I wanted to know if a tub of palmer's cocoa butter Tummy Butter would help fade the appearance of stretch marks on thighs and other parts of the body other than stomache? Thanks!

yes - but you have to apply it as recommened - I used it when I had my 2 year old but I forgot to put it on regularly and so my stretchmarks are still a little noticeable

According to all of the pregnancy and baby websites, there is nothing out there that will prevent or fade stretch marks. I believe the key is keeping your skin moisturized, no matter what you use. I'm six months pregnant and have been lucky so far....no stretch marks anywhere, but I use just the typical Bath & Body lotion all over everyday.

I spent heaps of money on stretch mark creams (including Palmers) and after a 10 pound baby I am now the proud owner of many silver railroad tracks all over my belly, thighs and breasts.
I read an article from a medical journal recently and it said that there is nothing that stops stretch marks, or reduces their appearance significantly. It is all based on hormones and your genes.
Some mums are lucky I suppose... no more bikinis for me!

Yes, probably , they just call it Tummy Butter to appeal to pregnant women, i used this stuff though and still got a ton of stretch marks after I had my daughter.

Cocoa butter is excellent for stretch marks...you may try vitamin E along with it. Hope this works for you.

It will fade scars and stretch marks anywhere. But it probably won't make them go away.
