This body oil has been a staple for me during pregnancy. I got it first trimester for keeping my belly and other dry areas moist. I had very sensitive smell issues and could not use a lot of typical products because of their scent. This body oil is light and lemony--not over-powering at all. I even use it all over my legs after shaving. It was one of few products that didn't trigger nausea for me 1st trimester. On another note--I switch between this oil and the Burt's belly balm for my stomach/chest and in my 9 months of pregnancy I have seen NO stretch marks! Read my belly balm review.
This is a great body oil. It moisterizes my skin really well. The only negative is that you have to let this dry / soak into your skin before putting on clothes because of the oily residue.
This product smells so sweet and really has helped me with my pregnancy it leaves my legs, arms and stomach silky smooth and soft plus the delicious smell its very relaxing
My skin absorbs this really well! I use it before cheer competetions or after a shower to lock in moisture, when im at competitions my whole body glows! i love it! All of my friends and even my coaches asked and i always tell them. Burts Bees is the best.
I wrote a review about the 'mama foot cream' and I mentioned I use these two products together. For me the oil absorbs very quickly and the softness of my skin is like nothing I have ever experienced. The aroma from the oil is relaxing and I carry this with me every day. You won't be disappointed by this product I promise! As I mentioned I do hot yoga and suffer from very dry skin but these two products help close out my meditation session and keep me feeling relaxed and beautiful after class.
I purchased the product after reading all the rave reviews online but was disappointed. After using the oil I smelled like lemondrops and had to stand naked for about 5-7 mins so the oil would dry so I wouldn't ruin my clothes. I used it after my shower before going to bed and the entire night by body felt sticky and greasy- not fun for me or my husband. My skin was soft in the morning but not worth the issues at night.
The quest for a better product for my growing belly continues...
I love everything of Burts. This mama bee is great. Im due any day now and I've been using this since I got prego. I will use it after I give birth. Its so great for your skin. I love it!!!
I really like this stuff for my prego belly & body. I love the smell and it makes the skin feel very soft. Cheapo cocoa butter stuff was reacting with all my crazy hormones and making me break out. All natural is the way to go. The only draw back is that it takes a minute or so to absorb all the way, and I'm never sure if/when it's safe to put clothes on without the clothes just soaking up the oil off my skin. Overall, I love the product :)
I love the Mama Bee Nourishing Body Oil! In the summer it makes a great after shower oil from a day in the sun. My skin did not peel this year after our beach vacation. In the winter it is a great way to keep skin hydrated. I apply my favorite body lotion on top of the Mama Bee Body Oil. Great product!!
Makes skin feel sooo soft; helps soothe the itchy belly as it stretches. Has a slight lemony scent but I don't walk around feeling like a cleaning product (as I kind of did with the regular BB body oil). I've been using it almost daily for two weeks and am quite pleased with the results.
THis is very easily absorbed into the skin and smells great! It does not leave a greasy residue and has never affected my clothes. I love it! It really has kept my pregnant belly soft and smooth.
I used this product about 3 times a week during my pregnancy and I never got stretch marks or any uncomfortable tightening or itching of the skin. The smell is fantastic and soothing and the oil is great for massages as well.
