Why Pregnancy Is the Time to Rethink What You Put on Your Skin?

Pregnancy is one of the most profound seasons of life. A woman's body is shifting, adapting, and nurturing a new life within — all while her hormones, skin, and sensitivities are changing by the day. It’s a tender, beautiful journey. But it’s also a time when many don’t realise just how important it is to become mindful of what goes on the skin.

We often think about eating healthier, moving more gently, and sleeping better during pregnancy. But what about our deodorant? Our body oil? The cream we slather on before bed? These products may seem harmless, but when you’re carrying a baby, your skin becomes more permeable — and more vulnerable to absorbing ingredients that could impact both you and your child.

Your Skin Absorbs More Than You Think.

The skin is the body’s largest organ. Everything we apply to it — from fragrances to moisturisers — can be absorbed into the bloodstream. While our bodies are smart and protective, pregnancy changes things. Blood flow increases, hormone levels shift, and the skin becomes more reactive. This means ingredients you once tolerated might suddenly cause irritation — or quietly make their way deeper into your system.

Certain parts of the body are especially sensitive, such as the underarms and breasts. The underarm area contains lymph nodes that are closely connected to the breast tissue — and many conventional deodorants contain aluminium, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives. These chemicals don’t just stay on the surface. Over time, they can accumulate and affect the delicate balance of the body, especially in areas involved in breastfeeding.

This is why more women are now turning to pregnancy safe skincare — products that are free from questionable ingredients, and formulated to be gentle, effective, and respectful to both mother and baby.

Prepare Your Body with Confidence.

Preparing your body for pregnancy is just as important as the journey itself.

Our Deodorant offers a safe, aluminium-free alternative to conventional deodorants, which often contain chemicals that may be absorbed through the underarm — an area closely linked to the breast.

As your body prepares for motherhood, our Rose Nurturing Body Oil can be used to gently massage the breast/ chest area, promoting healthy circulation and keeping the skin soft, supported, and beautifully cared for.

These little rituals can make a big difference in the months ahead. And when it comes to pregnancy skincare, choosing a brand you can trust gives you the peace of mind to focus on what matters most: your well-being and your baby.

With Dr. Hauschka, you're not just buying products. You're choosing a brand rooted in nature, backed by decades of research, and trusted by women around the world for gentle, holistic care.

A Safer, More Thoughtful Way to Care — or to Gift.

Whether you're an expecting mother, a friend, a sister, or a colleague looking for the right gift — it’s time to move away from conventional fragranced lotions or gift sets filled with chemical-laced bath bombs. These might look pretty, but they don’t always serve the well-being of someone who’s growing or caring for a baby.

Instead, choose something thoughtful. Something safe. Something that says:

"I see you, I support you, and I want you to be well."

That’s where skincare safe for pregnancy comes in. It’s not a trend — it’s a necessity.

A daily skincare routine will benefit you now by keeping skin firm, clear, and bright. Things just get better years from now, when everyone else is starting to wrinkle and you’re not. Upgrade your skincare and start your 3 steps skincare routine.
