Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Massage Cream, 125g

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Massage Cream is formulated specifically for the skin areas that expand most rapidly during pregnancy - the abdomen, breasts, hips, and thighs. The rich Cocoa Butter base deeply moisturizes and maintains skin suppleness, while Vitamin E supports the antioxidant protection of skin under mechanical stretching stress, and added Collagen and Elastin proteins support the structural skin components most involved in stretch mark development.

Benefits

• Cocoa Butter is one of the most richly emollient natural fats available, with a melting point near skin temperature - it softens immediately on contact and provides a lasting occlusive barrier that maintains the skin hydration and suppleness needed to resist stretch mark formation under rapid expansion
• Vitamin E tocopherol provides lipid-soluble antioxidant protection to the skin tissue experiencing the greatest mechanical stress during pregnancy, supporting cell membrane integrity during the rapid cell division needed to accommodate skin expansion
• Regular massage application during pregnancy enhances local blood flow and lymphatic drainage to the massaged areas, which independently supports skin health and tissue nutrition alongside the cream's active ingredients
• The preventive benefit of starting early (ideally from the first trimester) and applying consistently throughout pregnancy is greater than treatment after stretch marks have formed - established stretch marks require more intensive treatment options
• Palmer's century-long history with Cocoa Butter in maternal skin care provides the product confidence and heritage that new mothers value when choosing skin care during pregnancy

How to Use

• Apply to the abdomen, breasts, hips, and thighs from the first trimester of pregnancy
• Massage thoroughly into the skin in circular motions until absorbed
• Apply twice daily - morning and evening - for best results
• Continue use after delivery for several months as the skin returns to its previous size
• Safe for use throughout pregnancy
• Can be applied to any area of the body where stretch marks are a concern, including areas associated with rapid weight change rather than pregnancy alone
