7 Pregnancy-Safe Belly & Body Oils (2025)
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
While pregnancy is a beautiful experience, it also demands a lot from our bodies—our skin rapidly expands, we go through bouts of itchiness, and that general feeling of “tightness” becomes an everyday symptom. But instead of suffering, we can turn to a good belly oil to help calm and soothe our skin. Belly oils are made with pregnancy in mind, unlike most body oils, which don’t account for the specific conditions unique to pregnancy.
Why use belly oil during pregnancy?
Using belly oil during pregnancy is not just about hydration—it’s about protecting both you and your growing baby with the safest, cleanest ingredients possible. As your skin stretches and becomes more absorbent, what you apply topically matters more than ever. That’s why choosing a nontoxic, clean belly oil is so essential.
We love these belly oil brands that are free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, and other harsh chemicals — clean formulations nourish our skin without exposing us or our baby to unnecessary toxins, after all! The below brands also offer rich natural oils and botanical extracts to support skin elasticity while offering peace of mind, and since pregnancy is a time of heightened awareness and care, we want our skincare to reflect that—pure, purposeful, and safe for every stage of the journey.
Our criteria:
Our team of moms has used, researched, and reviewed clean beauty and skincare specific to pregnancy for years. These are our favorite organic belly oils that use natural ingredients and are super moisturizing. Even those with sensitive skin will find options on this list. We regularly update our guide with new picks that meet the criteria below.
- MOISTURIZING | We’ve personally used these brands and found that their formulas are super hydrating and never harmful to us or our growing babies.
- ORGANIC | We’ve selected options that use organic ingredients so you can be sure nothing was treated with harmful chemicals at any point in the process.
- NATURAL INGREDIENTS | These brands use natural ingredients while avoiding parabens, phthalates, or artificial fragrance.

1. Hatch
Best For | Quick-drying belly oil
Natural & Organic Ingredients | Sweet almond, grapefruit, & jojoba seed oils, calendula, rosemary extract, rosehip oil
Hatch’s natural skincare products are plant-derived, vegan, and free of parabens, dyes, and synthetic fragrances. The Belly Oil in particular has a whopping seven plant- and seed-based oils, including sweet almond oil for Vitamin E, antioxidant-rich grapefruit oil, and hydrating jojoba seed oil. Whether you use it on your own belly or your baby’s, we love how it effortlessly soaks into the skin without any greasy residue. Between the lightweight natural formula and the comforting scent, we can see why this is an expecting parent’s favorite.

Tubby Todd’s Belly Oil is like a daily love note to your bump—hydrating, soothing, and totally clean.

Plus, it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin, so you can lather up with zero worries and all the glow.
3. OSEA
Best For | Belly & body oil
Natural & Organic Ingredients | Undaria seaweed, sunflower, grapefruit, & sesame oils, rice bran extract, sunflower extract
OSEA’s Undaria Algae Body Oil is an all-time favorite on The Good Trade team—and it can be used throughout pregnancy as well. Clinically proven to improve elasticity and retain moisture, this best-selling oil is perfect for your belly as your skin expands (as well as the rest of your body!). It smells heavenly yet subtle, is rich without being too heavy, and can be used on dry or damp skin. While we’re pro-stretch marks, if that’s a concern to you, some reviews praise the oil’s ability to reduce scars and stretch marks across the body. (And did we mention that purchases at OSEA are climate-neutral and cruelty-free? A win-win for everyone.) Read our full Osea review here.
4. Natalist
Best For | Hydrating belly oil that minimizes itchy skin
Natural & Organic Ingredients | Organic argan oil, organic shea butter, organic coconut oil, organic olive oil
For a hydrating and dewy oil that’s formulated to soothe your growing belly each step of the way, Natalist’s formula shines (literally). Made with simple and wholesome ingredients in the USA, this oil will leave your skin feeling smooth and supple while helping improve skin elasticity. Besides keeping your skin nourished, Natalist is at the forefront of producing quality products that are sustainable, ethically made and free of toxins and other harmful ingredients. This oil is vegan and made in a cruelty-free facility with absolutely no parabens, phthalates, dyes, or petroleum. We almost forgot to mention they are 100% plastic neutral. We’re sold!
5. Mother Mother
Best For | Face & belly oil
Natural & Organic Ingredients | Cranberry seed, pomegranate, marula, borage, & baobab oils, calendula extract
If you’re tired of getting one pregnancy-safe oil for your face and another for your body, you’re in luck: Mother Mother’s Face + Belly Oil is the two-in-one you’ve been looking for. Safe enough to use across your skin, this “everything” oil is made for expecting and new parents in mind, and at a price that won’t break the bank. Derived from 11 deeply nourishing oils—think sunflower seed and neroli oils—this blend will nourish and hydrate your skin (or your little one’s) without any greasiness or stains. Just a couple of drops from boobs to belly will go a long way here.
6. Ingrid + Isabel
Best For | EWG-verified blend belly oil
Natural & Organic | Apricot kernel oil, organic marshmallow root, organic calendula, organic rosehip, lavender, & chamomile, rose absolute
Price | $35 for 4 oz.
Ingrid + Isabel has long been made with moms and babies in mind—even the name is a testament to the mother-daughter relationship (Isabel is Ingrid’s daughter!). Verified by the Environmental Working Group for safety, the brand’s belly oil is about as safe and sustainable as you can get. Instead of worrying about whether your products contain chemicals that could harm your growing baby, you can indulge with this formula chock-full of responsibly sourced and organic ingredients. In fact, there are only seven ingredients overall (listed above), so you won’t find any fillers or fake preservatives here. Address every concern from itchiness to tightness in this magical belly oil.
7. Zoe Organics
Best For | Organic belly butter
Natural & Organic Ingredients | Organic shea butter, organic coconut, rosehip, & avocado oils, rosemary & calendula extract, essential oils
If you’re not a fan of belly oil, you may love Zoe Organics’ Belly Butter instead (though the brand does offer a Belly Oil as well). Formulated of 100 percent organic ingredients, this concentrated and waterless blend can be used from pregnancy through postpartum as a hydrating treatment. If you’re open to scents, this one smells divine thanks to the ylang ylang and sandalwood essential oils—sensual and soothing but not overbearing. If you decide to pair the belly oil and butter together, the team recommends the belly oil first and the butter after. A calming and conscious ritual for every stage of pregnancy.
