Pregnancy Stretch Mark Oil for Firmer, Nourished Skin

Shesha Ayurveda stretch mark oil is Dhanwantaram Thailam, a classical Ayurvedic pre and post-natal massage oil. Made with a sesame oil base, Vitamin E and more than 50 herbs including Manjistha, Ashwagandha and Shatavari, it helps keep stretching skin supple and helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks. It also soothes the muscle aches and swelling that come with pregnancy. Authentic Ayurveda from God's Own Country, Kerala. Please consult your doctor before use during pregnancy.

What Is a Pregnancy Stretch Mark Oil?

It is a nourishing body oil massaged into the belly, hips and thighs to keep skin supple as it stretches. Dhanwantaram Thailam is a classical Kerala formulation used both before and after delivery, so it works through the whole pregnancy journey. Oils give deeper nourishment than lotions for the dry, itchy, stretching skin of pregnancy.

Ingredients in the Oil

• Sesame oil forms the deeply nourishing base.
• Manjistha is a classic Ayurvedic herb for the skin.
• Ashwagandha and Shatavari are traditional strengthening herbs.
• Vitamin E supports supple, nourished skin.

It is free from parabens, SLS, mineral oil and artificial fragrance.

Benefits of Using a Pregnancy Stretch Mark Oil

Used early and consistently, it supports your skin through pregnancy and after.

• Helps improve skin elasticity as the belly grows.
• Helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks over time.
• Keeps stretching skin nourished and supple.
• Soothes pregnancy muscle cramps, numbness and swelling.
• Supports postpartum skin recovery after delivery.

When Should You Start Using It?

Most women start in the second trimester, around the 6th month, when the skin stretches the most. Starting early and staying consistent gives the skin the best support. Every pregnancy is different, so check with your doctor on the right time to begin for you.

How Do You Apply Stretch Mark Oil?

Massage it in gently, ideally after a shower when the skin is still a little damp.

1. Warm a small amount of oil in your palms.

2. Massage it into the belly, hips, thighs and lower back in slow, circular motions.

3. Use it once or twice a day, morning or night.

4. Keep massaging until the oil absorbs, which also helps circulation.

5. Patch test first, and check with your doctor before you start.

What to Realistically Expect

No oil erases stretch marks, and it is honest to say so. What a good oil does is help improve skin elasticity and help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, especially when used early and consistently. Keeping the skin nourished and supple as it stretches is the realistic goal, not making existing marks disappear.
