    Hi Ladies,

    I recently got palmers cocoa butter in a jar (yellowish color) for reducing stretch marks... But, I felt butter is on heavy side (thick)...

    Can you please suggest if cream or lotion or butter which is good?

    Hey anitha,

    I used palmer's lotion through my pregnancy...I did end up with stretch marks anyway, but they weren't very visible. I have heard this Amazon.com: Bio-Oil, 2-Ounce Bottle: Beauty is helpful in keeping stretch marks to the minimum, although I haven't tried it myself.

    Generally, cream is better than lotion, especially if you are living in a place that has harsh winters and dry air. It keeps your skin moisturized better than a lotion.

    The thicker the cocoa butter the better.
