Belly Care
A cream for the skin that stretches most through pregnancy and after. As the belly, hips and chest grow, the skin pulls tight and itches. A thick layer worked in each evening softens that pull and leaves the area supple. The 120g jar covers the growing areas twice a day across the weeks, with a rich texture that absorbs into damp skin so you can dress soon after.

Rich Texture
Up close, the cream is rich and thick, the kind you scoop and warm between the palms before working it over the belly and hips. It sinks into damp skin rather than sitting on top, so the tight, itchy feeling eases without a greasy film left behind. A minute of massage each evening turns the step into part of winding down, conditioning the skin where it pulls most.

Daily Step
Used as part of a daily routine, the cream goes on twice a day: a layer at night by the bed, and a second on still-damp skin after a warm shower. The 120g jar lasts long enough to make that habit easy to keep up through pregnancy and into the postpartum months, when the same areas are recovering. Close the lid fully and keep the jar out of direct heat.


Why this product
A thick, comforting body cream on a cocoa and shea butter base that you massage over the belly, hips and chest to keep stretching skin feeling soft.
Made for the whole stretch, from the growing bump through the months after, kept simple as one soothing step morning and night.
The texture is rich without a greasy film, so it absorbs into damp skin after a shower and lets you pull on clothes a few minutes later.
A 120g, four ounce white jar with a screw lid, enough cream to cover the changing areas twice a day across the weeks.
How it works
Use it on clean skin, ideally after a warm shower while the skin is still slightly damp. Scoop a little of the rich cream from the jar and warm it between your palms so it spreads soft and even.
Work a thick layer into the belly, hips and chest with slow circles, taking a minute over the spots that feel most tight. The rich cream massages in soft, so a little covers a wide area.
Give it a moment to absorb into the damp skin. Because it sinks in without a greasy film, you can pull on your clothes a few minutes later without it marking the fabric.
Repeat the soothing step in the morning and again before bed, and carry the same habit on into the postpartum months over the areas that are still recovering.
Benefits
Massaged into stretching skin, the rich cream soothes the tight, itchy pull over the belly, hips and chest and helps the area feel soft and comfortable.
Built on cocoa and shea butter, it feels richer and more comforting than a thin watery lotion, conditioning the surface so the skin feels supple rather than taut.
It works into damp skin without leaving a greasy film, so you can dress a few minutes after applying and it does not mark your clothes through the day.
Made for the whole stretch, from the growing bump through the recovering skin afterward, kept simple as one soothing step you can keep up each day.
The 120g white jar holds enough cream to cover the changing areas twice a day across the weeks, and the screw lid keeps the rich texture protected between uses.

I was worried a butter this rich would be greasy but it really does sink into damp skin after my shower. I can get dressed a few minutes later and it does not mark my clothes. I work it over my belly and hips morning and night. The jar is a good size and lasts.
Kept using it after my little one arrived because the skin on my tummy still felt tight and needed softening. The thick cream is lovely to massage in and my skin feels supple rather than taut. I keep the jar right by the bed so I never forget the evening layer.
A little goes a long way and my skin feels soft and comfortable where it used to feel itchy and tight. The cocoa and shea butter smell is mild which I prefer. Took half a star off only because I wish the jar were a touch bigger, but it does last with twice daily use.
The tight, itchy feeling over my growing bump was the worst in the evenings, and working this cream in really takes the edge off and leaves the skin feeling supple. It is rich and creamy and massages in nicely. I do my belly, hips and chest each night before bed.
Picked this up for my wife in her third trimester and she loves it. She says the thick cream feels soothing on her belly and keeps the skin soft. The jar looks clean and simple on the shelf and a scoop covers a lot. A nice, thoughtful little thing to bring home.
I use it morning and night like the page says and my stretching skin feels much more comfortable through the day. It is rich but not sticky once it sinks in. The only thing is I go through it with twice daily use, so I ordered a second jar to keep in the bathroom.
Taking a minute to massage this into my belly each evening has become a calm little ritual. The cream is thick and smooth and the skin feels soft and conditioned afterward. It absorbs well into damp skin too. I look forward to this step before bed now.
My skin gets reactive and this has been gentle and comforting rather than irritating. The cocoa and shea butter base feels nourishing and the scent is soft. I work it over the areas that feel tight twice a day. Pleased I found a rich cream that my skin is happy with.
This is a proper rich body cream, not a thin lotion, so a thin layer is plenty. It soothes the tight feeling over my hips and belly and the skin feels supple after. Sinks into damp skin nicely. I keep it simple, just this one step morning and night, and it suits me.
Through the last months of my pregnancy my belly skin felt stretched and tight, and this cream kept it feeling soft and supple. The thick texture is comforting to massage in and a jar lasts a good while. The gentle cocoa scent is a nice bonus at the end of the day.
Bought this for my partner and she reaches for it every evening. She likes that it is rich and soothing on her growing bump and that it sinks in instead of sitting greasy. The white jar is simple and a scoop spreads over a wide area. Glad it has worked out so well.
Lovely rich cream that feels comfortable rather than tight on stretching skin. I massage it over my belly and hips after my shower and it works into the damp skin well. Mild scent, no greasy film. Just wish the jar lasted a little longer with twice daily use, otherwise lovely.
I keep one jar by the bed and use it morning and night over the areas that feel tight. The thick cocoa and shea butter cream massages in soft and the skin feels conditioned and comfortable. It has made the tight, itchy feeling much easier to live with. Will reorder.
I struggled with the tight feeling over my bump at night and this has been a real comfort. A thick layer worked in slowly eases the pull and the skin feels soft instead of taut. It absorbs well so I can settle into bed soon after. Such a simple, soothing step.
My skin gets dry and this rich butter feels nourishing without being greasy once it settles into damp skin. I use it over my belly and hips twice a day and the skin stays soft and comfortable. A small scoop covers a lot, so the jar is lasting longer than I expected.
Easy to scoop, easy to massage in, sinks into damp skin. I keep it on the bathroom shelf and use it after my morning shower and again before bed. The skin over my bump feels softer and less tight. A nice simple cream that does what I wanted without any fuss.
Bought it partly because the plain white jar looked clean and simple, but the cream itself won me over. Thick, rich and soothing on my stretching skin, with a soft cocoa scent. It massages in well and leaves the skin supple. Has earned a permanent spot by my bed.
I wear it most days now, morning and night, and the stretching skin over my belly and hips stays comfortable rather than tight. The cocoa and shea butter base feels rich and it does not sit heavy once it sinks in. The jar is well made and easy to scoop from.
The thing I notice most is how it eases that tight, stretched feeling over my bump in the evenings. A rich layer massaged in and the skin feels soft and soothed. It sinks into damp skin so I am not waiting around before bed. Would happily buy it again for the postpartum months.
After my shower I scoop a bit of this and massage it over my belly and hips before bed. It has become automatic now. Rich, comforting cream, gentle scent, sinks into damp skin. The white jar looks neat on my bedside table and a scoop spreads over a wide area easily.
I like that it keeps things simple, one rich cream massaged in morning and night. It eases the tight feeling over my partner's bump and keeps her skin soft and supple. The cocoa and shea butter base feels comforting and it sinks in rather than sitting greasy. A solid little jar.
This is a body cream made for the skin that changes most through pregnancy and the months after. As the belly, hips and chest stretch, the skin pulls tight and starts to itch. A thick layer of cream worked in each evening softens that pull and leaves the area feeling supple instead of taut.
The cream comes in a 120 g size, enough to cover the growing areas twice a day across the weeks. The texture is rich without being greasy, so it sinks into damp skin after a shower and lets you pull on clothes a few minutes later.
Best for: expecting and new mothers who want to keep stretching skin soft and comfortable.
It is a rich moisturising stretch mark cream. Skin that stretches through pregnancy feels tight and itchy, and a deeply nourished surface feels calmer, softer and more comfortable.
Worked in morning and night, the cream conditions the belly, hips and chest as they grow, helping the skin stay soft, supple and elastic through pregnancy and the months after. It is the daily ritual mums keep up to look after skin that is stretching and changing.

I started using this around the middle of my pregnancy when my belly began to feel really tight at night. A thick layer massaged in eases that pulling feeling and my skin feels soft afterward. The cocoa butter smell is gentle, not strong. It has become my little evening wind down.
