Skin type: Normal, Dry, Oily & Combination (Oily-Dry)
Our Pregnancy Bath Salts are a luxurious way to soothe mind and body during pregnancy. This blend combines calming herbs and essential oils of rose geranium, lavender, and Roman chamomile with Himalayan salts to help relieve any tension, promote deep relaxation, and nourish the skin. Perfect when mum-to-be needs a little time to herself.
Himalayan salt
Himalayan salt is rich in an impressively wide array of trace minerals required by the body, such as magnesium, iron, calcium and zinc. Soaking your body in this salt is a great way to nourish and soothe your skin. It helps to maintain the skin’s natural barrier, supporting hydration and keeping irritants out. Himalayan salt also enhances skin detoxification, not only through its gentle exfoliating action, but also by absorbing dirt and toxins and thanks to its natural antibacterial properties. It rejuvenates and softens the skin to give it a natural glow and vibrancy.
Calendula oil
Calendula is a gentle but powerful wound healer: it heals and soothes the skin by promoting cell repair. It also acts as an antiseptic, so it can help prevent and support the body in dealing with any infections, wounds or rashes. It is a well-loved herb, often included in herbal skincare recipes. This bright orange flower has anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in antioxidants that protect the skin from damage caused by stress or pollutants.
Oatstraw
Oatstraw is renowned for its soothing and nourishing effect on the nervous system, like a warming herbal hug! It is perfect for restoring life to tired feet and achy muscles. Oatstraw also contains silica and other minerals that are needed for strong bones, hair, teeth and nails. Due to its unique soothing effects, it is particularly supportive for inflamed, tired, irritated or dry skin.
Rose petals
Aromatically, the delicate smell of rose alone is enough to calm and fill a busy mind with a loving reassurance that all will be ok. We use rose petals in our pregnancy bath salts because they are perfect for uplifting the mood as well as tonifying, nourishing and calming the skin.
Chamomile
The golden yellow flowerheads of German chamomile alleviate inflammation and skin irritation, support the natural healing process, and soothe any tension.
Lavender flowers and essential oil
Lavender is excellent for calming tension and muscle spasms and relieving tension. Thanks to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, lavender also protects and soothes the skin, and supports its natural healing process. Our pregnancy bath salts contain both full dried lavender flowers and added lavender essential oil.
Rose geranium essential oil
The sweet and floral essential oil of rose geranium is soothing and balancing. It promotes relaxation and emotional stability. It benefits both body and mind with its ability to clear up restlessness, tension and grief. It gently cleanses the skin with its antimicrobial properties, preventing any infection and bringing a radiant glow to the skin.
Roman chamomile essential oil
Roman chamomile is a gentle, mild sedative that helps to promote relaxation, and calm a busy mind. It has a comforting and calming scent which promotes relaxation and can help to relieve tension. It can also help promote a good night’s sleep, which is very important and sometimes elusive during pregnancy.
This product contains himalayan pink salt, almond oil, calendula, oat straw, rose, chamomile, lavender, lavender essential oil, rose geranium essential oil and Roman chamomile essential oil
How to use
Add a generous handful of the bath salts directly to your bathwater. Allow the salts to dissolve and the herbs to infuse for a few minutes before entering the bath. For a tidier experience, place the salts in the provided muslin bag before adding them to the bath. You can reuse the bag for future baths.

External use only. Suitable from the second trimester of pregnancy. Do not use on infected, irritated or broken skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare advisor.

To enhance the effects of the Pregnancy Bath Salts:
-
Stay Hydrated: Prioritise your hydration. Aim for at least 2 litres of water daily. This not only aids skin elasticity but supports overall bodily functions.
-
Movement Matters: Engage in gentle exercises. Prenatal yoga, swimming, or just leisurely walks can help maintain flexibility and boost circulation.
-
Restorative Rest: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep. Nurturing life can be exhausting; listen to your body and indulge in short, rejuvenating naps if needed.
-
Nutritious Intake: Focus on a balanced diet. Incorporate whole foods, abundant leafy greens, healthy proteins and omega-rich fats (chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, fatty fish), ensuring you and your baby receive essential nutrients.
-
Mindfulness and Calm: Stress can be taxing. Consider techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or pranayama to foster a serene mindset.
-
Professional Guidance: Always maintain regular check-ins with your healthcare advisor, especially if introducing any significant dietary or lifestyle changes during pregnancy.
