THE JUSTBLiSS PREGNANCY-SAFE HAIR & BODY RITUAL GUIDE

Gentle, Safe & Nourishing Care for You & Your Baby

Pregnancy is a time of extraordinary change — your skin, hair, and body all shift as your hormones fluctuate and your body works hard to nurture new life. JUSTBLiSS plant-based formulas are free from sulphates, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals — making them a natural fit for pregnancy care. This guide highlights the safest, most nourishing products from the JUSTBLiSS range and how to use them during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

⚠️ Important: Every pregnancy is different. Always check with your healthcare provider or midwife before introducing new products, especially if you have a high-risk pregnancy or skin sensitivities. When in doubt, do a patch test first.

Wash hair 2–3 times a week maximum — pregnancy hormones often change hair texture and oil production. Less washing helps maintain your scalp’s natural balance during this time.


✨ Step 1: Pregnancy-Safe Hair Cleanse

Use: Eco-Friendly Shampoo Bar in Tin — safest scent choices during pregnancy:

  • Lavender — calming and gentle, widely considered safe during pregnancy and excellent for a sensitised scalp
  • Rose Garden — soft and hydrating, a gentle choice for pregnancy-related scalp sensitivity
  • Fragrance-free or mild scents — if you are experiencing heightened scent sensitivity (very common in the first trimester), choose the mildest option available

Wash with lukewarm water — never hot. Massage gently at the scalp with fingertips.

🌿 Why it works: Sulphate-free shampoo bars are free from the harsh detergents that can irritate a pregnancy-sensitised scalp. Plant-based cleansing is gentle enough for daily use if needed, without disrupting the scalp’s natural balance.


✨ Step 2: Condition After Every Wash — Ends Only

Use: Zero Waste Conditioner Bar

  • Apply to mid-lengths and ends only.
  • Leave for 2–3 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

🌿 Why it works: Pregnancy hormones can make hair drier or more brittle — gentle conditioning after every wash keeps ends soft, manageable, and protected without any harsh ingredients.


✨ Step 3: Weekly Deep Nourishment Mask

Use: Botanical Repair Hair Mask with Batana Oil & Rosemary

  • Apply from scalp to ends once weekly after cleansing.
  • Leave for 20–30 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

🌿 Why it works: Batana oil is a deeply nourishing, plant-based oil that strengthens and repairs hair without any harmful ingredients. Pregnancy can cause hair texture changes — a weekly mask keeps hair strong, soft, and resilient throughout.


✨ Step 4: Scalp & Hair Nourishment

Use: Pure Hemp Seed Oil

  • Apply to the scalp and lengths as a pre-wash treatment once weekly — leave 20–30 minutes, then wash out.
  • Or apply a small amount to ends only as a leave-in treatment on non-wash days.

🌿 Why it works: Pure Hemp Seed Oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids — deeply nourishing for both scalp and hair during pregnancy without any essential oils or potentially sensitising ingredients. It is also excellent for pregnancy skin, stretch marks, and dry skin.


✨ Step 5: Body & Skin Care

Use: Prickly Pear Seed Oil and Pure Hemp Seed Oil

  • Apply Prickly Pear Seed Oil to the face, neck, and décolleté morning and evening.
  • Apply Pure Hemp Seed Oil to the belly, hips, thighs, and breasts to support skin elasticity as your body grows.
  • Massage in gently with circular motions to support circulation.

🌿 Why it works: Prickly Pear Seed Oil is one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin E and antioxidants — it supports skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of stretch marks, and keeps pregnancy skin glowing. Hemp Seed Oil’s omegas deeply nourish and support the skin barrier as it stretches and changes.


✨ Step 6: Daily Scalp & Skin Refresh

Use: Rosemary Hydrosol Hair Growth Mist

  • Spritz lightly onto the scalp between washes to refresh and rebalance.
  • Can also be used as a gentle facial mist — spritz onto skin for a refreshing, calming boost.

🌿 Why it works: Rosemary hydrosol (not rosemary essential oil) is a gentle, diluted floral water that is generally considered safe during pregnancy for topical use. It soothes the scalp, supports circulation, and provides a refreshing daily boost without any harsh actives.


✨ Step 7: Magnesium Support

Use: Magnesium Bath Salt, Pure Epsom Salt, or Lavender Magnesium Oil Spray

  • Add salts to a lukewarm (not hot) bath 2–3 times weekly — soak for 15–20 minutes.
  • Spray Magnesium Oil onto legs, lower back, and shoulders to ease muscle tension and support sleep.

⚠️ Check with your midwife or healthcare provider before using magnesium supplements orally during pregnancy. Topical magnesium is generally well-tolerated but always check if you have any concerns.

🌿 Why it works: Magnesium is one of the most important minerals during pregnancy — it supports muscle relaxation, reduces leg cramps (extremely common in pregnancy), improves sleep quality, and calms the nervous system. Topical absorption through the skin is a gentle and effective way to support magnesium levels.


✨ Step 8: Inner Support

Use: Pure Vitamin C Powder

  • Add to water, juice, or smoothies daily.
  • Check with your healthcare provider regarding dosage during pregnancy.

⚠️ Do not take Collagen Powder during pregnancy without consulting your healthcare provider first.

🌿 Why it works: Vitamin C supports collagen production, immune function, and iron absorption — all critical during pregnancy. It is safe and beneficial in appropriate doses, supporting both your skin and your baby’s development.

Why Your Skin Recognises Hemp Seed Oil

Of all the plant oils on earth, hemp seed oil has the closest molecular match to your skin's own natural lipids. Its 3:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio mirrors what your skin barrier is made of — which is why it absorbs instantly, penetrates deeply, and repairs from within. Add gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a rare anti-inflammatory fatty acid, and you have the only plant oil that simultaneously moisturises, reduces inflammation, balances sebum, and strengthens your barrier. No THC. No CBD. Just pure skin intelligence — cold-pressed from Cannabis sativa seeds at peak potency.
