This is baby number three for me—and honestly? I really wish I had tallow the first two times around. I’ve been using our Restorative Balm almost every night since the start of this pregnancy, and now at 33 weeks, my belly doesn’t feel tight, itchy, or like it’s about to burst out of my skin 😅 It’s been such a simple little ritual that’s made a huge difference. No dryness. No discomfort. No stretch marks in sight. Just soft, calm, supported skin that’s keeping up with every week of growth This little ritual—right after my shower, before I climb into bed—has become such a small comfort in a very big season of change. And honestly, my skin has never felt better. You could use any of our balms, but I love the Restorative Balm during pregnancy because it’s our richest formula—made with: ✨ Grass-fed tallow ✨ Organic jojoba oil ✨ Raw Manuka honey ✨ Organic calendula 💡 Why tallow balm during pregnancy? As your belly grows, your skin stretches rapidly, which can cause: 👎Micro-tears in the dermis 👎Disrupted skin barrier function 👎Itching and discomfort 👎Increased sensitivity Tallow’s unique composition makes it ideal for supporting skin through that stretch: ✔️ Palmitic Acid – reinforces the skin barrier and reduces moisture loss ✔️ Stearic Acid – softens skin and supports flexibility during stretching ✔️ Oleic Acid – deeply penetrates to deliver moisture below the surface ✔️ Conjugated Linoleic Acid – calms inflammation and aids in cellular repair Together, these fatty acids help maintain skin elasticity, prevent dryness, and reduce the likelihood of tearing (which is what leads to stretch marks). ❌ Why I skip the conventional stretch mark creams: -They’re often full of chemicals I wouldn’t put on my baby—let alone my pregnant belly -“Natural” brands still sneak in fragrance and questionable preservatives -Many feel sticky, synthetic, or just don’t absorb well 💛 What I do want: ✔️ Whole, recognizable ingredients ✔️ Something I trust on my skin and my baby’s ✔️ A balm that actually supports the skin—not just sits on top of it 💬 Comment “STRETCH” and I’ll send the link your way
