#MadeinSingapore: Pregnancy-friendly Beauty Products Every Mom Should Know

Editor’s note: The products listed below are claimed safe for both pregnant and breastfeeding women. However, we recommend checking with your doctor or OB/GYN before purchasing.

As a mother, looking at your newborn nap in your arms is one of the most wonderful things in the world. But we also believe that despite being a busy mom, you shouldn’t forget that your skin also needs that extra oomph!

The list of skincare products made with natural ingredients is endless. You can choose whether you prefer luxury brands or those items available in your local drugstore.

Proudly made in Singapore, here are some of the best personal care and treatment products for you and your little ones.

A For Apothecary

The wonderful story behind A For Apothecary was inspired by a mom’s love for her son upon learning that the child has cheek eczema. Founder of A For Apothecary, Jingyi, shared that organic coconut oil helped reduce her son’s skin condition at that time. That’s why she decided to formulate her own personal care items using natural botanical oils and extracts, giving birth to her first product – the original Baby Balm.

At present, A For Apothecary produces pregnancy-friendly beauty products that are plant-based and ideal for sensitive skin. With the use of traditional apothecary and modern science, they come up with the best baby and mom care collection to accompany moms in their parenthood journey.

Some of their must-haves are baby massage oil, natural coconut lip balm, anti-stretch mark oil, oat bath soak, and many more.

FrankSkincare

Established in 2015, FrankSkincare formulates pregnancy-friendly beauty products that are 100% organic, non- GMO (Genetic Modified Organism), and cruelty-free approved by the Australian Certified Organic (ACO).

All products are produced and packaged in the “urban sunny island” of Singapore. To ensure the quality and freshness of products, FrankSkincare avoids mass-produced items and focuses on manufacturing small batches of skincare solutions.

Aside from providing healthy and radiant skin to everyone, the skincare brand also shows care for nature by using recycled or recyclable packaging materials.

Soon-to-be mums can safely use FrankSkincare’s face mist to rejuvenate tired skin, essential oil to avoid hormonal pregnancy skin problems, and cleansing oil for deep pore cleansing.
