Skincare for Pregnant: Becoming a mother is perhaps the most beautiful and tender aspect of a woman’s life. It is often said that a child gives birth to a mother. It is a new and exciting phase of a woman’s life where she re-discovers herself, her body and her mind and emotions.

It is also a time where the modern woman, juggling the  innumerable roles that she plays, is faced with a paucity of time. Lack of extended support systems in many modern, nuclear families invariably results in neglecting self-care and personal well-being.

There are many changes that occur in the woman’s body at this stage and dealing with them while taking care of a baby can be a quite overwhelming physically as well as emotionally. 

All these issues are a result of hormonal changes in the body and a vata-pitta imbalance as per Ayurveda.

 

                              

During pregnancy and as a new mother who is nursing her baby, we take on a nurturing and protecting role, and one of our biggest concerns is—Are the products that I consume or use safe for me and the baby?

Purity of self-care products is absolutely essential for not just the mother but also for the growing fetus or a nursing baby, so as to prevent any harmful chemicals from entering the baby’s system. So using pure, chemical-free, natural, food-grade, plant-based oils & butters instead of mineral oil or chemical-laden moisturizing lotions & creams, and also chemical-free cleansers are some of the easiest solutions.

"We don’t just rely on certificates. Since we believe that the products should be so pure that we can eat them, we actually test everything by tasting. And finally, apart from the lab tests, I personally test each batch on myself and on my daughter who is highly sensitive. So, you can rest assured that our products are completely safe for mums and babies alike." - Geeta, founder

We recommend the following products during pregnancy, postpartum and for babies...

1. Moisturizing Face and Body oil:  This is a well-balanced combination of sesame, coconut and almond oils. It works on different layers of the skin and penetrates deep inside to relax, soothe and nourish. Turmeric, which has antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties, protects the skin.

Usage:

a. As an all-purpose skincare companion for pregnant moms & babies

b. From the initial days of pregnancy to minimize stretch marks.

 

2. Zingiber Foot & Body Massage Oil: Post pregnancy, “vata” is further aggravated due to hormonal changes, lack of sleep, etc. The ginger and the sesame oils in this body oil relax and re-energise.  

Usage:

a. Foot, back and shoulder massage during and after pregnancy or full body application post bath instead of a moisturiser, when the body is stiff 

b. Foot massage before sleeping after a tired day. You can apply a few drops on baby’s feet too before cuddling him or her to sleep

 

c. For digestive discomfort during pregnancy or postpartum or for baby's colic.

The Parama Naturals' Zingiber Oil is so versatile that it has carminative and digestive properties even when applied. You can apply a little on your own stomach if you have flatulence. For baby - 2-3 drops mixed with moisturising oil on the baby’s tummy if he or she has colic, and also to boost their appetite

 

3. Nourishing Hair Oil and Serum: Excessive hair fall, dry & itchy scalp and hair brittleness is a common postpartum problem faced by many women, due to stress, low sleep and hormonal fluctuations

Usage:

• Apply a few drops of hair oil to your scalp daily to prevent hair fall, common during pregnancy and postpartum 
• It also soothes a dry and itchy scalp.
• Conditions and repairs damaged hair.

4. Multipurpose Butter For cracked nipples, made only with natural, vegan, plant-based ingredients, no mineral oil or animal products,

6. Turmeric All-Day Revitalizing Lite Skin Brightening Face Oil and Night Repair Anti-aging Turmeric Face Oil and Serum: To get back that glowing radiant skin despite the sleepless nights and time constraints, while also tackling the dark circles and fine lines that appear out of no where and make you look haggard.

a. Apply 2-3 drops after cleansing your face. Use it twice daily or any time your skin feels dry and stretched.

Usage:

b. Add an extra drop and massage the under-eye area
