You may be able to continue using the products again after birth when your hormones and skin settle down again.

The oils in the rose collection are all listed to be safe during pregnancy. Every womens pregnancy, symptoms, and potential risks are unique, and your doctor should be your first resource for questions about essential oils use, other ingredients , and all pregnancy related questions or concerns.
