Is Mamave safe to use during pregnancy?+
Yes — every Mamave formula is designed to be pregnancy-safe. Products are developed by a cosmetic chemist who understands pregnancy skin, and avoid retinoids, parabens and synthetic fragrance. If you have specific medical concerns, we always recommend checking with your healthcare professional.
Can I use Mamave products on my newborn?+
The Bubba range is formulated for babies and young children — pH-balanced for baby skin, with gentle coconut-based cleansers and calming botanicals like calendula, aloe vera and chamomile. One range, head to toe.
Is ‘natural’ skincare the same as pregnancy-safe?+
No — and that's why Mamave exists. Natural doesn't automatically mean safe for pregnancy or for newborn skin. Mamave goes beyond traditional natural skincare: each product is developed using cosmetic science to support delicate skin at every stage, from pregnancy through to newborn care.
Which skincare ingredients should I avoid while pregnant?+
The ingredients most commonly avoided during pregnancy are retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), parabens and synthetic fragrance. Every Mamave formula leaves all three out, so you never have to decode a label — and if you're unsure about a product from another brand, your healthcare professional can advise.
Mumma's Oil vs Mumma's Moisturiser — which do I need?+
Mumma's Oil is a concentrated massage oil for supporting skin elasticity and the appearance of stretch marks — massaged into the bump, hips and thighs up to three times a day. Mumma's Moisturiser is a daily cream with vitamin C-rich pomegranate and cranberry extracts for everyday hydration. Many mums use both: oil first, moisturiser to seal it in.
What helps protect against nappy rash?+
Bubba's Barrier Cream. Apply a thick layer to your baby's bottom or other rash-affected areas — its zinc oxide formula creates a breathable barrier between a wet nappy and delicate skin, protecting against moisture and irritation from rubbing.
