Tummy Butter for Stretch Marks

No cream can guarantee you won't get stretch marks, and none can erase them. Genetics, hormones and how quickly your body grows play the biggest role. What Tummy Butter does is keep stretching skin deeply hydrated and supple and help prevent itchiness, and with continued hydration it helps minimize the look of stretch marks during and after pregnancy.

As your belly grows, skin stretches quickly and loses moisture, which leaves it dry and itchy. A rich, fragrance-free butter helps. Tummy Butter combines cocoa butter and shea with nourishing plant oils like tamanu, rosehip, avocado and sweet almond to deeply hydrate and calm itchy, stretching skin. Apply twice daily and whenever you feel itchy. If itching becomes intense, especially on your palms or the soles of your feet, check in with your OB/GYN or midwife.

As a registered nurse and founder of The Spoiled Mama, I recommend looking for cocoa butter, shea butter, tamanu oil and rosehip oil, which help support skin hydration and elasticity during pregnancy. Hyaluronic acid is another well-studied hydrator. Our OB/GYN-recommended Tummy Butter combines cocoa butter, shea, tamanu and rosehip in a pregnancy-safe formula free of petroleum, salicylic acid, parabens, and synthetic fragrance.

Yes. Topical cocoa butter is considered safe to use during pregnancy and is commonly used to help moisturize skin as it stretches. The Spoiled Mama Tummy Butter combines cocoa butter, shea butter, tamanu oil, and other nourishing botanicals in an OB/GYN-recommended formula designed for pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding. It contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, parabens, or synthetic fragrance.

Belly butter and belly oil work differently and often complement each other. Belly butter provides rich, long-lasting moisture that helps support the skin barrier, while belly oil absorbs quickly and helps improve skin softness and flexibility. For best results, apply Bump Gloss Stretch Mark Oil to slightly damp skin first, then seal in hydration with Tummy Butter. Both products are formulated for pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding.

The earlier, the better. As a registered nurse, I recommend beginning in the first trimester, before significant stretching begins. Applying a pregnancy-safe moisturizer daily to your belly, hips, breasts, and thighs helps keep skin hydrated as it expands. Genetics play the biggest role in whether stretch marks develop, but consistent moisturization can help support skin comfort and elasticity throughout pregnancy.

Many OB/GYNs and midwives recommend keeping stretching skin well-moisturized during pregnancy. The Spoiled Mama Tummy Butter was formulated by Registered Nurse (RN) Tamara Johnson and is OB/GYN-recommended for pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding. It is made without retinoids, salicylic acid, parabens, or synthetic fragrance, ingredients many expectant mothers choose to avoid during pregnancy.

Yes. Tummy Butter is formulated for pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding. Continuing to moisturize after delivery helps support skin as it recovers from months of stretching. Once your C-section incision has fully healed and your healthcare provider has cleared you, Tummy Butter can also be applied to the surrounding skin to help keep it moisturized and supple. Always follow your OB/GYN's recommendations before applying any skincare product to a healing incision or scar.
