Pregnancy Safe Perfumes

Smell intoxicating, not toxic. Freshen up with natural aromas, rather than human-made chemicals. Boost your confidence anytime you walk into a room by using pregnancy-safe scents. Go natural with these aromatic upgrades!

 

Can I Use Perfume During Pregnancy?

Before you bathe your body with perfume, proceed with caution. Your sense of smell can be heightened during this exciting time.

Strong scents can also promote an upset stomach, especially during morning sickness [1]. Hydrate with filtered water and sip on herbal peppermint tea to help soothe any nausea. 

Let's Play Name That Fragrance!

Let's play a game. And no, this one won't be a 24-hour marathon like Monopoly!

Think about your favorite perfume. 

Imagine the scent. Close your eyes and smell it. 

How would you describe that fragrance?

Is it fresh and florally like a field of flowers? How about a zesty bite of citrus? Perhaps there's a sweet undertone of vanilla? Yet, none of these ingredients are ever used! 

Instead, the ingredients list would probably say:

  • Fragrance

  • Parfum

  • Perfume

  • Natural Scent

Have you ever smelled a flower and an orange? It's not the same “fragrance.” 

So, how are they classified as the same ingredient? And why is that ingredient named something as generic as "fragrance?"

What’s That Smell?

Knowing what is in your personal products can help you make healthier decisions for you and your baby. We don’t know all of the ingredients used to make fragrances. However, we do know that many companies use phthalates [2]. 

These plastic chemicals have been linked to issues with children, including hyperactivity, IQ, and brain development [3]. Preserve your child’s future by ditching unnatural preservatives like phthalates. 

Upgrade your beauty routine. Choose natural beauty ingredients you can trust.
