Cocoa Butter Formula Tummy Butter Reviews

My tummy and breasts are growing at a rapid rate now I'm in the second trimester. At first, I thought this was great, even if it is a solid block, it spreads evenly. But by the third night in, I woke up with my skin feeling like it was on fire. I'm left with red itchy skin today and feeling very uncomfortable. I wouldn't' recommend this product to anyone with the risk of this happening, there are enough body changes as we go through to pregnancy. Really disappointed :(

Firstly - I think stretch marks are genetically dictated upon so if you're prone to them, there's nothing that will stop the inevitable from occurring. BUT you can minimise the severity of them and I think this product does that.

Yes - it does leave a greasy film but that also ensures your skin remains topically moisturised. If you leave the tin in a cold place, it can harden making application harder so you have to warm the product to make spreadability easier.

Ideally, it would be a little less oily and more spreadable but maybe the formula is as it has to be since I haven't gotten any new stretch marks yet. I prefer tubes but I'm guessing it would be hard to squeeze a product with this consistency out. I wear dark colours so the fact that it doesn't absorb fully doesn't bother me too much much but it might be a more significant issue depending on the tops you wear.

The price point is accessible - considering you have a relatively large surface area to cover, it's good to know you don't have to spend $$$ for another tin if or when you run out.

I tried this product when i was pregnant as i got a little tube in my mums goodies bag. I found this cream very good as it is very rich and thick especially for dry skin . When you massage this cream it really works well leaving skin so smooth also the fragrance of the butter is very yummy it smells like chocolate. My kids like the smell as they say its like chocolate. The proce is little high. It is available in many drug stores and supermarkets. After trying this belly butter which i also used on my hands, i bought the palmers body lotion which was also very good. So i would say that i love this product

This is truly rich and dense just as promised by the description. It has the classic Palmer's chocolatey scent to it which some people love, but not me personally. Not much is needed to rub around the tummy and it does soften up a lot as it's warmed and melted by the warmth of the skin. It claims to have lavender in it but I can't smell it - I only can smell that chocolately scent.

It feels highly moisturising and hydrating and I can feel it's presence long after I've rubbed it in. It's not the feeling I personally like as it's quite heavy and saturating but if you are after something very rich this might be the body butter for you.

It's aptly named a 'butter'. It sinks into the skin within a few minutes but I can feel it's residue the whole time it is on. I don't have stretch marks but have a sample of this so I thought I'd try it out!

I bought this product when I was about 3 months into my second pregnancy and its lasted me right to the end. At first I thought it was a bit too thick but it melts into the skin really nicely. The smell is delicious and I find that my skin feels super soft, smooth and hydrated. Following the directions I apply twice a day (morning and night). I have found that I have not gotten any more stretch marks (this could just be because my body has already been stretched out before so I can't for sure say that it's the product working). I did expect my old stretch marks to darken up again as they have been re stretched but surprisingly they have stayed silver so I'd like to think the hydrating ingredients in this product have helped.

This is a really nice product that I would repurchase again.

I started with some other product during the first trimester but then switched to Palmer's coco butter after having received a sample in my bounty bag at the pre-natal clinic.

The main reason for switching the product was that my skin had suddenly turned very sensitive and started reacting to some chemical in the one that I was using. Besides, the sample smelled really nice and felt more natural.

The big disappointment came in when I opened the container and it smelled nothing like the sample. I wouldn't even call it a fragrance. It smelled more like raw cocoa. It was also much tougher and greasy than what I had tried.
Anyway, I still decided to give it a go and apart from the fragrance part, it turned out to be a decent product. Left my skin bit greasy but was a great help with the itching. I could have never slept as peacefully without this belly butter. My skin would hardly ever get dry and felt soft.

I still got quite a few stretch marks but there is no product (so far as I know) can guarantee against it. The good part is, with little help from bio-oil, the marks started fading away pretty quickly after the delivery.

I started using this very early on in my pregnancy along with the Palmers massage lotion for stretch marks. I mainly used it on my stomach and thighs. Its very thick and hard to remove from the tub, was also a little greasy. Had a subtle lavender fragrance. Although I didnt get any stretch marks following my pregnancy, I much prefer the massage lotion for stretch marks and Bio Oil.

The smell can be a little too strong esp during summer and one is sweating. I'm prone to stretch marks so didn't really see a difference. It however kept my belly quite moist and free from itch.

At first I was hesitant to try this Tummy Butter due to mixed reviews on BH and other sites. But I have always liked the Palmer's brand and decided to buy this when it was on special. I have to say this has become one of my trusty products for my first pregnancy!

The Tummy Butter comes in a plastic round tub and the butter is a hard, yellow-ish substance. At first I wasn't too sure how to get the butter out of the tub as it was solid, but I've learnt to warm up the butter with my fingers and it's much easier that way. You only need a little bit, you put it on your belly and rub it in when your body heat melts it. It smells a bit like white chocolate!

I always moisturise twice daily, even before pregnancy. But since I got pregnant, I now use 3 products in each moisturising routine. I use body oil, body moisturiser and then this Tummy Butter. I'm in my 3rd trimester now and so far my skin is soft, smooth and stretchmark-free.

Having said that though, bear in mind that stretchmarks are often genetically-related and can be caused by hormone changes, drastic weight gain and other factors. I knew that if I were to get stretchmarks, no creams in the world could help! But my skin has indeed become drier during pregnancy, and this Tummy Butter definitely helps and now I don't get itchy skin flaking/eczema.
