Product Reviews by Experts
The amount of serum that comes out in the first pump is impressive, most products you’ll need to pump a few times to get quite a bit of product out but not with this one. It glides on the skin smoothly and smells great. I found that the product helps with the stretch sensation on my belly. I found the statement about feeding waste from the herbal infusion method to chickens at home really impressive because it reflects a genuine commitment to sustainability on a practical, everyday level. It shows that the brand isn’t just using eco-friendly language, they’re actually living it. Repurposing what would normally be considered waste into something useful, demonstrates a thoughtful and holistic approach to reducing environmental impact which you don’t get in a lot of businesses these days!
I really like using this at night time before bed as I can nourish/ soothe the bump before resting with a product that absorbs so well. My favourite thing about this serum is how well it absorbs and doesn’t leave me feeling sticky or greasy. Nothing worse than having your clothes stick to you after using a skin product! Such a refreshing feel and smells lovely too. I really like that the products are organic, natural and safe for pregnant mama’s. I think it’s also so great that this product comes from a family owned business who also donates and gives back to the community in multiple ways.
The texture of this serum is really lovely. It glides on easily and absorbs well into the skin without feeling heavy or sticky. This brand really lives and breathes sustainability. I love that they use glass bottles with a return program, plastic-free postal packaging and repurpose their herbal infusion waste by feeding it to chickens. They clearly think about the entire lifecycle of their products and have strong sourcing practices for organic, fair-trade ingredients. Their support for women-led businesses and local giving makes their impact feel genuinely community focused and rooted in care.
