils in a pretty bottle. Big yes: the scent is natural, but oh so good.

5. Softening nipple balm by SoKind 

Dry, sore or cracked nipples when breastfeeding? There’s a solution to that. Treat them with this repairing balm full of moisturizing botanical ingredients. Tip: also works wonders for dry lips. Safe for mother and baby, of course.
