Have a body cream with shea butter that i use daily and now im second guessing everything since i got pregnant. Is it ok to keep using na? dont want to put anything that could be a problem.
Yes, shea butter is just a natural moisturiser, totally fine on skin during pregnancy. I used it both times for my belly. Just check the product has no extra strong fragrances or random actives mixed in.
Topically shea butter is considered safe in pregnancy. It's nourishing and helps with dryness and itching. If it's a combo product with essential oils, just run the label by your gynac to be sure.
Haan yaar shea butter is safe, actually quite good for the stretchy itchy belly skin. I alternated it with coconut oil. Bas plain wala use karo, flavoured fancy ones ki zaroorat nahi.
Shea butter is natural and I prefer it over fancy creams. Used it daily, no issues. Only thing, do a patch test on arm first because pregnancy skin can react oddly, and ask doc if you get any rash.
