Description

Growing Belly Balm is a rich botanical body balm made with organic cocoa butter, shea butter, and apricot kernel oil to deeply moisturize skin as it stretches during pregnancy and beyond.

This whipped butter balm melts into the skin, helping lock in moisture while keeping skin feeling soft, supple, and comfortable through the many changes of pregnancy. Rich plant butters create a protective moisture barrier while lightweight apricot kernel oil absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy.

While made with pregnant bellies in mind, Growing Belly Balm is equally at home on dry elbows, knees, heels, or anywhere your skin craves extra nourishment.
2 fl oz

Ritual

 Massage onto damp skin after bathing or showering to help seal in moisture.

Pay special attention to growing bellies, hips, breasts, thighs, or anywhere skin feels tight, dry, or stretched.

Tip: Apply while your skin is still wet from the shower, then towel dry as usual to help maximize hydration.

Shelf Life

Lasts 6 months. Store in a cool and dry place. Our products are organic and freshly made skin food. We do not use toxins that make things last forever.

Details
Growing Belly Balm was created to support skin through one of the biggest transformations it can experience. As pregnancy progresses, skin stretches quickly, often leaving it feeling tight, itchy, or dry. This rich balm helps replenish moisture and soften skin so it feels comfortable through every stage.

Its simple three-ingredient formula skips unnecessary additives in favor of deeply nourishing plant butters and oils.

Best for:
Pregnancy belly care
Stretching skin
Dry, tight, or itchy skin
Postpartum body care
Elbows, knees, heels, and rough patches

Not ideal for:
Those looking for a lightweight lotion

Note on the term “Mama”
To our pregnant and birthing people, we see "Mama" as both a divine and earthly energy. People of all genders can embody the nurturing spirit of Mama through caring, protecting, and creating. Our Mama & Babe collection honors that energy rather than defining a particular identity.

FAQ
What is Growing Belly Balm used for?
Growing Belly Balm is designed to deeply moisturize skin as it stretches during pregnancy. It can also be used anywhere skin feels dry, tight, or in need of extra nourishment.
Can I use Growing Belly Balm during pregnancy?
Yes. Growing Belly Balm is made with a simple blend of organic shea butter, cocoa butter, and apricot kernel oil and contains no added essential oils or synthetic fragrance.
Can I use this after pregnancy?
Absolutely. Many people continue using Growing Belly Balm postpartum or anytime skin needs rich, lasting moisture.
Can this be used as a moisturizer on the newborn as well?
Yes, you can use on your littles for mild rough patches and irritated skin.
Curious why this Belly Balm doesn't contain Vitamin E?
Pure Vitamin E can sometimes cause an adverse reaction for some skin types. We like to keep our ingredients as simple as possible, working with the natural constituents within the plants themselves.
Does this product help fade already existing stretch marks?
While Growing Belly Balm is great for nourishing skin as it stretches and shrinks it does not have ingredients that specifically help to minimize existing stretch marks. Our Face Oil, however, contains tamanu oil which has traditionally been used to soften the appearance of scars, so that could be a great option.
