Hi friends! I am so excited to finally share with you a side project that I’ve been working on for the past six months with my husband, on this next chapter for Birth to Life Doula Services. Through countless hours of research, extensive discussions and feedback from my past doula families, friends, and my own family, today, we are officially launching the Birth to Life Postpartum Recovery Collection!

This collection includes a range of postpartum recovery products designed to support new mothers in their postpartum recovery journey for all types of birth. As a birth and postpartum doula, I’ve recommended various types of products in the past, and as a mother myself, I developed quite a high standard when it comes to postpartum care products (especially in my own postpartum recovery journey) – so we thought, why not cut through the guesswork of what products would be useful, and create our own product line instead? So here we are!

The creation of this collection stems from my desire to offer products that are not only effective but also crafted with clean, natural and organic ingredients, ensuring the best possible recovery for new mamas. My passion for supporting mothers on their postpartum journey has been the driving force behind these products. It is an honour to share this labour of love (pun intended!) with you and to accompany you on your remarkable journey into motherhood.

Here’s a rundown of the Birth to Life Postpartum Recovery Collection:

Naturally Nourishing Belly Butter

One significant change that comes with childbirth is the transformation of the skin. For many new mothers, stretch marks and scars may be a concern, but they are the tiger stripes that are living proof of you bringing your baby into this world.
My Naturally Nourishing Belly Butter is designed to revitalize your post-birth skin. Formulated with enriching ingredients like cocoa butter and vitamin E, it aims to hydrate, diminish stretch marks and scars, and help restore the natural vitality of your skin.

This product is created with your delicate recovery period in mind. It is free from harsh chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, and SLS, ensuring a safe and nurturing experience. It incorporates natural ingredients like squalane, soluble collagen, and hydrocotyle extract. These components are key in providing intensive moisturization and skin repair, fostering a postpartum care experience that leaves you feeling rejuvenated and confident.

Soothing and Cooling Relief with Witch Hazel Perineal Spray

Post-birth perineal discomfort, particularly in the tender perineal area after a vaginal birth or from potential tearing, can be challenging for new mothers. To address this, our Perineal Spray is specifically formulated to provide soothing and cooling relief during your postpartum recovery. This gentle spray combines witch hazel, hyaluronic acid, coix seed extract, Job’s Tears extract, and is alcohol-free, offering delicate care for the sensitive perineal area.

These natural and organic extracts aid in gentle healing and moisturization, promoting overall skin health. The spray is convenient and easy to use, allowing for effortless application. You can keep it at room temperature or in the refrigerator, then spray on a maternity pad for an extra cooling effect.

Promoting Healing and Relaxation with Lavender Recovery Oil

Postpartum healing is a journey that requires gentle and effective care. Our Lavender Recovery Oil is infused with a blend of organic and cold-pressed ingredients like jojoba oil, evening primrose oil, and chamomile, which makes it ideal for hydrating delicate postpartum skin, and the presence of lavender oil aims in calming and relaxation.

This non-greasy oil provides gentle healing and relaxation, making it perfect for moments when you need a bit of extra self-care. Designed with sensitivity in mind, it is safe to be used all over the body, and even for delicate C-section scars once the main incision is fully healed.

Embracing Natural Healing with Healing Soaps

In addition to the core postpartum recovery products, I am excited to offer our Healing Soaps as part of your post-birth care routine. These soaps are specifically designed to provide soothing care after childbirth. With a range of scents like Tea Tree Oil, Lavender, Aloe Vera, and Bamboo Charcoal, each soap offers unique benefits for your postpartum recovery.

Our soaps are formulated with olive oil and glycerin, which provide deep hydration and promotes healthy skin recovery, without irritating the sensitive postpartum skin, offering a soothing experience suitable for new mothers. Additionally, my commitment to sustainability is reflected in the use of responsibly sourced palm kernel and palm oil in our soaps, ensuring that the products are not only effective but also environmentally considerate.
