We’re overjoyed that our founder and CEO, Miranda, and her husband, Evan, are expecting their fourth child.
As a busy mother to three boys Miranda has proudly used, and continues to use the KORA Organics range for her face, and body care, during each pregnancy.
We’ve shared the daily rituals she uses to maintain her balance as her fourth baby grows.
Miranda’s Pregnancy Rituals
The Belly Facial
We call it a facial for your belly, as this twice daily ritual adds supreme hydration to prevent stretch marks as the baby grows.
ONE | Exfoliate
Turmeric Body Scrub
It’s important to exfoliate the skin on your body at least once a week. The act of detoxifying your skin best readies it to absorb the following layers of hydration and moisture.
If you’re a fan of our famed Turmeric Brightening & Exfoliating Mask for the face, you will adore this blend for the body.
Our divinely-scented shower scrub uses a blend of soothing bio-actives and natural exfoliators like Turmeric and Rosehip to polish away dead skin cells and impurities. It does this without disrupting the skin’s natural barrier, to leave behind soft, refined + glowing skin.
The fusion of botanicals + Peppermint Essential Oil instantly revitalizes your skin, and your senses.
TWO | Moisturize
Nourishing Hand and Body Lotion
To best support the skin on your bump, it’s vital to keep it hydrated. Nourish your expanding skin with water-based ingredients to lock in hydration and retain water each day.
While body lotions provide instant hydration, body oils provide long-lasting moisture with a vitamin-enriched bonus. You need both for healthy and efficacious bump care.
This gentle yet deeply hydrating formula is suited for all skin types and scented with Rose, Geranium, and Basil for gentle aromatherapy. Energized with Aquamarine and Rose Quartz crystals, they help to carry a calming vibration and encourage love and acceptance of ourselves and others.
THREE | Oil
Noni Glow Body Oil
The final level of moisture seals in the previously-applied body lotion and adds superior protection for the skin.
Lock in your glow with our lightweight yet ultra-nourishing body oil to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. It acts as a seal to nurture your skins’ barrier—gifting you with further protection as you grow, by packing in the moisture.
This fast-absorbing blend contains a rich source of essential fatty acids, Rosehip and Sunflower Seed Oil, to leave your skin feeling softer and smoother without the greasy feel.
Massage our body oil into your skin with upward strokes, and with love, gratitude and appreciation for your body, as it nourishes you, and your baby. You might like to try this Body Love Meditation.
Applying once a day is beneficial, yet applying AM + PM gives the ultimate skin support against stretch marks.
The Nausea Busters
All Things Peppermint
There are countless aromatherapeutic benefits from using essential oils, and Miranda’s favorite is Peppermint to stop nausea in its tracks.
You can emanate this ritual by breathing in deeply while using either our Turmeric Glow Foaming Cleanser and Minty Mineral Hydration Mist—both contain Peppermint Oil—to help with the effects of morning sickness.
You can use the mist regularly throughout the day to help stop nausea and refresh your skin while expecting.
The Face Care Regimen
Retinol Alternative Duo
While Miranda continues to use our full skincare line while pregnant and nursing, there are some additions to her routine with baby #4.
They include our Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Serum + Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Moisturizer—both provide plant-powered aging support that’s gentle enough for twice daily use.
Hailing from Ayurvedic medicine, Bakuchiol provides similar qualities to retinol without being a Vitamin A derivative. This natural retinol alternative is a magnet for expecting and nursing mothers as they shift towards safer Vitamin A free options!
