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. 

How to Use Coconut Oil in Pregnancy:

• Body and bump moisturiser
• Breast balm
• Pregnancy stretch mark oil
• Natural deodorant 
• Foot and ankle rub at the end of a long day
• Massage oil - suitable for any aching body parts
• Perineal massage
• Natural lubricant 
• Hair mask
• Makeup remover

Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil is the perfect all-in-one pregnancy skincare product that serves all of these pregnancy skincare needs.  

“My third pot of Kokoso Baby has arrived! I was having a little panic as had nearly run out. Using on bump daily and still no stretch marks with 7 weeks to go. Thank you!" Charlotte Raines

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!

Lightweight and Non-Greasy

We selected Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil specifically to care for delicate baby skin because it’s extremely lightweight and absorbs better than other natural oils. So there’s no need to worry about it leaving your bump feeling greasy.

Just remember that a little goes a long way with our coconut oil, making it a great value, long-lasting product as well as bringing a whole host of amazing skincare benefits to you and baby.
