Can I use Eminence while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes, almost all Eminence Organics products are considered suitable during pregnancy and post-pregnancy.
Always consult your physician to determine which ingredients may be suitable for use during your pregnancy as each individual is unique.
Products for Dry, Red, Irritated Skin
For some expecting mothers, their skin fails to achieve the desired pregnancy glow and instead becomes dry and sensitive. Hormone fluctuations may cause the face to become dry, losing moisture and oil, which can cause the skin to feel itchy, red, and irritated.
Try using a mild Eminence face wash or Eminence cream to gently cleanse and hydrate without stripping the skin, while helping support moisture and soothe visible dryness and irritation.

Products for Itchy Stretch Marks
When your baby starts to show, the skin surrounding your tummy stretches, resulting in stretch marks. While these tiger stripe-like scars do not appear in everyone, however fluctuating hormone levels seem to have a role. If you have a family history of stretch marks, you may be at a higher risk. This stretching of the skin may be extremely irritating, tight, and painful, in addition to how it looks.
Hydrating the skin is one of the most effective strategies to relieve stretch marks. Drink lots of water and use rich, moisturizing Eminence body oil or Eminence body lotion on your stomach area to keep your skin in good health.

Products for Nausea & Poor Sleep
Expect a lasting sense of nausea, as well as changes in attitude and sleep habits, while you're expecting. Essential oils and herbs are a safe and natural way to deal with all of these problems and more. Some essential oils are safe to use in the second and third trimesters, as your baby is more developed. Lavender, chamomile, and ylang ylang are some of the oils that can help to quiet the mind, relax the body, and aid in sleep.
Please with your doctor before using aromatherapy at home while pregnant, as with all of our suggestions. Because pregnancy symptoms and sensitivities differ from person to person, it's critical to be safe at all times.
Aromatherapy may be easily and mildly incorporated into daily life by applying an Eminence toner or Eminence serum.

Products for Hormonal Acne
Hormonal acne is aggravating to deal with since it changes throughout pregnancy, as well as after delivery and nursing. The "pregnancy hormones" HCG and progesterone increase the amount of oil glands in your face during pregnancy. While this gives you that lovely "pregnancy glow," the extra oil can clog your pores, causing hormonal outbreaks. Furthermore, oestrogen levels decline and testosterone levels rise after childbirth, which can result in numerous pimples as the body tries to balance itself.
