As a new mom, your baby's health and your skin are top priorities! At Pokonut, we’ve got you covered with expert tips and gentle, breastfeeding-friendly skincare products. But did you know that skincare ingredients to avoid while breastfeeding can impact both your skin and your baby’s well-being? Since certain ingredients can be absorbed into your body and passed through breast milk, it’s essential to make informed skincare choices during this period. Our guide highlights the best ingredients to nourish your skin while identifying harmful ingredients that should be avoided to keep both you and your baby safe.

Understanding The Importance Of Safe Skincare

As a caring mom, you want the best for your baby - and that includes your skincare choices! During breastfeeding, your skin is more sensitive and your baby's delicate system is affected by what you put on your skin. This makes safe skincare crucial! At Pokonut, we believe in nurturing your skin while nourishing your baby. Our Soothing Aloe Vera Peel-Off Mask, for example, is carefully crafted with natural ingredients, ensuring gentle care for your skin and peace of mind for your baby's well-being. Choose wisely, mama - your skin and baby will thank you!

• Look for products with natural ingredients that provide hydration and nourishment without harsh chemicals.

• Avoid products with artificial fragrances and strong exfoliants that may irritate sensitive skin.

• Opt for skincare that soothes and protects while being free from harmful ingredients that can affect your baby.
