The Honest Company Belly Balm
what parents are saying
I used through 2 pregnancies daily! Can be kind of oily so be careful with clothing. Works so well though (Jun 23, 2017)

Moms-to-be love this moisturizing balm for keeping belly itch at bay and preventing stretch marks. This hypoallergenic balm is made of blend of organic butters and oil to keep skin soft. It is certified organic and free of harmful chemicals so it’s safe for mom and baby. Caveat: the herbal aroma doesn’t pass the smell test for some sensitive sniffers.

I loved this belly balm with my first pregnancy and used it every day. I liked the smell, texture, and ingredients. Unfortunately, I believe it was discontinued and replaced with their new "Mama" line Jul 16, 2020

Used this product all throughout pregnancy. No stretch marks post delivery. Not sure if that was due to this product or lucky genetics but kept my belly moisturized! Apr 21, 2019

I'm not really sure if it helped or not. It tended to leave my skin tacky after application as well. It was a gift so I don't regret it, just wouldn't recommend it if asked Jan 11, 2019

I like all of the ingredients of this belly balm and even though the scent is strong I do enjoy it. My only complaint is that it is a little greasy and needs to dry before you can get dressed. Dec 27, 2018

This is really soothing and moisturizing for pregnancy, but the smell is a little annoying. I preferred to use plain coconut oil or the Burt’s Bees belly oil. Jul 07, 2018

I used this religiously while pregnant at night and loved it. I had zero stretch marks after my pregnancy. It is a little greasy, but I just wore an old shirt to bed and it worked great. Apr 13, 2018

This really soothes my belly in the last month or so. The smell was so-so but it did moisturize well. I already had stretch marks formed so it didn’t help in that aspect. Feb 18, 2018

The smell was terrible. I paid what I felt like was way to much for this and then couldnt even use it. Again the smell was just awful. The consistecy was ok. Nov 29, 2017

I've been using this since I found out I was pregnant, and I love it. Nov 14, 2017

I thought this worked great, but my husband was not a fan of the smell. If you don't mind essential oils, then it won't bother you. It is slightly more oily than other belly balms. Nov 02, 2017

Super moisturizing and kept stretch marks at bay! However it has the consistency of Vaseline, and it’s not easy to use once baby arrives and you have a baby on you constantly! Oct 25, 2017

I used this a lot while pregnant. It didn't really do anything, so I probably wouldn't buy it again for this pregnancy. Jul 16, 2017
- Paola A.

I wanted to like this but unfortunately I developed PUPPPs. I know it was from this because I used it on/off during my pregnancy & concluded this was the cause. On the plus, it smells good & soothing Jul 05, 2017

Left me feeling dry. I ended up with really bad dry skin the next morning after I applied this. Jun 28, 2017

It was okay, a little sticky but moisturizing. Didn't do anything for my stretch marks. Apr 06, 2017

I swear by this ointment! No stretch marks and I am 8 months pregnant! Helps with itching and absorbs quickly. Smell is OK. Feb 22, 2017

This was very greasy. I felt it left a residue on my skin. I honestly didn't use it long enough to see if it helped moisturize. Dec 07, 2016

Was given this as a gift. Not sure if it works as I am not prone to stretch marks to begin with. Aug 16, 2016

Smells good but gave me a rash and my belly started to itch after a few days of using this. Feb 19, 2016

I subscribe to the Honest Company bundle, and requested this during my pregnancy. It is a little bit greasy but definitely helped smooth out those stretch marks! I prefer the Burt's Bees one. Aug 19, 2014
So far it's helped the growing, itchy tummy Jul 29, 2014

This was one of the only products that relieved the itching on my belly and back, and soothed my chafed thighs. Herbal Smell may be an acquired taste for some, but I liked it Jul 29, 2014

I love this belly balm. It is much easier to apply and get out of the tub than other belly balms I have tried. It is oily, but comes off hands easily when you wash with soap and water. Feb 20, 2019

I got this as a gift while I was pregnant - I love that it is all natural but I do not love the smell of it Sep 25, 2017

I love this belly balm.I used daily as I grew larger, about into the 2nd trimester, and no stretch marks! I know I'm susceptible as I have other stretch marks, but this belly balm really did the trick Jul 25, 2017

I tried this when I was pregnant, it's great for moisturizing, but stretch marks will happen based on your genetics, please don't think there is a miracle cream, just keep moisturizing. Jun 23, 2017
- Renee T.
Bellevue, Iowa
I didn't notice any more or any less stretch marks with this.Has an interesting smell,the amount you get, for the price you pay,is a little upsetting. Used it all before 20wk, and went to coconut oil Feb 09, 2017
- Courtney J.

I really didn't love this stuff. It is so insanely greasy I had to be careful what I was putting in after, and with maternity clothes you don't get that luxury. I wouldn't purchase this item again. Jan 11, 2017

I wish it went a longer way than it does. I would have to get tons to make it through my whole pregnancies. Helped keep some stretch marks at bay, easy to put on and wasn't overly oily Feb 21, 2016

Used this when pregnant over winter and my belly was itching. Unfortunately I still got stretch marks, however, this was great to use and left my belly feeling silky without grease. Dec 23, 2015

I prefer this over cocoa butter, and it one tub may last my entire pregnancy. It is less sticky and when it warms up in your hands it melts into your skin like an oil, rather than just sitting on top. Jul 11, 2015

love how moisturizing this is! May 29, 2015

Best belly butter. It smells axing and goes on without a greasy feeling. My only complaint is that it only comes in small. Jun 06, 2014
