Palmer’s and Pregnancy: The Cocoa Butter Formula for Stretch Marks

Because of cocoa butter’s ability to condition and nourish the skin, it has become a well-known ingredient that is effective for reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks. It’s all thanks to cocoa butter’s moisturising properties that keep the skin hydrated, soft and smooth and can help to prevent stretch marks and heal already stretched skin. 

Palmer’s took their classic Cocoa Butter Formula and used it to create a pregnancy care range for mum and bump including their top seller Tummy Butter. This specially formulated night time treatment includes cocoa and Shea butters and relaxing lavender extract that provides intense moisture to the stomach where stretch marks are most likely to occur and appear most prominently. 

Palmer’s also understands that stretch marks can appear in different parts of the body during pregnancy and not just on the stomach. Though the stomach is the most common area for stretch marks, they can also occur on the thighs, breasts and hips, which is why their Massage Cream and Massage Lotion are designed to be used all over the body to help prevent the possibility of stretch marks and reduce dryness and itchiness associated with stretching skin through pregnancy. Their formulas are enriched with Shea butter, cocoa butter and vitamin E to nourish and hydrate the skin, while added collagen and elastin helps to improve the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
