Targeted botanical care for stretch marks
Nourish areas where skin has stretched
Stretch Mark Oil is a botanical body oil created specifically for massage on areas affected by stretch marks. The formula combines mango butter, almond oil, wheat germ oil, and apricot kernel oil with six complementary essential oils to moisturize and condition the skin while supporting a softer, smoother-looking appearance.
Stretch marks can develop anywhere the skin expands or changes relatively quickly. Common areas include the stomach, thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts, upper arms, and back. Stretch Mark Oil provides a simple way to give these areas targeted attention as part of your daily skincare routine.
What are stretch marks?
Understanding changes beneath the skin's surface
Stretch marks, also called striae, are a type of scar that can develop when the skin stretches or contracts relatively quickly. They commonly occur during periods of rapid growth, pregnancy, weight changes, and changes in muscle size.
Their appearance can evolve over time. Newer stretch marks may initially appear red, pink, purple, reddish-brown, or darker than the surrounding skin. Older stretch marks often gradually become lighter and less prominent.
Stretch marks are extremely common and are not limited to one gender, age group, or body type.
Daily moisture for stretched skin
Help maintain softness and suppleness
Hydrated skin tends to feel softer and more flexible than dry skin. Stretch Mark Oil combines emollient plant oils and mango butter to help reduce moisture loss while conditioning areas that may feel dry, tight, or rough.
The formula's fatty-acid-rich carrier oils provide the foundation for this moisturizing effect. Consistent application can help maintain a supple skin surface while improving how dry or rough areas feel.
Massage is part of the routine
Give targeted areas focused attention
Stretch Mark Oil is designed to be massaged rather than simply spread quickly over the skin.
Pour a small amount into your palm and rub your hands together to warm and distribute the oil. Massage it over the desired area using gentle circular movements. This helps distribute the botanical oils evenly while turning everyday moisturization into a more intentional body-care routine.
Focus on the entire area of stretched skin rather than aggressively rubbing individual marks. Massage should always feel comfortable.
Support skin through periods of change
A routine for changing bodies
Stretch marks can accompany many normal changes in the body. Teenagers may develop them during growth spurts. Adults may notice them after gaining or losing weight. Bodybuilders can develop stretch marks as muscle size increases. They are also especially common during and after pregnancy.
Stretch Mark Oil provides moisturizing and conditioning care for skin during these changes. Regular use supports softness, suppleness, and a smoother-looking skin surface, regardless of why your stretch marks developed.
New stretch marks vs. older stretch marks
Different appearances, the same nourishing routine
New and mature stretch marks can look noticeably different.
Newer stretch marks are often more colorful and noticeable, while older marks typically become lighter and more scar-like over time. Individual skin tone also significantly influences their appearance.
Stretch Mark Oil can be used as part of your skincare routine for both newer and established stretch marks. Because mature stretch marks represent changes within the skin's structure, no topical cosmetic oil can guarantee that they will completely disappear.
The goal of Stretch Mark Oil is consistent nourishment, moisturization, massage, and support for smoother-looking skin.
Stretch Mark Oil vs. body lotion
Targeted botanical oil vs. everyday moisturizer
Body lotion is generally a water-and-oil emulsion designed primarily for everyday moisturization across larger areas of the body.
Stretch Mark Oil is a concentrated oil-based formula created specifically for areas affected by stretch marks and scar tissue. Its oil texture provides extended glide for massage while its mango butter and plant oils help condition and soften the skin.
You don't necessarily have to choose one. A body lotion can provide everyday hydration, while Stretch Mark Oil can be reserved for targeted areas where you want more focused massage and nourishment.
Stretch Mark Oil vs. Cellulite Oil
Linear stretch marks vs. dimpled-looking skin
Stretch marks and cellulite can appear on many of the same areas of the body, but they are different skin concerns.
Stretch marks are scar-like lines that develop when the skin changes or stretches relatively quickly. Cellulite creates a dimpled or rippled appearance related to the interaction between underlying fat and connective tissue.
Stretch Mark Oil is specifically formulated to nourish stretch marks and scar tissue and support smoother-looking skin.
Our Cellulite Oil is formulated specifically for targeted massage on areas with dimpled-looking skin.
Choose Stretch Mark Oil when stretch marks are your primary concern and Cellulite Oil when your primary concern is the appearance of cellulite.
Stretch Mark Oil vs. Face and Body Oil
Targeted stretch mark care vs. everyday moisturization
Both oils help moisturize and condition the skin, but their purposes are different.
Stretch Mark Oil contains mango butter, almond, wheat germ, and apricot kernel oils alongside six essential oils. Its formula is specifically centered on stretch marks, scar tissue, elasticity, and targeted massage.
Our Face and Body Oil contains a broader selection of carrier and essential oils and is designed as an everyday multipurpose moisturizer for both facial and body skin.
Choose Stretch Mark Oil for targeted areas affected by stretching. Choose Face and Body Oil when your main goal is general daily moisturization and nourishment.
Stretch Mark Oil vs. cocoa butter
Multi-ingredient botanical blend vs. a single butter
Cocoa butter is a rich plant butter commonly used to moisturize dry body skin. It can help soften and condition the skin, but it is still essentially a single moisturizing ingredient.
Stretch Mark Oil takes a multi-ingredient approach. Mango butter is combined with almond, wheat germ, and apricot kernel oils plus vetiver, helichrysum, carrot seed, patchouli, neroli, and tangerine essential oils.
This creates a more diverse fatty-acid and botanical profile while providing the glide needed for regular stretch mark massage.
Ingredients
Mango butter
Mango butter is derived from mango kernels and provides a rich emollient base for Stretch Mark Oil. Its fatty-acid profile is particularly notable for stearic acid and oleic acid, with smaller amounts of palmitic and linoleic acids.
We use mango butter because it helps soften dry skin, supports moisture retention, and gives stretched skin a more supple feel.
Almond oil
Almond oil is a lightweight-to-medium emollient naturally rich in oleic acid and linoleic acid.
One of its most notable micronutrients is vitamin E, particularly alpha-tocopherol. Almond oil also contains naturally occurring phytosterols and smaller amounts of other lipid-soluble compounds.
We use almond oil to moisturize and soften the skin while providing smooth glide during targeted massage.
Wheat germ oil
Wheat germ oil stands out for its naturally high concentration of vitamin E compounds, including tocopherols. Its fatty-acid profile includes linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid.
It also contains naturally occurring phytosterols, carotenoids, and other lipid-soluble plant compounds.
We use wheat germ oil because its rich emollient and antioxidant profile complements skin that needs intensive conditioning and nourishment.
Apricot kernel oil
Apricot kernel oil contains high levels of oleic acid and linoleic acid and naturally occurring vitamin E compounds, phytosterols, and carotenoid-related compounds.
Its texture is generally lighter than heavier plant butters, helping balance the richness of mango butter and wheat germ oil.
We use apricot kernel oil to provide gentle moisturization, soften the skin, and improve the spreadability of Stretch Mark Oil during massage.
Vetiver essential oil
Vetiver essential oil has a complex composition rich in sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpene alcohols, including compounds such as vetiverol and related vetiver constituents.
We use vetiver for its deep, earthy aroma and its traditional place in botanical skin-conditioning preparations.
Helichrysum essential oil
Helichrysum essential oil contains naturally occurring aromatic compounds that may include neryl acetate, alpha-pinene, gamma-curcumene, italidiones, and other terpenes, depending on the species and origin.
We include helichrysum because of its longstanding popularity in botanical formulations designed around the appearance and conditioning of skin.
Carrot seed essential oil
Carrot seed essential oil is particularly associated with the sesquiterpene alcohol carotol, along with compounds such as daucol and other naturally occurring volatile constituents.
Carrot seed essential oil should not be confused with carrot juice or carrot seed carrier oil.
We use carrot seed essential oil as part of the botanical blend supporting conditioned, healthy-looking skin.
Patchouli essential oil
Patchouli essential oil contains patchoulol (patchouli alcohol) as one of its characteristic compounds, along with alpha-bulnesene, alpha-guaiene, and other sesquiterpenes.
We use patchouli for its earthy aromatic character and its traditional use in moisturizing and skin-conditioning botanical formulations.
Neroli essential oil
Neroli is distilled from bitter orange blossoms and contains aromatic compounds including linalool, limonene, linalyl acetate, and nerolidol.
We use neroli to provide a delicate floral-citrus character while complementing a formula centered on supple and smooth-looking skin.
Tangerine essential oil
Tangerine essential oil is naturally rich in limonene, accompanied by smaller amounts of compounds such as gamma-terpinene, alpha-pinene, and myrcene.
We use tangerine to add a fresh citrus note that brightens the deeper aromas of vetiver and patchouli and rounds out the overall botanical blend.
How to use
Create a consistent stretch mark skincare routine
Pour a small amount of Stretch Mark Oil into the palm of one hand. Rub your hands together to distribute and gently warm the oil.
Massage the oil into areas affected by stretch marks using light, circular movements. Common areas include the stomach, thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts, upper arms, and back.
Use twice daily or as needed.
For best moisturizing results, try applying Stretch Mark Oil after bathing while the skin retains a little moisture.
For external use only. Avoid applying the oil to open wounds or actively irritated skin. If you have particularly sensitive skin, patch test a small area before broader application.
