A pregnancy-safe, natural scent balm designed to ease hyperosmia — the heightened sense of smell that affects so many women during pregnancy.
Hyperosmia — an extreme sensitivity to smell — affects a significant number of pregnant women, particularly during the first trimester. Everyday smells like cooking, cleaning products, perfume, or even fresh air can trigger nausea, vomiting, and real distress. Most women are left searching for relief using products that were never designed with pregnancy safety in mind.
Bump & Breathe was born from that exact experience. Created by a pregnant woman, for pregnant women — every scent, every ingredient, every detail has been chosen with you and your baby in mind.
Open your balm and inhale directly whenever you need instant relief. Keep it in your bag, by your bed, or at your desk for quick access during moments of heightened smell sensitivity.
Apply a small amount of balm to your inner wrists. When you're out and about and hit with an overpowering smell, simply raise your wrist to your nose and breathe in your chosen scent — discreet, easy, and effective.
Smooth a little balm onto your temples for a longer-lasting, ambient scent experience. Particularly helpful during nausea, headaches, or when you simply need a moment of calm.
Every ingredient in our pregnancy balm has been selected for a reason. No fillers, no unnecessary chemicals, no compromises.
Our natural base oil. Jojoba is one of the most skin-friendly, pregnancy-safe carrier oils available — lightweight, non-greasy, and kind to sensitive skin.
Our vegan alternative to beeswax. Candelilla wax gives the balm its smooth, solid texture without any animal-derived ingredients, keeping every tin 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
A natural preservative and skin-nourishing antioxidant. Vitamin E keeps the balm fresh while being genuinely good for the skin it touches.
Each balm uses a single, carefully chosen essential oil — steam distilled for purity, selected for both its scent and its pregnancy safety profile.

Not every pregnancy is the same, and not every day is the same. That's why we created five distinct pregnancy-safe scent balms — each designed to support a different need, giving you the choice to find what works for you.
Lemon is one of the most widely used scents among pregnant women managing hyperosmia. A gentle, uplifting blend that's perfect for masking strong odours and easing heightened smell sensitivity throughout pregnancy.
Our boldest balm. A powerful, cooling peppermint scent for moments when you need maximum strength — cutting through even the most overwhelming smells and delivering instant clarity.
Ginger has been trusted for centuries as a natural remedy for nausea. Our warm, soothing ginger balm is made for queasy days — helping settle the senses and ease pregnancy-related nausea naturally.
That clean, grounding smell after rainfall — petrichor — is one of the most naturally calming scents there is. Many pregnant women find it instantly soothing when everything else feels too much. This one was our founder's own relief.
A fresh fir needle balm that brings the outside in. Naturally grounding and easy on sensitive noses, Forest is for the days you just need clean air and calm.
Use them individually or keep the full set to hand — each scent works on its own, and together they cover every situation pregnancy throws at you.
