About the Product:
Weleda Stretch Mark Massage Oil (formerly Pregnancy Body Oil) with a base of sweet almond oil works gently, delivering intensely moisturizing essential fatty acids that keep your skin supple and protected from drying. Because pregnancy is a big job for your muscles and skin, our organic arnica flower extract helps ease tightness and provides a layer of comforting warmth when you indulge yourself with a soothing massage.
Nourishing wheat germ oil conditions and refines your skin’s texture with a high quantity of vitamins A, D and E. Regular use visibly helps to correct the appearance of stretch marks on your pregnant belly; your thighs, bottom and breasts; and helps prevent the appearance of new ones. Now you can take a deep breath, relax and save the deep stretching for yoga.
Weleda Stretch Mark Oil has been developed in conjunction with doctors and midwives to provide comfort and skin care for mum before, during and after pregnancy.

Review:
When pregnant women feel relaxed and pampered, it increases oxytocin levels - the 'love hormone' which is then absorbed by the growing baby. When the woman's partner massage's her belly, it brings the three of them closer together. I will definitely be recommending Weleda's Pregnancy Oil as its made by a company I trust as it only uses pure and natural ingredients., Tamara Donn, Pregnancy and Mother Mentor, www.womantomother.co.uk
