Pregnancy Skincare 101: Coconut Oil Benefits During Pregnancy

The Benefits of Using Coconut Oil in Pregnancy

In pregnancy, we can go to a lot of effort to eat the right foods in order to nourish our growing baby from the inside. But what we use to nourish our bumps from the outside is important too! 

Skincare products absorb into the body, so it's important to look for pregnancy skincare products that are natural and made without disruptive perfumes and parabens etc. Using coconut oil in pregnancy can therefore be a game changer, because it's not only 100% natural but it's also affordable, effective and highly versatile.

Benefits of Coconut Oil in Pregnancy

Fragrance-free yet oh so naturally coconutty, our premium organic coconut oil contains none of the nasties you’ll find in many perfumed pregnancy products. Instead it's packed full of amazing skin-loving nutrients, moisturising fatty acids and nourishing vitamin E. And because it's also naturally anti-bacterial, it can work well as a natural deodorant too.

Skincare in Pregnancy

Skin goes through many changes during pregnancy and can become very sensitive. I for one developed an attractive covering of skin tags, or polyps, as well as a peppering of new moles. Delightful! Lots of mums-to-be also complain of stretch marks as well as patchy, dry, irritated or itchy skin.

Unfortunately, our coconut oil can’t fend off random mole growth. But it will naturally soften and moisturise the skin to help maintain elasticity and relieve the discomfort of your growing bump and breasts. All without the use of chemicals, preservatives and synthetic fragrances. Hooray!

When I was pregnant, I used Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil as an everyday bump and body moisturiser - and was lucky not to develop a single stretch mark. We’ve also had some great feedback from customers telling us the same thing!

  • I have been using my babys kokoso coconut oil on my skin recently, and on my c section scar, after a few weeks of using, my skin feels unbelievable, and my scar doesnt feel as harsh as before. Addicted.

    Literally just bought the balm stick, the body wash/ shampoo and scalp cream for my baby, so impressed!
