Today I am going to be reviewing the Mama Bee Belly Butter by Burt's Bees. I was very kindly sent this product to review which is very kind, Thank You.
So as many of you know I have just had my little girl she is absolutely beautiful, I was and still am trying to use as many natural/organic products as possible, I want to be kind to myself and my family and that includes looking after ourselves well.
First off I want to talk about the packaging, it is really nice in a big tub which is great because when pregnant you have to use the belly butter every single day and even after the birth you need to keep using it to really see the benefits. I think the packaging is simple but contains enough information to let you know what it does/what its for and what it contains! I love the design on the packaging it is like honeycomb so it is quite easily recognisable on the shelves.
Before looking around on the internet whilst pregnant I had never seen this range of products before so I was really excited to use it. They have a small range for Mummies which is great, and the reason I love these products is because they are natural. Although it does state on the website that it is fragrance free I was expecting it to smell like honey - and I must say this is the only disappointment I had with this product and it is not a problem at all - just something I like and didn't have. When I opened it for the first time I could see that the product was very thick, this made me a little worried as I thought it may be quite sticky but after using it I quickly found that the whole lot soaks into your skin without a problem. I can not comment on whether it prevents stretch marks although I only got one (from what I can tell) new one - I had a huge amount from my first pregnancy so it is a little hard to tell. I was also quite far along in my pregnancy before receiving this product. The belly butter definitely moisturises thirsty skin and helps to stop itching!! I was very very itchy towards the end of my pregnancy and when I put the cream/butter on it really helped - although the itching would return later on. I used this product several times a day, and found it most soothing when getting out of the bath or shower - I even used it on other parts of my body - for example my arms and legs because I was getting itchy there too. It lasts very well, a little goes a very long way, and I think this is because it is so thick and luxurious, you can really tell that this is a fantastic and high quality product.
I think the price for this product is pretty good, the quality of the ingredients and the fact that it is 99% natural makes it worth every penny.
You can purchase this product from their site here for £13.99 - for this price you get 185g which is a really decent amount. It is a similar price to other natural products on the market, in fact less than some others available. I honestly believe you pay for what you get and the quality speaks for itself! There are many cheaper products available but I found that a lot of those either left me feeling sticky OR they did not moisturise at all or for long periods of time.
