From trying to conceive through to pregnancy and beyond, your body deserves products that are as safe and nurturing as possible. At Amelia Nour, our fertility and pregnancy collection brings together carefully vetted skincare, body care and supplements that support you through every stage of this special journey.
During pregnancy, many commonly used skincare ingredients become off-limits, including retinoids, high-dose salicylic acid, certain essential oils and chemical sunscreen filters. Our pregnancy safe collection removes the worry, featuring only products that have been carefully reviewed to exclude ingredients flagged by healthcare professionals as potentially harmful during pregnancy.
For those on a fertility journey, our collection includes targeted supplements from trusted brands like Wild Nutrition that provide essential nutrients for preconception health. Folate, iron, zinc and vitamin D are among the key nutrients that support fertility and prepare the body for a healthy pregnancy. Our supplements use bioavailable, food-grown forms for optimal absorption.
Pregnancy brings unique skin changes, from hormonal breakouts and increased sensitivity to stretch marks and dryness. Our collection addresses these concerns with gentle, effective products that nourish and protect without exposing you or your baby to unnecessary chemicals. Soothing body oils help maintain skin elasticity, while gentle cleansers and moisturisers keep your complexion comfortable and balanced.
While we take great care in curating this collection, we always recommend discussing your skincare and supplement routine with your midwife or healthcare provider. Every pregnancy is unique, and professional guidance ensures you make the safest choices for your individual circumstances.
What skincare ingredients should I avoid in pregnancy?
Avoid retinoids, high-dose salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreen filters, certain essential oils and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives during pregnancy. Our collection excludes these ingredients. Always consult your midwife or healthcare provider for personalised advice.
When should I start taking prenatal supplements?
Ideally, start taking prenatal supplements three months before trying to conceive. Folate is particularly important in early pregnancy when neural tube development occurs, often before you know you are pregnant. Starting early ensures optimal nutrient levels from the very beginning.
Can I use vitamin C serum during pregnancy?
Yes, topical vitamin C is generally considered safe during pregnancy and can help with the hyperpigmentation that commonly occurs during this time. It provides antioxidant protection and supports collagen production. Our pregnancy safe collection includes suitable vitamin C options.
How do I prevent stretch marks during pregnancy?
While stretch marks are largely genetic, keeping skin well-moisturised can help maintain elasticity. Apply rich body oils and butters to the stomach, breasts, hips and thighs from early pregnancy. Ingredients like rosehip oil, vitamin E and shea butter are safe and nourishing.
Is natural skincare safer during pregnancy?
Natural and clean skincare products tend to avoid many ingredients flagged during pregnancy, making them a reassuring starting point. However, not all natural ingredients are automatically pregnancy safe, as some essential oils should be avoided. Our collection has been specifically curated for pregnancy safety.
