Stretch marks typically appear on the stomach, breasts, and hips during the third trimester as collagen and elastin fibers stretch beyond their capacity. To support skin elasticity and minimize stretch marks, we recommend regular self-massage with:

• SMOOTH Body Balm – A deeply nourishing blend with avocado & meadowfoam seed oil to deliver vitamins A & E, promoting collagen production and skin elasticity. Essential oils of palmarosa, cypress & geranium further enhance circulation and cell regeneration.

• REPLENISH Body Oil – A fast-absorbing, antioxidant-rich formula featuring passionfruit seed oil, a natural source of vitamin C that boosts collagen, supports skin repair, and enhances radiance.

• NURTURE Balm – A deeply reparative balm infused with pumpkin seed and sea buckthorn oils, known for their omega fatty acids and regenerative properties to strengthen the skin barrier and promote elasticity.

Used consistently, these products nourish and fortify the skin both during and after pregnancy, helping it recover postpartum.

Addressing Melasma & Uneven Skin Tone

Melasma, often called the “mask of pregnancy,” is triggered by hormonal fluctuations that increase melanin production, leading to dark patches on the face. The first line of defense is sun protection, and while LINNÉ’s mineral sunscreen is in development, we recommend a targeted skincare routine to prevent and fade hyperpigmentation:

• SCRUB or GLOW Face Mask – Gently exfoliates to promote cellular turnover and even skin tone.

• RENEW Face Serum – Packed with vitamin C (from Kakadu Plum), niacinamide, and botanical brighteners to help fade discoloration and enhance skin clarity.

• REPAIR Face Oil – Rich in antioxidants and regenerative plant oils to nourish, strengthen, and promote an even, radiant complexion.

These products can also be applied to stretch marks to help soften scar tissue and improve skin texture over time.

We’re not here to define beauty or push perfection—we simply want to provide you with potent, science-backed tools that support your skin, so you can feel your best through every stage of life.
