Stretch mark oil with a natural scent

I’m looking for any product recommendations for stretch mark oils with either non scented or a very soft natural coconut type scent to them.

I have been using bio oil but the smell is so overpowering it’s making my nausea worse, I could tolerate it in my first pregnancy however this time it’s just too strong.

Try the burts bees mama oil if you can handle lemon! It's meant to be one of the scents to help nausea.

Hyaluronic acid is great for stretch mark prevention, pregnancy safe and scent free.

Argan oil - i hardly had any marks and I put it down to that (might just be a fluke mind)

I second the hyaluronic acid, it really is perfect for stretch marks

The Neal's Yard Mother's Balm is unscented, and really lovely. My stretch marks appeared in the last month of pregnancy when I'd unfortunately run out of it!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news here, but you can't stop stretch marks. You are either predisposed to get them, or you're not.
Any moisturiser will help with the appearance but you can't stop them. X

Yep, what @DelilahBucket said ^^

Moisturise if you want to, but a cheap one will do, as nothing will prevent stretch marks if you're genetically predisposed to them.

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations, I will be sure to try them.

Luckily I didn’t get anything the first time around and oiled twice a day so fingers crossed same goes this time

I used ordinary olive oil from the cupboard and it worked well, but as a PP said it does depend if you are predisposed to stretch marks. If you are looking for a coconut scent buy a jar of coconut oil, which can be used for baby massage later if there is any left.
