Which brand of cocoa butter lotion is best to use to prevent pregnancy stretch marks?

Question: I know you have to use the real cocoa butter but I want to know the best brand if it works and where I can purchase it.

Answer: I used palmers for awhile but I just couldn't stand the smell so I switched to this stuff called Curel Pregnancy and Motherhood and it is absolutely amazing. It smells great too! I don't think it has cocoa butter in it but I use it twice a day and, at 35 weeks pregnant, I am still stretch mark free. : )
