I'm always amazed at the plethora of blog posts I find on the web relating to preventing or reducing stretch marks.What concerns me is how many products are not recommended for use during pregnancy. As our loyal Belli Moms already know, Belli is the only brand in the world that screens for teratogens: ingredients linked to birth defects. There are dozens of stretch mark prevention products out there-that contain potentially harmful ingredients.

Belli's Elasticity Belly Oil is our "hero" product. Not only is it 100% free of teratogens, phthalates, artificial dyes, artificial fragrance and paraben preservatives. It will also reduce your chance of getting stretch marks by 39%, this is the best clinical result you'll find! It's not earth-shattering, but it's realistic. In addition, our Elasticity Belly Oil is a great hydrator. I personally like to mix it with our Skin Smoothing Body Exfoliator for a great spa-quality dry-rub.

There's a reason we're the #1 OB/GYN recommended brand-we're the experts in safety.
