True aromatherapy is an ancient healing tradition that uses concentrated plant essences, known as essential oils, in carefully blended combinations and proportions. These gifts of nature add the purest forms of fragrance to beauty products, but also lend subtle yet powerful benefits to the body and the spirit. Some essential oils have a calming effect, others uplifting; some soothe, heal, or contribute to soft, healthy skin. The essential oils in Bella Mama skin care products have been chosen for these benefits, as well as for safety and effectiveness in pregnancy.

Bella Mama products contain Oshadhi pure essential oils, imported from Germany, where aromatherapy is a respected science and art. These exquisite, professional-quality pure essential oils are made from organically grown or wildcrafted plants, with no chemical additives or thinners. Bella Mama blends Oshadhi oils in bases of vibrant, cosmetic-quality natural plant oils, such as borage, rose hip seed, jojoba, hazelnut and sunflower, which nourish and soften the skin. Finally, we add botanical herbs to calm the skin, promote healing, reduce inflammation, and prevent scarring.

A few words about Preservatives. Bella Mama is committed to natural ingredients as well as to the long-term safety and effectiveness of our products. Water-based personal care products, such as Bella Mama Rejuvenating Face & Body Spritzer and Healing Sitz Bath, require some preservative action to maintain freshness and quality at room temperature and to prevent microbial growth. We use an extremely gentle and safe preservative, derived from natural amino acids, to keep Bella Mama's water-based products completely usable and enjoyable over time.
