Mom in the City

Recently, there have been reports finding that phthalates (a commonly used cosmetic ingredient) can be damaging to the ongoing development of a baby’s reproductive system when applied topically in skincare products.

That’s why I’m excited to introduce you to Belli Skincare’s new Belli Baby line for pregnant women, new moms and babies.  The line is 100% free of phthalates and other harmful ingredients.

The line includes baby wash Calm Me Hair & Body Wash ($18), Nourish  Me Enriched Body Lotion ($19), Pamper Me Talc-Free Powder ($14),  Protect Me Diaper Rash Cream ($12) and a three-piece Gift Set ($32).  First of all, I love the packaging with its old-fashioned images.  I also like that the products are pediatrician-recommended. The scents and textures are also great.

Belli also offers a Belli Pregnancy line.  Since my pregnancy days are over, I’m going to gift their elegantly packaged acne clearing facial wash ($22) and their bestselling Elasticity Belly Oil ($42) to one of my pregnant friends.
