Pregnancy changes everything — especially your skin. For many women, the products they’ve used for years suddenly become off-limits: full of ingredients that aren’t recommended during pregnancy, fragrances that cause nausea, or preservatives linked to hormone disruption.
At Tau Tau Skin, we built our entire skincare line to be safe enough for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and newborn care. And we didn’t do it because it was trendy. We did it because we were pregnant, too — and couldn’t find anything we actually trusted.
🤰 Why Most Skincare Isn’t Safe for Pregnancy
The majority of skincare brands on the shelf — even ones marketed as “natural” — still contain:
-
Fragrance (often a chemical blend labeled as “natural scent”)
-
Retinoids or strong exfoliants that can be unsafe for fetal development
-
Preservatives like parabens or phenoxyethanol linked to hormone disruption
-
Essential oils that may interfere with early pregnancy or cause allergic reactions
-
Drying alcohols that can irritate sensitive, hormonal skin
When you’re growing a baby, these risks aren’t worth taking — especially when your skin is already more reactive, dry, or prone to stretch marks, rashes, and itchiness.
✅ What Makes Tau Tau Skin the Safest Choice
We formulated our balms and butters with one clear goal: would we use this on our pregnant bellies, our babies, and our own healing skin?
The answer is yes. Here’s why:
1. No water = no preservatives
Water-based products require preservatives. Our balms are completely water-free, which means we don’t need harsh chemical stabilizers. Just whole, functional ingredients your skin can recognize and use.
2. Tallow-based = bioavailable, nutrient-rich
Grass-fed tallow contains natural forms of vitamins A, D, E, and K — all vital for skin elasticity, repair, and barrier health. Tallow mimics human sebum, which makes it incredibly effective and gentle.
3. Safe for belly, breasts, baby — and beyond
From itchy pregnant bellies to postpartum skin recovery and nipple barrier support, our formulas are safe to use everywhere. And they’re gentle enough to apply to your newborn immediately after birth.
