Beware!! Palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks (lighthearted)

I was using and have been for a long time just normal Palmers coco butter but whilst shopping yesterday I came across the one for stretch marks.

This morning after my shower I put it on, the smell was amazing! It smells like chocolate. Now I have never been a big fan of chocolate until being pregnant, but I could have taken the top of this bottle and drank it down in one lol. I have been able to smell it all day, just delicious!

Not sure if its going to stop stretch marks but I don't care lol

So beware all chocoholics, if your craving chocolate steer clear of Palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks

Oh my god I can't bear the smell - far too sickly. I bought the one labelled "lightly scented". Lightly my arse, it stinks

ooh i think i need to get some! where can you get it?

I panicked when I read the thread title as I've been using this...my first was 'oh no, what's wrong with it'!!! Its a lovely lovely product, the smell is gorgeous..only problem I find is its a bit sticky if u get dressed straight away or put a nightie on over the top!!
But hey, so far so good, no stretch marks yet and I know a few new mums who have used this and they were stretch mark free too so a thumbs up from me

thought

Peacenquiet2 · 09/09/2013 16:02

I used this with both my dcs and will use it again this time
Despite having a nine and half pounder ds i dont have a single stretch mark and i agree the smell is heavenly!

Stom91 - I got mine from Wilkinson's, but I think they sell it everywhere

blondebaby111 - sorry for the scare x

I hope we all continue to be stretchmark free x

Thanks I'll have a lookout :)

It smells disgusting.......I gave all of mine away as I couldn't bare the smell or the texture of it

mumoftwoboysS · 10/09/2013 10:27

I found the smell too strong! Ive got the fragrance free palmers cocoa butter for those who find the original overpowering. It's great- it still has a very faint smell but far nicer!

TheSlug · 10/09/2013 10:37

I love this, I've been using it for a few months now. It smells and feels gorgeous!
