Best Nest Wellness, Mama Body Balm, Intensive Moisturizer, Organic, Stretch Mark Belly Butter Cream, 4 Ounce, Shine So Bright Sweet Orange Scent

AMAZING!!!!Ok, I am always impressed with Best Nest, let me just put that out there. This belly butter is no different. It's free from all of the icky ingredients that I like to avoid, is top quality, and impresses me just as much as their other products.The first thing I noticed? The ingredients. I am a label reader. I like to know what I am putting in and on my body and when I see a bunch of ingredients that are known carcinogens, petrochemicals, etc- I say no to putting it on my own body, but especially when I am growing another one inside me! Did you know that they have found over 200 chemicals present in the cord blood of babies tested during a study? You don't have to worry about that with this belly butter. Nothing artificial. No dyes, preservatives, and no synthetic scents- just awesome ingredients like calendula, cocoa butter, coconut oil, and more.Next, I opened it... and I was PLEASANTLY surprised by the delicious scent. Something that has been lacking since I cut harmful toxins? All of those scents. I won't lie, I miss them. But, I don't have to anymore. This belly butter smells to me like chocolate orange. In fact, the first thing my husband said when he walked into the room after I had applied it was, " it smells like Christmas in here.. what IS that?!" because one stocking stuffer we never go without is those awesome foil wrapped chocolate oranges that you give a good smack and then enjoy. It's just like that.Now, I will say that you know that you've applied it. It isn't one of those "dry touch" per se applications where you rub it on, rub it in and then you can't even tell it's there. But, it also doesn't leave an exceptionally greasy trail that makes a mess of your clothes either (so many others do). It's enough to feel the moisturizing going on while still leaving a clean feel.Which brings me to my final point...the moisturizing. I have been completely itch free since starting this. I only apply once a day so far immediately after my shower (your skin can soak it up much better if applied within the first minutes of being out) and it keeps me itch free the entire day. I can't speak to the stretch marks though- this is my fourth kiddo so I have been there, done that and STILL have the marks to prove it.So, if you're looking for yourself or to gift a belly cream that is free of toxins, smells good, ACTUALLY works- buy THIS! You (or the momma you gift it to) will NOT be disappointed.Some other things to consider? It's organic, non- gmo, vegetarian friendly, and MADE IN THE USA!Enjoy!!

I have been using this since my third month of pregnancy (after being disappointed by another brand) and I’m now I’m about eight months along. I’m debating on buying my third jar or finding a different brand, but I will probably stick with this one for the sake of consistency.I absolutely love the smell. It smells like oranges and chocolate from the cocoa butter and orange oil. My husband doesn’t like it, but I’m not offended by it in any way. I also love the thick waxy texture. The previous brand I used, marketed as a belly butter, was basically just body lotion. This belly butter is like a thick waxy balm that melts into the skin.Up until now, I went my entire pregnancy with no stretch marks. Just in the last couple of weeks, I’ve finally noticed several small stretch marks on my belly. I’ve used this product religiously everyday and I can’t fault it too much, since there are other factors that go into getting stretch marks. My point is, will this product 100% prevent stretch marks? No, at least not for everyone. I am thankful for all the months I went stretchmark free using this. I do have some old stretch marks on my hips and this product has done nothing to make them less noticeable.As far as cons go, price is a big one. While I do appreciate the quality of ingredients in this product, I don’t entirely think it is worth the price. Since my belly grew so much since getting my second jar, I have run though it pretty fast. Also, when I first started using this I developed a small rash. The rash eventually went away and I haven’t had any issues since. However, I cannot use this product on my breasts. Every time I have tried, my entire chest breaks out in blackheads and pimples overnight.

I like the consistency of this belly butter, but the smell is awful. It claims to be a chocolate orange smell, but it doesn't smell that way to me. I used the whole jar because I liked the consistency, but every morning the smell was enough to make me gag.

This absolutely worked to prevent my pregnancy related stretch marks!!!!!! I absolutely love and back this product! I researched what I could use and found this. The second I knew I was pregnant I bought this and rubbed it on my stomach morning and night or after a shower (if I took one during the day or something). Every single day!!! I never got a single stretch mark on my stomach. You may blame genetics but let me tell you I literally got stretch marks everywhere I didn’t put this on. My boobs look terrible and I even got marks behind my knee (?????) but not one on my stomach. I gained 40lbs so can’t speak to if you gain significantly more. Seriously I swear by this. I used 1 container for the first and most of second trimester however I needed another 2 the third trimester when I really started popping. Worth the money!! Don’t @ me if this doesn’t work but seriously if you use it twice a day and after washes (basically keep the area hydrated) you should be fine. I also used a belly holder thing cause my back hurt with the added weight and there is a slight chance that helped prevent stretch marks too since not just my skin supported stomach.

Is it the product or me? I’ve never had an allergic reaction to a product before in my life. However, after using this for about a week my belly became super itchy by the middle of the day. At first I thought it was just skin stretching for my baby belly but when I skipped using this product The itch disappeared ..... used it again it itched again .... stopped and the itch was gone. Personally I like the smell but I’m tossing the product due to the itch reaction.
