I decided I was going to do everything possible to keep them from appearing! I did some research and found that ingredients like petroleum and mineral oil will not absorbs into your skin (sorry but Palmer's is full of this stuff) and therefore any cocoa butter will also not be absorbed. I searched everywhere for a natural stretch mark cream and a mom in one of my pregnancy classes recommended TUMMY BUTTER by SPOILED MAMA. It is hard to get- I mean you can only find it online unless you live in California. I bought a small jar because I wanted to see if it worked (and it is a lil expensive $27- but totally WORTH IT!). I have been using this since early on and swear by it. I also bought some for Christmas to help fade my sis stretch marks and so far so good.My OB even said that it was safe during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. I also make sure that I drink plenty of H2O and take Omega 3's daily to hydrate my body from the inside. My OB also mentioned that hot showers can be very drying so stay away and not to put soap on your tummy unless visibly dirty since many soaps containing drying ingredients. Good luck!!!
