What’s not in here
Nothing you’d need to look up at eleven at night. Here’s the specific version of “safe” - what we leave out of every Harmonaly formula, why, and what does the job instead.
Not in any of them
No retinoids
The one ingredient every doctor agrees should wait until after pregnancy and feeding. Not in the oils, the lotions, the balm - anywhere.
No hydroquinone
Not anywhere. Uneven-looking tone after baby gets kojic acid in Hydraheal Lotion and manjistha in the Body Smoothener - postpartum steps, not pregnancy ones.
No mineral oil, no paraffin
Plant oils and butters carry every formula - coconut, almond, jojoba, shea. No paraffinum liquidum, no petroleum jelly.
No parabens
Where a lotion needs a preservative, it’s phenoxyethanol and sodium benzoate - named on the pack, like everything else.
No plastic microbeads
The Body Smoothener exfoliates with sugar that dissolves as you rinse. Nothing goes down the drain that shouldn’t.
Every ingredient named
Common name and INCI, on the pack and on the page. If you can’t find one in the Ingredients A–Z, ask us and we’ll add it.
Nothing hidden. Everything named.
Rose, geranium, moringa, kumkumadi, jojoba, rosehip - real plant actives, named on the pack and the page in the exact order they’re in the bottle. Stretch Heal Lotion’s fragrance oil is on the label because it’s there; the Balm’s beeswax and the Shampoo’s milk protein, same reason. No vague “natural formula,” no hiding behind “fragrance” or “herbal extract” - just what’s inside, plainly, so you decide with the full picture.

Essential oils in pregnancy
Every oil here is used at massage strength, on the skin - not swallowed, not diffused. Patch-test behind the knee first. If you’re in the first trimester, or your doctor has asked you to avoid essential oils, ask before you start.
