Best Belly Product on Etsy Series, #3: ReLive’s Mama Belly Butter Bar
(4/5)
This one is for all of you green mamas out there! The great people at ReLive have created a belly bar formula that is completely organic and vegan friendly. The best part…it works quite well!
The first thing I want to mention about this product is how great the container is. It may sound odd that I am so fond of packaging but please let me explain. Every night before I go to bed, I slather some kind of butter or oil all over my tummy. This leaves me with greasy hands so I then have waddle my way into the bathroom to wash my hands before I get into bed. I’ve been thinking about how nice it would be to have some kind of applicator on the bars so that I don’t have to make this extra step in my sleepy preggo state. Well Relive has done it! The belly butter bar comes in a recyclable plastic tube that twists from the bottom. You don’t need to touch the butter at all to apply. I absolutely love it!
This bar is in solid form but melts with the help of body heat. I found it slightly difficult to melt at first since it sits in my cold room all day, but after a moment of rubbing, it gets much easier to apply. This bar keeps me well moisturized all night through until I shower in the morning. It relieves itch and has a non greasy feel. It is made up of only 5 ingredients, all of which are recognizable… Apricot Kernel Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Cocoa Butter, Candelilla Wax, and Vitamin E Oil.
The Mama Belly Butter bar contains no essential oils. I personally believe that while some essential oils are dangerous during pregnancy, others are harmless and some even beneficial. However, I know a lot of you choose to avoid all essential oils while pregnant, making this a great product for you. However, I do have to state my one complaint about this bar. While it is supposed to be unscented, I detect a bit of an odd waxy scent from it. I assume it is the candelilla wax. This may just be my crazy pregnant super smelling ability though, as my husband has no idea what I’m talking about. Still, I like to be completely honest about the products I test and I feel obligated to include that observation.
All in all, I am very happy with the Mama Belly Butter Bar and I definitely recommend it, especially to all of you green minded ladies. All of ReLive’s products are organic and eco friendly so please be sure to stop by the shop for other great products too!
