Analisa Stevenson is a mother of three. This is her youngest, Tadhg. When she was pregnant with him, her skin wasn’t the same.
“I had dry, flaking skin on my nose and lots of red spots and my lips were tingling and everything was just not feeling right, my skin was not good.”
But she was worried about using her regular skin care line.
“The last thing I would want to do is fill up a newborn baby with all sorts of chemicals.”
That’s when a friend recommended Baby Bump – an all natural skin care line, safe for pregnant women.
“Lots of the products are food products I’d eat when I was pregnant so I felt really comfortable with that.”
Baby Bump was created by Kate Mistol. A former local news anchor, turned mompreneur. She was inspired to go natural with her product line because of her first pregnancy four years ago. It caused her troubled skin, to get even worse.
“I got melasma, the facial discolouration, I had excema that hadn’t been there in a long time, my dry skin was extra dry and itchy. It was a nightmare.”
And she too was reluctant to use the products she had in the past.
“When I read the ingredient lists of those things, half I couldn’t pronounce, half when I did the research made me frightened so I really needed to find something that was natural, that worked.”
But it didn’t really exist. So, Baby Bump was born.
Not only is Baby Bump about making expectant mothers feel good, it’s about educating them about what is safe to put on their body, especially when they have that little one inside.
Mistol says, “what we put on our skin goes directly to that baby, it’s absorbed – if you can take the care and the time to make sure that no more toxins are entering their body, why wouldn’t you?”
The Baby Bump line includes a scrub and stretch mark minimizer as well as an oil and face mask.
And Stevenson loves them all.
“When I found Baby Bump and I could just go into the shower, use the scrub, come out and lather myself in cream, I felt completely normal again.”
And that’s the goal of Baby Bump… to soothe the skin and ease the mind.

Good morning!
I just finished watching your segment on Baby Bump skin care products. I had been patiently waiting to hear what it was all about.
I am expecting my 3rd child in January, half way there. And I have to admit that this pregnancy has been far different than my first 2. I can relate with having some skin issues I do not normally have. I usually have pretty easy skin, nothing major but for those of you who are or have had kids know it all changes once you’re pregnant.
Since having my first son 5 years ago, my life style has changed alot. I try to buy organic foods and natural products as much as I can and after watching your program I am very interested in a product that delivers natural ingredients, especially for my unborn child.
I will defiantly be checking out the website posted and future products by Kate. If you could please enter me in your draw to try her products I would appreciate it.
All the best to all expected moms.
