Mambino Organics Oh Baby! Belly Butter, Belly Cream with Shea Butter for Pregnancy, Minimizes Stretch Marks, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Maternity Skin Care, 2.5 fl oz

I started using Mambino belly butter at 19 weeks, I use it once in the morning, sometimes in the middle of the day if my stomach starts to itch, then again in the evening before bed. In the evenings I usually just wear a sports bra and leave my stomach exposed to let it fully soak into my skin without cloths rubbing against it. The smell has a real citrus fruit scent and isn't too strong, nor does it ruin your clothes when rubbing against it throughout the day. This product has kept my stomach so moist, soft, smooth and strechmark free at 38 weeks! This is my first pregnancy and I totally expected to get a few, especially because I know genetics play a role, but I was totally proven wrong. This product was so great, at 30 weeks when i really started really stretching i started using the Mambino oil right after I rubber the belly butter into my skin. The oil glided on smoothly, smelled great and a little goes a long way... Overall I feel like this product saved my skin, I would totally recommend it to anyone!

I purchased this based on reviews on here. I found it to be not greasy - and wonder if the people that have said it is have used to much of it at a time? I tried to use it sparingly and found it soaked in and was fine to put clothes on pretty quickly after with no residue. The smell was ok - my husband didn't really like it. It was very citrus like - someone mentioned Body Shop type smell which I'd agree with. I don't mind it, it's very light. As to whether it works long term I will have to wait till my next pregnancy as this was my first and sadly I lost the baby. I'm very happy with it and love that it's all organic/natural etc so even on that alone and the non greasiness I would buy it again. UPDATE: Using it each day and as at 25 weeks pregnant no stretch marks at all. Love this stuff!

I have loved using the Mambino Belly Butter throughout my pregnancy. I'm currently 8 months pregnant. So far, I have not seen a single stretch mark, but of course I have been careful with other factors that may contribute as well (I've had very slow and steady weight gain, been careful about hydration, and taken Vitamin C daily). The butter smells wonderful, even my husband loves it. It melts really easily on the belly (baby's body heat helps), absorbs well, and leaves my skin feeling super soft. It is definitely pricier than other options, such as the Burt's Bees butter, but the clean ingredients and quality alone have made this worth it for me. Absolutely recommend.

Moisturizing but a bit too scented to use during pregnancy

I really love this belly balm. The texture is so smooth and soft, but solid enough so that it is not too oily. It feels just like a really good lip balm on my body. The ingredients are amazing so I couldn’t wait to try it! Oh, and the orange peel scent is not too strong but if you don’t like the smell of orange then this probably wouldn’t be for you. However!! Orange or citrus essential oils are known to promote the joy senses ;)

This product smells wonderful, the citrus scent makes it a lovely morning rub. It glides on and makes my skin feel very soft. I'm entering my fifth month and have been using this specific product for a month (I have been using different skin oils for my stomach since I got the plus symbol on the ept stick). Let's be honest ladies, stretch marks are what they are if you put on the baby weight swiftly &/or you are just genetically predisposed to get them you could swim in this product (or others) and STILL earn your tiger stripes. So I harbor no illusions that this product is the reason I am currently (note I say currently still have plenty of time to add to my stretch marks on my legs from growing tall quickly) stretch mark free. I live in Nevada and this is wonderful for moisturizing my skin and I know it helps keep my skin from itching like crazy as it stretches. I harbor no illusions that this cream is the reason I have not started getting stretch marks. I have a long torso and I have put on baby weight slowly and I can only hope that holds out. I didn't give this product 5 stars because of the price, there is no reason such a small amount should cost so much. I may buying in the future just because I like the smell, but I also know I can pick up a basic massage type oil or cocoa butter or shea butter and it will give me the same moisture level.

Love this cream for my big pregnant belly! I’m 37 weeks and also planning to use this postpartum. This is my third pregnancy and my belly seems bigger than the first 2. Lot more itching. This cream stops the itch! I use it twice, morning and night. I noticed if I forget to put it on it itches like crazy, but this cream immediately makes me feel better. I also think it’s working to help my belly be more elastic. And a BIG PLUS are the clean ingredients!!! Can’t get any better than these ingredients. To use, I scoop out little by little with my finger and apply on my stomach all around. By the time it’s time to rub it in, it softens from the warmth of my skin. I don’t scoop out all at once because it’s a pretty firm cream. After I rub in, I let it sit on my belly for 15-30 min before putting on a shirt just to let it absorb. It has not damaged any of my clothes. It’s a little hard to wash off hands after rubbing in but that means that’s a good thing. That means it’s on your stomach ALL DAY and will not move around. Love this stuff and high recommend

I'm due in 2 weeks and have been using this or the accompanying toning oil since about month 4ish. I know stretch marks are hereditary (and nobody has them in my family) so I wasn't too worried about them but figured better safe than sorry. My friend recommended this product and I do like it - it absorbs nicely, isn't greasy, lasts a long time, and has a nice scent (kind of a light orange). Whether or not it actually prevents stretch marks is still a question since I wasn't really expecting to get them anyway. BUT! Added bonus - I've also been using it on my chest and shoulders that tend to get a lot of sun and an occasional burn from being outside a lot in the summer (yes, I use sunscreen; I blame it on my Irish heritage). Normally I peel, but since using this butter, no peeling and the red from the sun fades within a couple days! So that itself is enough to make me reorder it. Happy with this product overall.
