Bump & Breathe is a collection of pregnancy‑safe scent balms
designed to help with hyperosmia, nausea, and sensitivity to
smells during pregnancy.
The balms create a subtle scent anchor that helps your brain
filter out overwhelming odours, easing nausea and sensory
overload.
Yes. Each balm is formulated at 1% essential oil — the
recommended safe level for leave‑on pregnancy products.
Intentionally so. Bump & Breathe balms are designed with
pregnancy in mind — where overwhelming scents are often the
problem, not the solution. The scent is locked in until
application, releasing gently when warmed on the skin, so you
stay in control of when and how much you experience. Subtle by
design, effective when you need it.
Because that's the point. Bump & Breathe isn't here to be the
best smell you've ever experienced — it's here to help. Every
balm contains one clean, purposeful scent with one job to do.
The last thing you need when you're struggling with nausea is a
ginger balm that also smells of pepper and turmeric, or a lemon
balm layered with lavender. We keep things simple because
pregnancy is complicated enough. One scent. One aid. Nothing
extra.
Open the tin and inhale, or apply a small amount to wrists or
temples for grounding relief throughout the day.
Lemon for masking odours and pregnancy nose aid, Mint for strong
smells and easing fatigue, Ginger is a powerhouse for nausea,
Rain for grounding calm, Forest for fresh-air comfort, or the
Essentials Selection for all situations.
Yes. We use candelilla wax instead of beeswax, and all
ingredients are vegan and cruelty‑free.
Every balm is hand‑poured, packaged, and made in the UK.
Every balm is handcrafted in a dedicated production workspace —
not a kitchen. Unlike many indie brands, our space is used
exclusively for production, with constant airflow and
ventilation. All equipment is cleaned down with isopropyl
alcohol before every batch, and every production run is logged
using a bespoke batch tracking system — so we always know
exactly what went into every tin.
With daily use, a 15ml tin with 10g of product which typically
lasts 4–6 weeks.
Yes — the ingredients are gentle and safe. Avoid applying
directly to the chest if your baby will be in contact with the
skin.
Yes. Many people use it for motion sickness, anxiety grounding,
migraines, and general scent sensitivity.
Not exactly. Aromatherapy focuses on mood; Bump & Breathe
focuses on sensory relief and pregnancy‑safe scent support with
nauseal relief scents backed by science.
No — it’s not a medical treatment. But many women find ginger,
mint, and lemon scents help ease queasiness - and science has
backed this.
Currently we only ship within the US but are looking to expand
our business!
Absolutely. The balms make a thoughtful, supportive gift for
early pregnancy, first‑trimester nausea, and pregnancy care
packages.
