Palmer’s Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks

Republished: January 25, 2025

Stretch marks. They’re like the uninvited guests of pregnancy that no one wants to talk about but everyone worries about. During my fourth pregnancy, at 18 weeks, I decided to combat them head-on with daily massages using a stretch mark cream. Spoiler alert: I found my holy grail product—but not without a bit of trial and error first.

You can read about my experience with the Clicks Stretch Mark Cream in my post here. Let’s just say that cream and I were not friends! It left my skin dry, itchy, and peeling—everything you don’t want when you’re growing a human.

But then, I discovered Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks in a pump bottle, and wow, what a turnaround!

Why I Loved Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion

This lotion is packed with nourishing, skin-loving ingredients:

• Cocoa Butter Research has shown that ingredients like cocoa butter and Vitamin E may aid in improving skin elasticity and hydration (source).
• Shea Butter
• Argan Oil
• Almond Oil
• Bio C-Elaste (Collagen, Elastin, and Centella Asiatica)
• Vitamin E

It’s also free from parabens, phthalates, and dyes, making it gentle and safe for pregnancy. You can learn more about the ingredients and benefits on the Palmer’s official website.

My Experience

After just a few days of using Palmer’s, my skin felt smooth, nourished, and strong. The dryness and itchiness caused by the previous cream vanished. My skin was incredibly moisturized, which made a massive difference as my bump continued to grow.

And the best part? After four pregnancies of faithfully massaging this lotion into my skin every day, I don’t have a single stretch mark!

The only downside? The pump bottle is made from sturdy plastic, which makes it tricky to get the last bit out. My solution? Grab a pair of sharp kitchen scissors and cut the bottle in half to scoop out every last drop. No cream left behind!

Would I Recommend It?

Absolutely. If you’re looking for a stretch mark cream that actually works, smells amazing, and feels like a spa treatment in a bottle, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks is it.
