Pregnancy-safe body butter

Hi all,

My SIL is pregnant (will be my first niece/nephew) and she's finding her pregnancy quite hard for various reasons (terrible morning sickness, dizziness, back problems, dry skin, etc). She recently mentioned to me in passing that loads of her usual bath / body products aren't safe for foetuses, and I wanted to make her some luxurious body butter to cheer her up. Can anyone tell me if the following ingredients are pregnancy safe?

Coconut oil
Shea butter
Pure mineral oil
Blackberry and bay essential oil

All of the above are raw, organic ingredients.

Thanks for your help! I found google a bit baffling on this so thought I would turn to the collective experience of MN!

I honestly can't believe a midwife said that. Surely they should be sticking to nhs guidance? The only products I know of that are contraindicated in pregnancy are a few essential oils.
