Burt's Bees Mama Belly Butter Stretch Mark Cream for Pregnancy Massages Body & Reduces Scar Appearance, Prenatal & Postnatal Tummy Skin Care, Shea Butter & Vitamin E Rich Formula, 6.5 Oz Tub

This is a pregnancy must!! I’ve used this for multiple pregnancies and one tub has lasted me the whole pregnancy! Its smell is neutral, which is what I prefer. It works so well and makes my skin feel so soft and adds lots of moisture! I’ve also had no stretch marks while using this! I love that it’s a pretty clean product. It’s also not super thick but also not too thin, perfect for belly butter!

I used this my entire pregnancy from once I started showing to a couple weeks after birth. I'm 5 months post partum and have no stretch marks! This cream isn't super greasy either and doesn't have any type of bad smell. This is good stuff!!

I used this every single day of my pregnancy and it kept my belly moisturized! It was my favorite thing to use and every time I put it on I always felt my babies kicking.

I love this moisturizer. It's thick but not heavy. It smells good. It was perfect for my pregnant belly that got dry and itchy. I use it all over my body to stay moisturized.

As someone who wanted a natural, non-greasy moisturizer during pregnancy, I decided to try Burt’s Bees Mama Belly Butter, and I’m so glad I did!First ImpressionsRight off the bat, I loved that it’s fragrance-free. A lot of belly creams have strong scents that can be overwhelming, especially with pregnancy nausea, but this one is super mild. The texture is thick but not greasy, and it absorbs well into the skin without feeling sticky.Moisture & ComfortI started using this around my second trimester when my belly began stretching more, and it kept my skin feeling soft and hydrated all day. The cocoa, shea, and jojoba butters feel luxurious and really help with that tight, itchy feeling as the skin stretches.Stretch Mark Prevention?While no cream can guarantee you won’t get stretch marks (a lot of that comes down to genetics), I do feel like this helped keep my skin elastic and moisturized, which can definitely reduce their severity. So far, I haven’t noticed any new ones!

My mom has stretch marks from two pregnancies. She did not apply anything to her skin during her pregnancy and endured terrible itching from the skin stretching. She was 5 feet tall, 95lbs, and gave birth to a 6 lb and 8.5lb babies. She was not extremely active.I'm 5'2" and gave birth to a 6 lb 12 oz baby. Prepregnancy I weighed 115 lbs. By 37th week of pregnancy, I weighed 140 lbs. Prior and throughout most of my pregnancy, I did core exercises. I did not get stretch marks.I started using this my 10th week of pregnancy and continued to apply it once every night after shower until I gave birth my 37th week. I applied to my entire abdomen, hips, and legs. I also ate a lot of collagen rich foods and kale. I only went through 3 tubs of this stuff.Whether this belly butter cream saved me from stretch marks, I really can't say. According to every medical professional and book I have looked up, stretch marks are NOT preventable as it is dependent on genetics. But they aren't clear whether it is a recessive trait or if it skips...What I do know is I used this, and my skin has never been smoother. It helped prevent itchiness of the stretched skin during my pregnancy. Even an itchy dry patch that had plagued my leg for 3 years disappeared a few months after using it. And this itchy patch had been resistant to even prescription steroid cream (I have adult eczema), and was further irritated by vaseline, and other moisturizers. I was scratching my leg in bed every night for three years. In fact, not long into my pregnancy, the itchy patch had appeared to spread. This belly butter completely eliminated the patch. My sister commented on how smooth my legs and arms look and I told her I was using the belly butter on my limbs as well.As for the smell- it smells like oil. I think there are some people that commented how it stank. Well- yeah- if you are used to perfumed creams, than I guess this is startling in its lack of pleasing fragrances. Opened a bottle of cooking oil and take a whiff: this is what the Mama Bee Belly Butter smells closest to. Some medical professionals advocate a perfume free pregnancy- this product would be perfect for those seeking that route. I don't mind the smell at all- it doesn't linger on the skin, only if you are shoving your nose into the tub.

I already have stretch marks from my previous pregnancies, and I’m 19 weeks with my 3rd, so I can’t say whether or not this will help prevent new ones or my skin has already been stretched out, but I can say that I really do like this product! There is no fragrance, which I’m grateful for. I am very sensitive to lotions with fragrance so this is nice. The cream feels good to rub on my belly after I shower, and I can feel it washing off the next night in the shower, which tells me it lasts all day long, even through sweat and maternity pants rubbing on it! I love Burts Bees and use many of their products.

I cannot recommend this product enough. I started using it once a day early second trimester. It is a thick, rich cream so it goes a long way. A container lasted me a month each time. Third trimester I rarely encountered any itchiness on my belly. If I did, this was soothing and stopped it almost immediately. I did not get any stretch marks which was impressive to me. Yes, there is always a genetic component but family members did experience stretch marks and I did not. I largely attribute that to regular use of this belly butter. Towards the end of third trimester I layered Palmers cocoa butter over this to lock in the moisture. Added tip; be sure to apply this to your hips, thighs, and chest. These areas all are prone to stretch marks during pregnancy too!
