Not satisfied with the choice of personal care products currently available for pregnant women, Dr. Michele Brown, a board-certified practicing obstetrician, has developed Beauté de Maman, her own personal care line specifically designed to treat problems related to the physiological and hormonal changes experienced by women during pregnancy. These products are categorized as cosmeceuticals because of the medicinal properties in their ingredients. The only products of this type developed by a practicing Obstetrician, Beauté de Maman utilizes natural and herbal active ingredients to ensure the safety of both mother-to-be and baby.

What are the differences between the Beaute de Maman Stretch Mark Cream and other brands on the market?

 There are several significant differences between Beaute de Maman Stretch Mark Cream and the competing products.  First and foremost is the quality of the product.

Beaute de Maman contains herbal and botanical ingredients that have been shown to increase collagen and elastin. Breakage of these skin proteins during the rapid expansion of the skin during pregnancy is responsible for the creation of stretch marks. By increasing the production of these skin proteins the severity and the extent of stretch marks can be markedly reduced. Anti-wrinkle creams employ similar technology. However, those products are not tested in pregnancy. In addition, none of the competing products recommended for the pregnant woman contain this technology. These products primarily moisturize and hydrate the skin as the sole means of protection. Their effectiveness against stretch marks is therefore marginal.

 Another significant advantage of this product is the fact that it is an absorbent cream rather than messy oil. Pregnant women care about their clothes and their appearance, making an absorbent cream a far superior product.

Beaute de Maman is the ONLY obstetrician developed product line. These products have been researched using databases and reproduction toxicity reports available only to physicians.

Each ingredient has been extensively researched to insure safety to the mother and developing fetus.

In addition, all Beauté de Maman products have been patient tested. Having a large obstetrical population, Dr. Brown was able to test each product on hundreds of patients who filled out questionnaires and made comments.  Product was released only after all the suggestions were used to manufacture the best quality product. No other product on the market can make these claims.

Competitive products are designed by non medical business people many with imported products, under different guidelines, Some are designed by large companies that deal primarily with baby skin care products who have now decided to branch into the maternal arena. Others were developed by individuals with no experience or knowledge about pregnancy other than having been pregnant themselves. The Beaute line is strictly maternal and aims to deal only with the problems associated with the pregnant woman from years of experience and caring for thousands of pregnant women.
