I AM MOTHER™ Belly Oil – Biomimetic Lipid Support for Stretching Skin

I AM MOTHER™ Belly Oil – Biomimetic Lipid Support for Stretching Skin

Product Description

Designed to support skin during pregnancy.

I AM MOTHER™ Belly Oil is a lightweight, biomimetic oil blend formulated to support the skin as it stretches and adapts throughout pregnancy. Made with three clinically relevant botanical lipids that closely resemble the skin’s natural composition, this formula helps maintain elasticity, hydration, and barrier integrity—without added fragrance or unnecessary ingredients.

Why this formula works

During pregnancy, skin undergoes mechanical stretching that can disrupt the lipid barrier, increase water loss, and reduce skin comfort. This formula focuses on replenishing essential lipids, supporting elasticity, and maintaining barrier function using ingredients that are structurally compatible with human skin.

Key Ingredients & Skin Science

Squalane (from sugarcane)

A highly stable, skin-identical lipid naturally present in human sebum.

• Mimics natural skin lipids

• Helps reinforce the skin barrier

• Reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL)

• Improves skin flexibility and softness

• Lightweight, non-greasy, and fast-absorbing

Why it matters:
Squalane supports the skin’s ability to remain flexible under mechanical stress, making it especially suitable for stretching skin.

Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis)

A liquid wax ester composed primarily of long-chain fatty acids and fatty alcohols.

• Structurally similar to human sebum

• Rich in eicosenoic acid (omega-9)

• Helps regulate moisture balance

• Supports barrier stability without clogging pores

• Improves skin suppleness and comfort

Why it matters:
Because jojoba closely mimics natural skin oils, it integrates seamlessly into the skin barrier, helping maintain hydration during rapid skin changes.

Argan Oil (Argania spinosa kernel oil)

A nutrient-dense oil naturally rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants.

• High in oleic acid (omega-9) and linoleic acid (omega-6)

• Naturally contains vitamin E (tocopherols)

• Supports skin elasticity and resilience

• Helps soften dry, tight-feeling skin

• Provides antioxidant support for stressed skin

Why it matters:
Essential fatty acids and vitamin E play a role in maintaining skin flexibility and comfort, especially when skin is under repeated stretching.
