Founded in 2002 by Mrs. Annette and Dr. Jason Rubin, Belli Materna, LLC is a women’s health and wellness company, focused on providing physician-formulated skin care treatments for mothers and infants. Belli sets a new standard for cosmetic ingredient safety as the only company in the world that performs an ongoing review of the published medical literature and screens out any ingredients linked to harmful effects during pregnancy, nursing and infancy. The Company’s Medical Director, Dr. Jason Rubin, provides ongoing Teratology screening to ensure the products are void of any chemicals and ingredients that could be potentially harmful to a pregnant mother and her child. Belli now has three distinct product lines with a total of 23 different SKU’s: Belli Baby, Belli Motherhood, and Belli Pregnancy.

According to ABT’s Chairman and CEO, Jeff Thompson, “Our investment into Belli enhances ABT’s product offering and extends ABT’s focus on serving today’s modern woman. At the same time, this partnership will allow Belli to immediately leverage ABT’s existing distribution channels, effectively giving more customers the opportunity to enjoy Belli’s products.” Brian Anderson, Managing Partner of HealthEdge said, “We are very excited to partner with Belli. The Rubins’ have built an exceptional brand focused on physician-formulated maternity skin care products.
