To best control the appearance of pregnancy stretch marks, treating them at the onset of pregnancy is key. Using a moisturizer rich in ingredients like Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, gently moisturizes the skin and aids in fading stretch marks. (See full ingredient deck below with benefits).

The more elasticity your skin has, the less likely you are to develop stretch marks. Additionally, lifestyle habits, including eating well and exercising regularly, also promote skin health and elasticity.

As the baby grows during pregnancy, the middle layer of skin (the dermis) becomes stretched and fractured, particularly in the belly area. This generally occurs around the end of the second trimester into the start of the third trimester. Post-delivery, as the skin contracts the appearance of stretch marks may become more apparent.

For expecting and postpartum mothers, skin softness, elasticity, and moisture are key. Our Belly Butter houses premium ingredients like Shea and Cocoa butter, and Avocado oil that do just that, along with Aloe, Vitamin E oil, and sunflower oil.

Application: For best results, apply a generous portion to damp skin, daily after a shower or bath. To mitigate stretch marks, apply directly to areas that are prone to stretch marks, such as the stomach, thighs, bottom, hips, arms and chest. To maintain moisture and hydration, use Belly Butter daily. Please be mindful, our Belly Butter is a light and airy moisturizer and therefore, temperature sensitive. For maximum performance, butter must be stored in a cool and dry space at all times.
