Anti-stretch mark oil, an essential product for pregnant women

As all women have experienced, pregnancy brings significant emotional and physical changes, sometimes making it difficult for your body to keep up. This can manifest as excessive weight gain, but also as stretch marks. These red or purple streaks are damage to the elastic fibers in the dermis.

During pregnancy, or even after childbirth, the skin's elasticity is put to the test, and stretch marks can appear in large numbers (on the stomach, hips, breasts, buttocks, thighs...).

Although stretch marks usually appear during the last trimester, it is important to take great care of your skin from the very beginning of your pregnancy.

While choosing a balanced diet when you are pregnant and staying hydrated from the inside are two essential actions to limit them, know that there are also cosmetic solutions and targeted treatments (oils, creams and balms) to prevent stretch marks or reduce them effectively in pregnant women and new mothers.

The right thing to do: massage your skin with an anti-stretch mark oil

For this, nothing beats an anti-stretch mark oil, to be applied morning and evening to your skin. In addition to its unique sensory experience, the oil is ideal for performing a self-massage to reduce stretch marks, as your hands glide effortlessly over your skin. An anti-stretch mark oil is also perfect for feeling instantly relaxed, while nourishing your skin and promoting muscle warming.

At Daylily, we use natural active ingredients like plant oils in the formulation of our natural body care products. For example, you'll find them in our Sensory Anti-Stretch Mark Oil : Dermochlorella, which helps prevent stretch marks. Formulated without mineral oils, essential oils, or controversial ingredients or those not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding (such as allergens or endocrine disruptors), this skincare product is natural, hypoallergenic, and 100% "mum-friendly" to preserve the beauty of your skin while respecting your health and that of your baby.

Made in Provence, the Sensory Oil with its delicate biscuit scent can be used from the first month of pregnancy but also after the arrival of the baby to prevent the appearance of stretch marks in postpartum and to effectively combat existing stretch marks.

And if you prefer milk or cream textures, we also offer a stretch mark cream, Le Lait Fondant.

Which oil is best for stretch marks during pregnancy?

To prevent stretch marks during pregnancy, the best option is to use a product with natural ingredients, such as Sensory Oil, our anti-stretch mark oil with a dry texture specially formulated for expectant mothers! Guaranteed free of toxic ingredients for pregnant women and their babies, it contains organic plant oils with moisturizing and softening properties (Avocado, Rosehip, Macadamia, Sweet Almond, and Organic Olive Oil), which nourish and soften the skin, as well as a natural anti-stretch mark active ingredient, Dermochlorella. Derived from a microalga, it is unparalleled in boosting collagen and elastin production, thus naturally helping the skin stretch throughout pregnancy. We recommend applying Melting Lotion and Sensory Oil morning and evening; it is thanks to these two daily applications that the anti-stretch mark treatment can be effective.

Why is it essential to start applying an anti-stretch mark oil as soon as you learn you are pregnant?

Applying an anti-stretch mark oil early is essential, starting as soon as you know you're pregnant. It's the key to preventing those permanent marks on skin that stretches to make room for the growing baby. Starting early allows the skin to become more resilient, thanks to essential nutrients that boost elasticity and suppleness . An oil specially formulated for pregnant women deeply nourishes the skin, increasing its ability to stretch without tearing. This routine helps minimize the risk of stretch marks that can appear as your belly grows. Anti-stretch mark oil acts not only as a protective shield but also as a corrective treatment, preserving the health and appearance of your skin during this period of intense change.

When should I start using an anti-stretch mark treatment or oil?

The sooner the better! While stretch marks generally appear during the second and third trimesters, it's recommended not to wait for the first signs to develop before taking care of your belly, breasts, and all the surrounding areas subject to significant skin stretching (buttocks, hips, upper thighs, etc.). The best approach is to start moisturizing your body morning and evening as early as possible, using targeted products and massaging the skin well with circular motions to promote its elasticity.

What ingredients should not be included in the composition of anti-stretch mark pregnancy oil?

Not all active ingredients are safe for pregnant women. Applying certain ingredients to the skin is not recommended as they could harm the baby's development. However, it is entirely possible to find natural skincare products that will take care of you. During pregnancy, endocrine disruptors should be avoided, and essential oils are discouraged and prohibited during the first three months of pregnancy (due to their effect on the hormonal system). Mineral oils should be replaced with vegetable oils, which are healthier for the baby. Also, be mindful of allergens and alcohols. Find the list of active ingredients not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

When pregnant, what ingredients should you look for in an effective anti-stretch mark oil?

In an effective stretch mark oil, look for nourishing ingredients like avocado oil, rich in vitamins, and rosehip oil, known for its skin-regenerating properties. Sweet almond oil is essential for hydration, while vitamin E supports healing and improves elasticity. Opt for formulas containing dermochlorella , a natural active ingredient that promotes collagen production. Ensure these ingredients are organic and free of harmful substances for safe use during pregnancy.

How does the regular application of an anti-stretch mark oil affect skin health?


Regular application of an anti-stretch mark oil plays a vital role in skin health during pregnancy. By deeply moisturizing, it makes the skin more supple, allowing it to stretch more easily as your body changes. This daily nourishment helps retain moisture and maintain the skin's integrity, supporting its natural ability to regenerate and repair the micro-tears that can develop into stretch marks. With continued use, the oil strengthens the skin barrier , thus reducing the appearance of new stretch marks and helping to fade existing ones. Skin that is consistently nourished and treated is more resistant to stretching, reducing the risk of stretch marks in the long term. A well-established routine with a quality anti-stretch mark oil is therefore an investment in the long-term health of your skin.

How to incorporate an anti-stretch mark oil into your skincare routine during pregnancy?

Incorporating an anti-stretch mark oil into your pregnancy routine is simple. Apply it with the Melting Lotion or twice a day , after showering, while your skin is still damp to maximize absorption. Start with light circular massages on your belly, hips , and any areas prone to stretching. This regular practice maintains skin hydration and elasticity, key to preventing stretch marks. Make it a moment of connection with your baby, strengthening your bond while caring for your skin. Consistency is your ally: daily application guarantees optimal effectiveness and supports your skin throughout your pregnancy.

Can it be continued after childbirth?

Yes, without hesitation. After giving birth, the body remains sensitive and sometimes reactive. Some stretch marks may even appear at this time, due to rapid weight loss or hormonal changes. This Daylily product can be used safely after giving birth, even if you are breastfeeding. Its pleasant fragrance respects your needs and is captivating. Simply rinse the affected area, the nipple, before each feeding. This little daily moment helps you regain comfort. It envelops sensitive areas like the stomach or breasts and restores suppleness to your entire body. Take the time to treat yourself to this wellness ritual in the evening, after your shower or just before going to bed. Give yourself a relaxing massage that reconnects you with your figure and your sensations. Immerse yourself in your own world, without constraints, to bridge the gap between before and after. You deserve this. This reconnection and this time for yourself are precious in your hectic daily life.

How to limit stretch marks during pregnancy?

The best approach is to start using suitable products from the very first weeks. A gentle massage morning and evening will keep your skin supple and comfortable.
