Alternative to Palmer's Cocoa Butter?

[blanche]

So, I bought some of this yesterday at Target to get in the habit of lotioning up to help prevent at least some marks. I should have figured out by the name, but the stuff smells like chocolate. I despise chocolate and the smell of it makes me incredibly sick (let's not mention super nose and morning sickness too). So much so, I had a violent reaction the first time I went to Hershey, PA because the whole town smells of chocolate. So, what else can I use that DOES NOT smell like chocolate?? Any suggestions?

I liked the earth mama angel baby belly oil last time. I don't think it smelled as strongly as cocoa butter (I tried shea butter, cocoa butter, and almond oil last time and the smell all made me gag; this one didn't)

I use this stuff from Morning Song Gardens that I first bought from a small booth at a local fair. It's an Ohio business but they do ship (free over $50). www.morningsonggardens.com/

I love the Bee Balm cream, it comes in a lot of scents and a little goes a long way. I get super dry hands in the winter but I plan to use it for this pregnancy too - my boobs especially always get insanely itchy, and with DD my belly did too towards the end.

Since stretch marks are more genetic than anything else, I would recommend just using any lotion you're comfortable with. They're not going to prevent stretch marks, but they do help with the itching.

BASQ is great, but expensive. Try coconut oil if you don't mind the smell.

I heard plain ol' coconut oil works too.

I use refined coconut oil (doesn't smell/taste like coconut). I'm obsessed with Nivea lotion right now though. The dry to extra dry lotion. Effing amazing. I'm in northern BC, so no humidity and this stuff makes my skin feel like silk. It was great when I was pregnant with DD

blanche ...ok...first off...I've NEVER heard of anyone not liking the smell of chocolate...I'm very concerned about this...

Second...I've heard coconut oil too. I actually use it often on my body instead of lotion.

Lurking from O15. I use Mama Mio Tummy Rub Oil. It smells good and it works!

Edit to also say - my DD was drinking a chocolate shake awhe back and the smell made me want to hurl. I normally love chocolate but not in this pg.
