MAMA MIO is founded by Obstetricians / Gynaecologists in 2004 and they specialise in pregnancy skincare. They were one of the very first brands dedicated entirely to pregnancy skincare. Their range consists of creams formulated to prevent and target stretch marks, super-gentle cleansing wipes and omega-rich body lotions.  They say that their range contains all the essentials for new or expecting mothers.

I have heard a lot about this range and I wanted to try it.  This has nothing to do with the Kardashians even if Mama Mio promote that the Kardashian sisters have been loving their products.

What Is The MAMA MIO Range About?

Mama Mio is developed specifically to soothe, strengthen, nourish and protect skin during pregnancy, and beyond.  Mama Mio’s range of nutritive products work to firm and fortify boobs, bottoms and bumps, so the body ‘bounces’ back once the baby is born. Their products contain fatty acids, omegas 3, 6 and 9 (which naturally deplete during pregnancy).  They promote the fact that their topical products consist of  the finest, natural ingredients – usually reserved for facial skin care products – to maintain skin’s elasticity and reduce the risk of stretch marks as the body expands. What’s more, no parabens, xenoestrogen, PEG, phthalate or synthetic colour or fragrance in any Mama Mio product, so all are totally safe for both mother and baby. The ultimate must-haves for mothers-to-be.

What Did I Try?

I wanted to dip my toe in the water initially and I saw online that they have a Pregnancy Essentials Kit all at 30ml sizes to try what they consider as the ‘must-haves’ of their pregnancy range:

The Tummy Rub Butter (30ml)

Say NO to stretch marks.  Safe and effective protection against stretch marks and itchy tummies.  This is an award-winning formula that works to improve skin elasticity to help prevent stretch marks when your bump grows. Delivering maximum protection, it combines omega-rich Organic Oils (Argan, Coconut and Avocado) with Shea Butter to protect your tummy, boobs, hips and thighs from stretch marks and itching, and antioxidant Vitamin E to intensely moisturise. Rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 to help build skin’s strength and elasticity, it will keep skin hydrated for safe stretching, and is approved for use during pregnancy and nursing. It also helps your body to ‘bounce back’ after birth.

Pregnancy Boob Tube (30ml)

Aim North, not South.  Helps protect and cool after breast feeding. Consists of antioxidant-rich CoQ10 and Milk Thistle, the lightweight cream strengthens and protects delicate skin, whilst Organic Rosehip Fruit Oil moisturises and hydrates. Ideal for those experiencing cup size changes, engorgement and discomfort, its unique blend of Green Cabbage Leaf Extract and Hibiscus works to reduce swelling and improve elasticity for a smoother, firmer-looking décolleté and bust area. Safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Gorgeous Glow (30ml)

Balancing facial wash.  Deep cleanse and gently balance sensitive, hormonal or misbehaving skin. A lightly foaming, soap-free face wash that utilises natural Coconut-derived cleansers to refresh and revitalise your complexion, whilst keeping hormonal breakouts at bay. Infused with Tea Tree Extract and an Omega-rich blend of Organic Evening Primrose, Sweet Almond and Avocado Oils, the luxurious cleanser gently eliminates dead skin cells and impurities without over-drying or uncomfortable tightness.

Lucky Legs (30ml)

Energising leg gel.  Cool and refresh swollen legs and feet instantly. A refreshing and relieving formula that works to instantly comfort and revive tired legs. During pregnancy, our body carries a third more blood round our system; this, paired with water retention and carrying a baby can really take its toll on our legs and feet. To help relieve your aches and pains, the cooling gel formula combines stimulating essential oils with Ginger Root and Murumuru Seed Butter to invigorate and hydrate, whilst Menthol and Chamomile ease muscle discomfort. Apply this whenever our legs need an instant relief.

Price: £29.50 / €34.52 RRP.

My Opinion

I am really enjoying all the products from the textures, to the quality of the ingredients, to the fragrances, and I am very tempted to buy more.  The one thing that I am a little disappointed in is that the Tummy Rub Oil is not included in this kit.  I would consider the oil to be just as important as the other 4 items.  When I looked online, I could not find any kit they offer that includes both the Tummy Rub Butter and the Tummy Rub Oil together.

For anyone searching for pregnancy skincare, this is a great brand to try.
