MOUNTAIN · My Pregnancy Belly Ritual
The nightly ritual I trust as my belly grows and my skin stretches.
I am 29 weeks pregnant right now, and every night before bed I massage MOUNTAIN into my growing bump. It has become a beautiful, quiet moment of connection with my baby, and it is also the way I keep my skin soft, hydrated and comfortable while it stretches faster than it ever has. MOUNTAIN is our collagen tallow, made with grass-fed tallow, beef bone marrow, jojoba and whole-plant botanicals, the whole nutrients your skin actually recognises during a season of so much growth.
Why growing skin needs more than a basic cream
Your skin is stretching fast. Most belly creams give it very little.
Pregnancy asks a lot of your skin in a very short time. It stretches, it tightens, it can feel dry and itchy, and it is quietly working to hold its elasticity through all of it. That is exactly when you want to be careful about what you are putting on, twice over, because whatever touches your bump is close to your baby too. Here is what usually lets you down.
- Belly butters and oils loaded with synthetic fragrance and preservatives you would rather not wear on your bump
- Watery lotions that are mostly water and seed oils, with almost no real nourishment for skin that is stretching
- Rich formulas that sit greasy on top and never sink in, so you stop reaching for them
- Products that hydrate the surface but do nothing to support the skin's own collagen and elasticity underneath
- Long ingredient lists that leave you second-guessing what is actually safe during pregnancy
Stretching skin does not need more filler. It needs whole nourishment.
MOUNTAIN is our collagen tallow: whole, animal-based and plant nutrients that support the skin as it grows, with nothing synthetic on your bump.
MOUNTAIN, our collagen tallow, chosen for skin that is stretching.
Why I reach for MOUNTAIN
The collagen tallow that supports skin as it grows.
Of all our tallow, MOUNTAIN is the one built for elasticity. It blends grass-fed beef tallow with beef bone marrow, organic jojoba, and whole-plant infusions of clove and hibiscus, all chosen to support the skin's own collagen, firmness and resilience. That is exactly what a growing belly is asking for, which is why it became my nightly ritual.
- Made for elasticity, tallow, bone marrow and hibiscus work together to support the skin's own collagen and help it stay supple as it stretches.
- Whole nutrients your skin knows, grass-fed tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K and mirrors your skin's own oils, so it sinks in rather than sitting on top.
- Gentle and clean, no seed oils, no synthetic fragrance, no preservatives, just five whole ingredients you can feel good about wearing on your bump.
- A ritual, not a chore, a pea-sized amount melts in with a warm, grounding scent, the kind of calm moment that is easy to keep up every night.
- Synthetic fragrance and preservatives on your bump
- Mostly water and seed oils
- Hydrates the surface only
- Greasy, so you stop using it
- Five whole ingredients, nothing synthetic
- Tallow, bone marrow and botanicals
- Supports collagen and elasticity underneath
- Melts in and becomes a nightly ritual
A note from our founder
My pregnancy essential, in my own words.
"As my belly has grown, I have made it a habit to massage tallow onto my bump every night before bed. It has become such a beautiful ritual of self-care and connection with my baby, while also delivering amazing results for my skin."
Tallow is rich in skin-loving fatty acids and nutrients that help keep skin soft, nourished and supported as it grows and stretches. It is also incredibly gentle, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin and something I feel comfortable using throughout my pregnancy.
Personally, at 29 weeks, I do not have a single stretch mark yet, and my skin feels hydrated, comfortable and healthy. Of course, every pregnancy and every body is different, and I am now entering the third trimester where a lot of growth still happens. There are never any guarantees when it comes to stretch marks, but consistently nourishing my skin has been an important part of my routine.
What I love most is that tallow is not just for prevention. It can also help improve the appearance of existing stretch marks by supporting healthy, hydrated skin.
Follow along to see how I go through the rest of my pregnancy, or try it for yourself. At the very least, you are giving your skin a boost of nourishing, whole nutrients during one of the most incredible seasons of life. And if a few stretch marks still appear? They are a beautiful reminder of the amazing journey of growing life.
What's inside every jar
Five whole ingredients. Nothing else.
No fillers, no water, no synthetic fragrance. Just five whole ingredients, each chosen to support skin that is stretching and growing.
Grass-Fed Tallow
100% grass-fed and grass-finished Australian tallow, rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Its fatty acid profile closely mirrors your skin's own oils, so nutrients penetrate deeply and help support cell regeneration and elasticity, exactly what stretching skin is asking for.
Beef Bone Marrow
Naturally rich in collagen, essential fatty acids and vitamins A and K2. Its fats closely mimic the skin's own oils, supporting elasticity, hydration and the skin's repair process as your belly grows.
Organic Jojoba
Organic jojoba from a Queensland family farm, biologically similar to your skin's own sebum and rich in vitamin E and antioxidants. Gentle, odourless and beautifully absorbed.
Clove
A certified organic whole-plant infusion with a deep, grounding, earthy scent. Rich in antioxidants and known to help support the skin's natural collagen and a healthy, balanced texture.
Hibiscus
A certified organic whole-plant infusion, ultra-hydrating and mineral-rich. Loved for helping protect the skin's natural collagen and support firm, resilient, healthy-looking skin.
Not just for your bump
One jar for the whole pregnancy season.
MOUNTAIN Tallow Collagen
A rich, collagen-supporting tallow cream, hand-poured in small batches in Yamba. Because it is built around elasticity and repair, it quietly earns a place across your whole pregnancy and well beyond it.
- A nightly massage for your growing belly and hips
- Support for skin on the bust, thighs and lower back as they change
- A gentle option to help soften the look of existing marks
- A collagen cream for your face, under-eyes, neck and hands
- A grounding, screen-free moment to connect with your baby
- Five whole ingredients, nothing synthetic near your bump
Most people start it for their bump, and keep reaching for it long after baby arrives.
Your nightly ritual
One warm minute before bed.
Take a pea-sized amount, warm it gently between your palms, and massage it slowly into your bump in soft, upward circles until it fully absorbs. Take your time. This is as much a moment to breathe and connect with your baby as it is skincare. Reach for it every night, and any other time your skin feels tight or dry.
- On your bump each night, massaged in slow circles until absorbed.
- On changing areas like hips, bust, thighs and lower back.
- On dry, tight spots whenever your skin is asking for it.
- On your face, neck and hands as a collagen-supporting daily cream.
- After baby arrives to keep nourishing and softening your skin.
What to expect
From the very first night.
Every pregnancy and every body is different, and there are never guarantees when it comes to stretch marks. What consistent nourishment can offer is skin that feels cared for through all the changes.
Instant comfort
Tight, dry, itchy skin feels soothed and cushioned as the cream melts in, and the ritual itself is calming.
Softer, more supple skin
Rough, stretched areas feel smoother and more comfortable as the barrier is supported by whole, nourishing fats.
Hydrated and cared for
Your skin stays hydrated and supported as your belly grows, and the nightly ritual becomes something you look forward to.
A ritual you keep
Consistent nourishment helps your skin feel healthy and comfortable, and can also help soften the look of any marks that do appear.
Honest answers
The questions mums-to-be ask.
Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
MOUNTAIN is made from whole ingredients with no synthetic fragrance, no preservatives and no seed oils, and our founder Kate has used it throughout her own pregnancy. As with any product during pregnancy, if you have sensitive skin, allergies or any specific concerns, we always recommend a small patch test first and a quick check with your midwife or GP.
Will it prevent stretch marks?
We would never promise that, because no product can. Stretch marks come down to genetics, how quickly skin stretches and many things outside anyone's control. What MOUNTAIN offers is consistent, whole nourishment that keeps skin hydrated, comfortable and supported as it grows, and it can also help soften the appearance of marks that do appear.
When should I start using it?
Whenever feels right for you. Many mums-to-be start early and keep it up as a nightly habit, but it is never too late to begin nourishing your skin, and MOUNTAIN is just as lovely to keep using after baby arrives.
Will it feel heavy or greasy on my bump?
A little goes a long way. A pea-sized amount warms between your palms and melts into the skin rather than sitting on top, because tallow is so close to your skin's own oils. Most people describe it as rich and nourishing yet comfortable.
What does it smell like?
Warm, grounded and gently earthy, with subtle depth from the whole-plant clove and hibiscus. The scent is natural rather than perfumed, which many find calming during pregnancy when strong fragrances can feel like too much.
What's actually in it?
Just five whole ingredients: 100% grass-fed and grass-finished Australian tallow, beef bone marrow, organic jojoba oil, and whole-plant infusions of clove and hibiscus. No seed oils, no water, no synthetic fragrance and no fillers.
