Mommy Goes Green

Belli Skin Care is all about mothers.  They carry a line of skin care products specifically designed for pregnancy, motherhood and babies.  The founder, a medical doctor, was concerned about chemical absorption through the skin so he designed the line for his (then) pregnant wife so she would have safe products.    Belli Pregnancy products are screened for any ingredient that has been linked to birth defects, using a technology called teratology which searches through 16,000 medical research articles.  The Belli Motherhood collection is screened through LactMed to help exclude any ingredient that may have harmful effects while breastfeeding.

While the Belli line is not exclusively organic, Belli does purchase from organic farmers when a natural ingredient is needed and the entire Belli line is paraben and phthalate free.  The Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database only has 4 of the Belli products in it, rated from 1 to 3.  From looking at the ingredients in some of the other products, I can see a few that are rated higher such as lactic acid and phenoxyethanol.  For answers to other questions about the ingredients Belli uses, check out Dr. Rubin’s FAQ.

I’ve been using the Belli Facial Suncreen with SPF 25 and I have to say that I’m loving it.  It’s super lightweight with just a hint of tint to even out skin tone.  I can’t even tell I’m wearing it.  If they removed the phenoxyethanol, the product would be near perfect!
