OB/GYN Launches New Line of Persona Care Products - Safe for Pregnant Women & Developing Fetus

OB/GYN CREATES NEW LINE OF PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS –
SAFE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN & DEVELOPING FETUS

Stamford, Connecticut, March 13, 2008… Not satisfied with the choice of personal care products currently available for pregnant women, Dr. Michele Brown, a board-certified practicing obstetrician, has developed Beaute 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, Beaute de Maman utilizes natural and herbal active ingredients to ensure the safety of both mother-to-be and baby. Beaute de Maman’s stretch mark cream, nipple gel, face and body cream and facial scrub are currently available on www.beautedemaman.com. All products are extensively researched, allergy-tested and affordably-priced.

Since the opening of her practice in 1982, Dr. Brown has been in the unique position to observe thousands of her own patients as they struggle to find safe remedies to help them cope with such pregnancy-related difficulties as stretch marks, acne and nursing pain. Working closely with a Ph.D. organic chemist who is an expert in the field of product development and technology for the cosmetic industry, she has extensively researched, tested and evaluated each ingredient on more than 300 patients to ensure their  effectiveness. “My experience as a board-certified obstetrician allowed me access to information only available to medical professionals, so I was able to conduct extensive
research on all of the ingredients in my products,” said Dr. Brown. Her large obstetrical practice allowed her to test them for effectiveness, consistency and reliability and to make improvements based on patients’ recommendations.

Beaute de Maman Products:

• Stretch Mark Cream
  for pregnancy
  This unique blend of ingredients forms a rich, moisturizing and hydrating cream which is known to increase collagen and elastin, aiding in the prevention of stretch marks. Unlike messy oils, it is an absorbent formula with all natural botanical and herbal ingredients to help preserve the skin’s elasticity and suppleness. This product is scent-free, making it more tolerable for pregnant women.
  
  
• Nipple gel
  for nursing women
  Unlike other gels which are dark, sticky, greasy and stain clothing, our special formula is 100% LANOLIN-FREE and easy to apply. Its soothing blend of natural, herbal ingredients has a smooth, moisturizing castor oil base to aid in the healing of sore, cracked, dry nipples. The main component, Calendula officinalis, promotes healing of inflamed areas which helps in the prevention of mastitis.
  
  
• Face & Body Cream
  for oily, blemished skin in pregnancy
  This cream has been specifically developed to safely treat blemished skin caused by hormonal changes in pregnancy. Its special antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory activity derived from tea tree oil, aids in the treatment of acne. It contains a special blend of natural botanical extracts giving it a characteristic scent and gentle drying effect. All ingredients have been carefully chosen to ensure safety to the developing fetus.
  
  
• Facial scrub
  for pregnancy
  This creamy facial scrub can be used by all skin types to remove dirt and surface     oil from makeup and dead skin cells that can clog pores. Prepared in a     moisturizing base to avoid excessive drying, it contains exfoliating beads. Skin     feels clean, soft and refreshed. Used with the face and body cream, it is effective     for the oily, blemished skin typical in early pregnancy.

Since the beginning of her Obstetrics and Gynecology practice in 1982, Dr. Michele Brown has delivered more than 3,000 babies, making her uniquely qualified to recognize the problems of pregnant women. She has used this experience and her medical training to guide her in the development of Beaute Maman’s unique health and beauty products; and more importantly, to evaluate their effectiveness.

Dr. Brown has a busy obstetrical practice in Stamford, Connecticut where as a clinical attending, she actively teaches residents from Stamford Hospital and medical students from New York’s Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.
