Tender. Gentle. Reassuring.

For the parents doing the holding, who deserve to feel held too.

There is a strange kind of tenderness in the fourth trimester. Days blur, nights break into pieces, and so much of your attention belongs to someone impossibly small, that more often than not you forget you exist completely.

The Fourth Trimester Ritual was created for the person inside that season too, you (or someone you know).

Inside you'll find a gentle collection of four Petal & Pride favourites, picked by our founder who is also a mum (that wishes she had this during PP). It brings together softening body care, steam and small, manageable moments of ceremony and celebration that can fit around feeds, naps, laundry piles and everything else that comes with learning a new little person. 

It allows you to pick your remedy depending on mood and there's no pressure to do it all at once. A quick polish in the shower, a little serum on dry skin or a few minutes wrapped in fragrant steam goes a really long way, especially when sleep deprived.

Perfect for people who...

• Are in the early weeks or months of parenthood and want small moments of care that can fit around an unpredictable day.

• Feel like their own needs have quietly moved to the bottom of the list since welcoming a new baby.

• Want self-care that feels gentle, low-pressure and realistic, rather than another thing they have to complete.

• Are dealing with dry, dull or neglected-feeling skin and want a little softness and nourishment back.

• Miss having rituals that feel like theirs, even if they only have five quiet minutes at a time.

• Love sensory care that can make an ordinary shower or skincare moment feel a little more comforting and intentional.

• Are looking for a thoughtful gift for a new parent that cares for the person as well as the baby.
