What effective active ingredients should you choose in your anti-stretch mark cream?

December 26, 2024 Audrey Hababou

There are many anti-stretch mark products on the market: cream, oil, gel, serum... when it comes to taking care of your skin to help it soften without cracking, there is no shortage of options! However, not all anti-stretch mark treatments are equal. What makes the difference ? The nature of the ingredients included in the formulations and their concentration. Let's take stock of the active ingredients to favor during pregnancy so as not to go through stretch marks and maintain a body without marks .

  1. The benefits of anti-stretch mark treatments
  2. Natural active ingredients to favor in your anti-stretch mark cream
  3. What active ingredients for an effective anti-stretch mark cream or oil?

The benefits of anti-stretch mark treatments

Stretch marks are these purplish streaks that appear when the epidermis is subjected to great tension and no longer has the capacity to stretch. The skin literally “cracks” and welts appear, similar to scars. Rapid weight gain, such as during pregnancy, promotes the appearance of stretch marks. It is worth remembering that stretch marks can also appear in cases of rapid weight loss, such as after birth. Massage with an anti-stretch mark product is a reflex to integrate into your beauty routine as soon as you announce your pregnancy and which should continue for up to three months after giving birth! Remember to put your cream or oil in your maternity suitcase ;-) Regardless of the anti-stretch mark treatments you adopt, it is always advisable to apply them twice a day for optimal effectiveness.

Red/purple in color at first, the stretch mark fades over the weeks to leave a pearly white mark, more discreet in terms of color, but also more difficult to dislodge. This is why it is important to act in prevention by using anti-stretch mark creams from the first trimester, and to remain involved in their daily application, because these treatments also have the capacity to act on visible stretch marks by reducing their appearance, length, their tone, and improving the appearance of the skin.

You will have understood: an anti-stretch mark treatment, to be effective, must soften, soften and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, responsible for skin elasticity.
The product applied must also have restorative and corrective properties to act on stretch marks already present on the stomach, chest, buttocks and upper thighs, areas that are heavily used when expecting a baby.

Natural active ingredients to favor in your anti-stretch mark cream

As you know, when you are pregnant, all the creams, anti-stretch mark or not, that you apply to your body and face can have consequences on your health and that of the baby. Conventional care often contains harmful substances: endocrine disruptors, unsavory preservatives, carcinogens or allergens are hidden in treatment formulations that are not always easy to decipher for the uninitiated. Choosing natural cosmetics for the face, body and hair makes sense to take care of yourself safely and not impact the growth of the fetus.

It is better to focus on natural active ingredients and avoid chemical active ingredients and their potential harm to your health and that of the baby. When we know that the skin absorbs a large part of the ingredients used in cosmetics and care, we understand the importance of making the right choices. Some natural active ingredients can even be found in your kitchen! Olive oil, for example, was already used in Greece during Antiquity and recognized for its benefits on the skin!

Be careful, however, for pregnant women, some precautions are necessary: ​​not everything that is natural is necessarily good for the baby. Take the example of essential oils, often present in organic cosmetics such as massage creams, hair products, body and face creams. If a small handful can be used from the second trimester, always with the agreement of your doctor or gynecologist, most are not suitable and can have teratogenic or toxic effects for the baby. The solution ? Turn to specialist pregnancy and breastfeeding care brands, such as Daylily Paris. No risk for the mother and her child: this is our leitmotif, which is anchored in our strict cosmetological charter. We have simply banned from our formulas ingredients not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, to allow you to pamper yourself with peace of mind!

What active ingredients for an effective anti-stretch mark cream or oil?

At Daylily, we have focused on natural active ingredients with proven effectiveness for our range of anti-stretch mark treatments: organic vegetable oils, Dermochlorella and Body3Complex!

Dermochlorella comes from a micro-algae. Rich in peptides and amino acids, it has the ability to stimulate the production of elastin and collagen. Its composition is also quite close to human collagen. Its softening action boosts the elasticity of the skin and makes it a particularly interesting ingredient for pregnant women!

It is associated with a complex of five organic vegetable oils with beneficial properties recognized for taking care of your body.

  • Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic acid, softens, repairs and protects the skin.
  • Sweet Almond oil has no equal for softening the skin and helping it heal. Suitable for all skin types, it nourishes dry skin and soothes sensitive skin.
  • Olive oil : full of antioxidants and vitamins A, D and E, it reduces inflammation, improves the appearance of scars and the quality of the skin while ensuring its deep hydration, it also restores the hydrolipidic film of the skin.
  • Rosehip oil , also called rosehip oil, is perfect for helping the skin heal, while restoring great suppleness. It is the perfect ally to reduce stretch marks and reduce hyperpigmentation .
  • Avocado oil : rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, it is a real ally for promoting skin elasticity and cell regeneration and thus preventing the appearance of stretch marks.

These oils allow a deep massage, but penetrate quickly without leaving a greasy or sticky effect on the skin.

You will find them alongside Dermochlorella in Lait Fondant and in Daylily Huile Sensorielle.
