Chi Belly Oil: Rooted in Tradition, For Every Passage of Skin.

From birth to adolescence, through pregnancy, surgery, or the natural aging process—our skin carries us through life’s passages. It stretches, strengthens, softens, scars. Each shift is a sign of growth, transformation, and experience. But with change, the skin doesn’t just need to recover—it needs support to adapt.

That’s where Chi Belly Oil comes in.

Developed from the foundational principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Chi Belly Oil is more than just a topical formula. It’s a ritual of care that nourishes the skin through life’s transitions—restoring balance where the body needs it most.

Full Circle: From One Generation to the Next

When my daughter Jessica was born, I followed zuò yuè zi (坐月子)—the traditional Chinese postpartum practice of 30–40 days of rest, nourishment, and internal healing. It was during this time that I first experienced how warming herbs and oils—like ginger—could ease not only pain and fatigue but also support the skin’s resilience.

That understanding became the seed for GingerChi.

Now, Jessica Is Expecting—and the Circle Continues

Jessica’s birth sparked the concept of GingerChi. Now, as she prepares to become a mother herself, it’s her pregnancy that’s inspired our newest creation: Chi Belly Oil.

Chi Belly Oil

This nourishing blend was created to support the skin during transformation—whether it’s pregnancy, weight fluctuation, or simply tuning into areas that need extra nourishment. Inspired by TCM and rooted in balance, it honors both the physical and energetic shifts that mark life’s major changes.

The TCM View of Skin During Pregnancy

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pregnancy is a time when the body channels its Blood and Yin inward to nourish new life. While this supports the baby, it can leave the skin more vulnerable on the surface.

Why skin changes during pregnancy, according to TCM:

• Blood concentrates in the uterus, reducing nourishment to the skin and leading to dryness or thinning
• Yin increases, helping to stabilize the internal environment—but can cause circulation to slow, affecting elasticity and glow
• The Liver and Spleen systems—responsible for energy flow and structural support—are taxed, which may show up as stagnation, fluid retention, or skin sensitivity

These energetic shifts are natural, not flaws. Chi Belly Oil is designed to help support the skin as it changes—gently, effectively, and in balance.

Chi Belly Oil: A Ritual Rooted in Balance

Formulated with powerful yet gentle plant oils and extracts, Chi Belly Oil helps restore harmony to skin under change—grounded in the belief that care is as much about energy as it is about results.

Key Ingredients Include:

• Helichrysum + Rosehip: Help improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks

• Calendula: Soothes inflammation and supports skin renewal

• Frankincense + Fragonia: Promote balance and tone while calming the nervous system

• Ginger Root: Gently stimulates Chi and circulation

• Vitamin E: Reinforces skin’s barrier and prevents moisture loss

Each ingredient is carefully selected to support transformation without overwhelming the body. Even the warming ginger is balanced to gently stimulate—not overstimulate—the flow of Chi.

What Makes Chi Belly Oil Special

Though originally created to support skin through pregnancy, Chi Belly Oil goes beyond the belly. It’s a deeply nourishing blend for anyone experiencing change—in the body or in the skin.

• Supports stretching skin—from pregnancy, weight shifts, or growth spurts—by improving elasticity and suppleness
• Hydrates deeply with a light, absorbent base of Fractionated Coconut and Apricot Kernel oils
• Restores and strengthens dry, sensitive, or tight skin in need of long-lasting moisture
• Helps soften the appearance of scars—from C-sections, surgery, or past skin trauma—with Helichrysum and Frankincense, both known for promoting skin regeneration and improving tone
• Offers a soothing daily ritual, reconnecting you to your body through intentional touch and the energetic support of Chi

This is more than a stretch mark oil. It’s a return to balance—one drop at a time.

How to Use

Apply daily to the belly, hips, breasts, or anywhere the skin is stretching or healing. Use slow, circular motions and take deep breaths—this is a ritual, not a routine.

To support postpartum recovery, pair with our Lavender Ginger Body Oil, which promotes warmth and flow during the critical Yang-depleted period after birth.

From One Generation to the Next

GingerChi was inspired by Jessica’s birth—encompassing the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine of bringing the body back into balance. 
Now, as she prepares to welcome her own child, Chi Belly Oil carries that story forward.

This is not just a new product.
It’s the continuation of a legacy.
It’s care—rooted in tradition, grounded in Chi.
