I would have to say the best cocoa butter lotion stuff out there is The Body Shop line....
Not only do they have body/hand lotion, they have body butter ( for dryer skin) and the even have a roll on moisturizing stick that makes applying it very simple... It's recommended for pregnant mom's who do not want to have insightly stretch marks, and it really does trick because of it's easy use.
To top it off, the products are really cheap.... 5-16 bucks per product, depending on what it is... so it's affordable....
I personally, would never EVER buy skin care products offline, because you'll never be sure how they feel, or if you might get an allergic reaction to them... best bet, is to go into one of The Body Shop stores, try on the cocoa butter products, walk around, and see how the feel.
Hope you find the best products!

Cocoa butter lotion is okay, but there are lots of other ingredients to consider. When I was pregnant and after the birth of my daughter, I used Mary Kay's Visibly Fit Body Lotion. Now, I give it to all my pregnant girlfriends because I have NO stretchmarks and truly believe in the product 100%! As someone else stated, the key to successfully beating this battle is to use the lotion as soon as you get out of the shower in the morning and right before you go to bed at night. If you bathe at a different / multiple times a day, then be sure to apply it after you dry off.
They also recently came out with a new product called Even Complexion Essence. Though I haven't heard of it being used on stretchmarks, since it is supposed to help even out your skin tones, I would think it would work GREAT on stretchmarks, too. Heck, what have you got to loose?!! Let me know if you'd like more information on these items as I am happy to help.
Good luck and God bless!

properly, i in my view like shea butter creams yet I hate to be the single to make it easier to know that not one of the above will tutor you ways to no longer get stratch marks....stretch marks are led to with the aid of your skins elasticity that's an inherited trait.

Palmers is the best, but what ever you use, you have to make sure that you use it every day twice a day. I think that you should also remember to use it before bed, because that is when your skin repairs itself and that is when it can be absorbed the best.

I used Palmer's all through my pregnancy and a nurse suggested Strivectin (which I think you have to buy through Macy's or somewhere like that).
