Customer Reviews of Belli Elasticity Belly OilCustomer Review: Minimal ingredients for an excellent product... Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Belli Elasticity Belly Oil has just a few ingredients:
Sweet Almont Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Lavender Oil, Gotu Kola Extract, Cocoa Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) , Safflower Seed Oil, Collagen Hydrolysates (Marine Derived).
As a person with fairly sensitive skin, I prefer simpler concoctions for my skin care, which is one of the reasons I chose this product.
I do know a thing or two about stretchmarks, having been through a pregnancy that stretched my belly quite a bit- even though my son was a singleton, due to excess amniotic fluid I was measuring 48 weeks when I delivered at 33...Or, to give you a more current reference- my belly was around the size of Kate's in Jon and Kate Plus 8. Huge. So my skin was stretched quite a bit... I knew from previous weight gains and losses, that my skin is prone to stretch marks, and pregnancy definitely delivered plenty more.
From my understanding, stretchmarks are not preventable- some women get them, others do not... But caring for your stretching belly skin is very important- even just for comfort, as stretching and stretched pregnant bellies can be unbearably itchy. (some itching is cause for concern, and I suggest a call to your midwife or doctor if you are getting itchy or rashy)
There are a zillion formulas out there on how to sooth and pamper your stretching skin, I don't think judging one because it didn't prevent stretchmarks is fair because nothing prevents them.
I am not pregnant now, but I still have a lovely hammock in front and I cannot afford plastic surgery or the downtime I do moisturize the belly skin and I find that certain formulas actually seem to make it look and feel less like an extra appendage and more like part of me.
BELLI does that. It comes in a generous 4oz glass bottle (I'm not crazy about glass in the bathroom, but with various oils and essential oils, plastic would probably contaminate or degrade too quickly) with a handy pump... It is oil, so it is greasy when you first squirt it into your hand and rub it in... And then it's gone. The grease, the oil is gone, rapidly absorbed. In it's wake it leave behind the softest, silkiest skin. Belli oil truly feels like a decadent splurge but also a responsible one, due to the company's mission statement (a doctor made this for his wife, keeping in mind the effect of skincare ingredients on a growing baby and mom), and the minimal ingredients.
I would definitely suggest this to anyone, not just pregnant women, who would like a little simple, at home pampering and is looking for a product to nourish stressed skin...I really like the gentle softness it gave my somewhat dry and very sensitive skin- my clothes slipped on without the wet grabbing that a not totally absorbed lotion can give...This absorbed so quickly that I was not greasy at all once I finished putting on my facial moisturizer and went to put my clothes on...
Also, if you do not like lavender at all, you might want to steer clear of this...The lavender smells like a Bulgarian Lavender (more clean, fresh, and light and not perfumey) and it does fade shortly after application, but if one has a sensitive nose (as is common in pregnancy) perhaps an unscented preparation would be best....
I liked this best after a shower...It's easiest (for me) to incorporate this sort of thing in my regular routine...

Belli Takes the Worry out of Pregnancy Skincare The last thing any expectant mother wants to worry about is her skin. As a mom-to-be, pregnancy should be a time for excitement, not a time for agonizing about the challenges of a changing body. Luckily, Belli has taken the worry out of pregnancy skincare by creating a complete line of products that are specially formulated to address your needs as an expectant mom, especially the need to know that you are making the healthiest choices for your baby. Proven Protection Against Stretch marks During the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy, your uterus will grow rapidly, stretching the skin over your abdomen. This rapid growth may tear your skin's inner connective tissues, resulting in stretch marks on your belly. Normal pregnancy growth may also increase fat deposits in your breasts, hips, thighs, and buttocks, and may result in scarring of those areas. Affecting 90 percent of all women, stretch marks may seem like an unavoidable part of motherhood, but luckily there are things you can you can do to minimize your risk. Published research on stretch mark prevention shows that a combination of Gotu Kola extract, Vitamin E, and Collagen Hydrolysates decreases the risk of acquiring stretch marks by about 39 percent and decreases the severity of any stretch marks that do form. All of these ingredients can be found in Belli Pregnancy's Elasticity Belly Oil, along with the relaxing aromas of lavender and almond oil. Pampering for Mom, Protection for Baby While many topical ingredients are thought to be safe during pregnancy, a large number are linked to harmful effects that occur after repeated or high exposures. Some examples include Vitamin A, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, certain sunscreens, and even aloe vera. While your skin blocks many skin care ingredients from entering your body, small amounts of some ingredients are still absorbed into your bloodstream. Once there, they can cross the placenta and reach your growing baby. This is why Belli screens each ingredient to exclude chemicals that have been linked to birth defects and pregnancy-related problems. As the only line in the world to do so, Belli also allergy tests all of its products and ensures they are free of synthetic dyes, phthalates, and paraben preservatives.
