our vision
Safe + simple pregnancy skincare
Whether you’re starting your fertility journey or a Mum of three, our mission is to transform the complex world of pregnancy-safe skincare.
At Expecting Skincare we’re on a mission to challenge the confusing world of pregnancy skincare. We’re a team of passionate individuals and specalists who are committed to making a difference. Our goal is to provide clear information on what ingredients are pregnancy-safe or not.
We also don't want you to have to overhaul your entire routine by switching to only pregnancy-safe products. Not only is it an unnecessary expense, but it adds to the waste epidemic we see across the skincare industry.
Our mantra:
Just because you're pregnant, your skincare routine doesn't have to become as boring as a dry rice cracker.

we donate 5% of all profits to
pandas charity
Many parents experience postnatal depression (PND) within a year after having a baby — regardless of whether they have previously suffered from a mental health condition. As a charity close to our hearts, we want to help support women and men navigating the challenge of perinatal mental illness and helping offer hope for new parents.
