Anyone else have this problem?

I finally started using Palmer's Cocoa Butter.  I now the whole stretchmark thing is genetic but I figured I'd take make chances and at least stay moisturized.  Anyhow, after applying it twice to my whole torso (if you know what I mean).  I am completely itchy.  I have sensitive skin but never thought I'd be allergic to this.

I haven't tried Palmer's but when I was deciding on a lotion I made sure it was one that was made of natural ingredients and not containing any parabins. The one I decided on  - Jerger's Naturals Total Nurishments has been awesome for my extremly dry skin, I even use it on my face (since the face cream I was using contains some ingredients I am not comfortable using while pregnant).

I've been using Palmer's Cocoa Butter for years and have started to use it to try to combat stretch marks, but I've never had a reaction like that.  Idk if it's your skin or if it's your pregnant skin.  Maybe try something else?

I'm allergic to cocoa butter... it gives me a horrible, itchy rash.  Maybe you are allergic too!

I've been using this great oil by L'Occitane called Almonde Suplesse...you can get it at Sephora and on their website.  It's absolutely amazing and does wonders for stretch marks!  It's a little on the pricey side, BUT I've had the bottle for over a month, using it daily on BBB, and haven't even gone through 1/4 of the bottle....from reviews I've read, it lasts most people well over 4 months.  And the smell!!!  It's fantastic!!  And I have really uber sensitive skin and this stuff doesn't bother me at all.  Good luck finding something!

I had a horrible case of hives a few weeks ago, through the process of elimination I found Palmers to be the cause.  I haven't had any itching or hives since.  I switched to a regular genaric (i think up and up from target)coco butter and have had no problems.

Oh!  I love L'Occitane products.  I'll have to give it a try.  Thanks for the recommendation.
