More than care – for you and your little miracle.

Pregnancy is a very special time—your body is changing to make room for new life. But with these changes come new challenges for your skin. Many pregnant women notice dryness, itching, pigmentation changes, or stretch marks. But with the right care, you can optimally support your skin so it stays healthy and radiant.

Why does the skin change during pregnancy?

The hormonal changes during pregnancy have a significant impact on the skin. The increase in estrogen and progesterone makes it more sensitive and prone to irritation. At the same time, increased blood flow and enhanced melanin production alter the skin's appearance.

According to a study in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (Chang et al., 2021), over 90% of pregnant women report skin changes – from dryness and itching to hyperpigmentation and hormonal blemishes.

Pregnancy & skin problems. What helps?

01 Dry skin & itching

During pregnancy, skin often loses moisture more quickly. Hormonal changes, water retention, and a change in pH often make the skin—especially on the stomach—dry, sensitive, and tight.

How to support your skin: Care for it daily with moisturizing creams and oils, such as shea butter, almond oil, or jojoba oil. These valuable ingredients help strengthen the skin's natural barrier and give the skin noticeable suppleness. Also, drink plenty of water – because true moisturizing starts from within. Avoid long, hot showers if possible, as they can further dry out the skin.

02 Stretch marks. Striae gravidarum.

When the belly, breasts, or thighs grow, the skin has to perform at its peak. If it is stretched too much, so-called stretch marks develop – which affect up to 70% of all pregnant women (Farahnik et al., Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2017).

How to support your skin: A daily massage—preferably with almond oil or a special pregnancy oil—helps maintain skin elasticity. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid or centella asiatica promote skin regeneration. A protein-rich diet with vitamin C and zinc also supports collagen production and gives the skin more elasticity.

03 Hyperpigmentation & Pregnancy Mask. Melasma.

Due to increased melanin production, many pregnant women develop darker patches of skin, especially on the face—the so-called pregnancy mask. The linea nigra, a dark stripe on the abdomen, is also a typical symptom of this special time.

How to protect and support your skin: The most important step is daily sun protection. A day cream with SPF 50 protects against further pigmentation. Creams with niacinamide or vitamin C can help gently reduce existing spots. After birth, many discolorations disappear on their own – it often just takes a little time and patience.

Ideal skincare routine for pregnant women

01 Mild cleansing – gentle but effective:

Start and end your day with a gentle cleanser to remove sweat, oil, and environmental particles. Choose a mild, fragrance-free cleanser or lotion to avoid irritation.

02 Moisturizing care – protects the skin barrier:

Since your skin loses more moisture during pregnancy, nourishing care is especially important. Choose creams with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or panthenol to gently strengthen the skin barrier.

03 Abdominal & body care – prevent stretch marks:

Massage your stomach, thighs, and chest daily with a firming oil or a cream containing vitamin E. This will help your skin stay elastic and accompany all changes carefully, naturally, and lovingly.

04 Sun protection – protection against pigment spots:

A daily sun protection factor (SPF 50) is especially important for preventing dark spots. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are best – gentle, safe, and reliable.

Skincare that accompanies you during your pregnancy

During pregnancy, your skin does a lot of work—stretching, adapting, and protecting the little baby inside you. It needs special care right now. With the right care, you can relieve tightness, maintain elasticity, and help your skin retain its natural radiance.

Carefully selected ingredients are crucial – inspired by the wonders of nature and tailored to this special time.

Pregnant women's skin is particularly receptive. That's why it's so important to provide it with only what it truly needs: pure, natural care, free from anything superfluous. Valuable plant extracts, vitamins, and antioxidants give your skin exactly what it deserves – gentle, effective, and lovingly tailored to the needs of expectant mothers.

Care oils against stretch marks

Stretch marks develop when the skin is stretched beyond its elastic limit. High-quality plant oils are proven to gently support connective tissue. Mongongo oil, used by mothers for centuries, provides the skin with essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Tasmanian peppercorn (TASMANOL™) has a soothing effect, while apricot kernel, almond, and jojoba oils nourish the skin and keep it supple. Regular massages improve circulation, strengthen tissue, and can help gently care for scars after childbirth. German chamomile and vitamin E soothe skin irritations and promote resilience.

Moisturizing Lotion & Creams

During pregnancy, skin often loses moisture more quickly. Hormonal changes can increase feelings of tightness. A moisturizing facial moisturizer with collagen and folic acid helps firm the skin and promote its natural regeneration. Collagen strengthens the skin's structure and adds firmness, while folic acid supports cell renewal—especially important during times of hormonal changes. Gentle botanical ingredients combined with moisture-retaining components relieve dryness and protect against moisture loss. Look for vegan, paraben-free, and alcohol-free formulas.

Gentle cleansing & protection of the skin barrier

Pregnant women's skin is often more sensitive to external influences. A gentle cleanser that maintains its natural pH balance and doesn't dry out the skin is especially important. A moisturizing skincare routine protects and strengthens the skin barrier. Plant-based oils such as almond and coconut oil provide intensive moisture, preserve elasticity, and leave the skin feeling soft. Here, too, it's important to use gentle, alcohol-free formulas that soothe and protect the skin. This way, skin stays healthy, fresh, and resilient during pregnancy – despite the many changes this special time brings.
