Are all IKOU products safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding?
At IKOU, we understand that pregnancy and the postpartum period is a time when extra care and consideration goes into every product you choose. We're here to help you navigate our range with confidence. 🌿
About Our Ingredients
IKOU products are crafted using botanical ingredients, essential oils, and naturally derived actives designed to support everyday wellbeing rituals. That said, every pregnancy journey is unique — and sensitivities can shift during this time.
General Guidance During Pregnancy
Many customers continue to enjoy a wide range of IKOU products throughout pregnancy. We always recommend:
- Introducing new products slowly
- Monitoring your skin and scent sensitivities as they may change
- Consulting your doctor or healthcare professional if you have any concerns before use
Generally Safe to Use
The majority of IKOU products are safe to enjoy during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including:
- De-Stress blend — a long-time favourite among pregnant customers, featuring a calming blend of lavender, geranium, lemon, clementine, and patchouli. Safe on the skin in our body products and beautiful as a room fragrance
- Pure Results Skincare range
