Weleda: Perineum Massage Oil (50ml)

Weleda Perineum Massage Oil gently cares and increases skin elasticity and resilience through regular massages supporting childbirth.

Most women want to give birth without an episiotomy. Preparation for birth, which also includes targeted loosening of the perineal tissue, increases the chance of this. The sensitive skin in the birth area needs specific massages to gain elasticity and flexibility and regular massages can help to reduce the risk of perineal tear and episiotomy.

Weleda Perineum Massage Oil is a 100% natural mild composition, based on delicate, smoothing sweet almond oil. Combined with organic sesame and jojoba oil and vitamin E rich wheatgerm oil, it is especially formulated for massages which help the perineum to become more flexible and relaxed.

The delicate floral fragrance of natural clary sage, geranium and rose helps to boost your strength and confidence.

Benefits:

• Ideal for massages to prepare skin in birth area
• 100% natural
• Skin tolerance dermatologically proven, even on sensitive skin.
• Developed with pharmacists and midwives
• Vegan friendly
