Stretch mark creams and belly balms should be soothing and safe. Here are some tips to ease skin tension and avoid over-stretching or scarring before and after giving birth:
Lanolin is a natural wax found in sheep wool so you’d think it would be safe. But sheep are usually sprayed with pesticides to kill mites and other pests, meaning the lanolin may contain pesticide residues. Lanolin is also known as a contact allergen, meaning it can cause a bad reaction by over-activating the immune system after penetrating the skin.
Petroleum jelly (also referred to as petrolatum or mineral oil) are all derived from petroleum, a non-renewable resource. During the refinement process, the carcinogenic contaminants are said to be removed, but some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which increase cancer risk, may remain. In short, these products are not something you want on your body.
Synthetic fragrances contain phthalates to boost the scent’s staying power. The phthalate commonly used in fragrance products is diethyl phthalate, or DEP. Sometimes this won’t be listed, so be cautious if you simply see “fragrance” as an ingredient. Some phthalates are known to be carcinogenic and others may contribute to reproductive and neurodevelopmental problems.
Two pure essential oils, tea tree and lavender, often added for fragrance, have been shown to have estrogenic properties that could impact reproductive health. Other essential oils have not been tested for these properties so it is unknown whether or not that’s a concern.
Ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil, beeswax, coconut oil or shea butter (ideally organic and without any fragrances, preservatives or other additives) can be good alternatives.
You can find a variety of stretch mark cream and belly balm recipes online, but just make sure of the purity of the ingredients and that they contain no fragrances or other additives.
