Mama’s Gold Stretch Mark Prevention & Care Oil
While typical stretch mark oils are made from cheap, inferior oils that do little to improve the skin’s condition and stay only on top of the skin, Mama Gold’s Stretch Mark Wonder Oil is made from the best nutritive oils designed to penetrate the cells beneath the skin’s surface where it is needed. Featured in magazines such as Fit Pregnancy, this oil is raved for its remarkable effectiveness in stretch mark prevention as well as how it is able to fade old stretch marks.
Pregnant women are more prone to brittle skin as the babies in their womb acquire nutrients from them. If you have ever found a rubber band that has become dry and brittle, then you will know that once it is stretched, the rubber band becomes cracked. In contrast, a rubber band that is relatively new and flexible, can be stretched again and again and go back to their original shape without damage. The skin works in a similar manner. The problem with most stretch mark oils is that the inexpensive oils they use do little to benefit the cellular structure of the skin and mostly remain on the skin’s surface without penetration. Tammie, Shea Terra’s founder and super mom of 14 children, formulated Mama’s Gold Stretch Mark Wonder Oil utilizing several of her most nutrient oils that provide the nourishment cells crave as they penetrate below the surface to help skin stretch.
While there is no absolute prevention for stretch marks, the level of the skin’s elasticity can be markedly improved with the right ingredients. There is also no way of completely getting rid of stretch marks, but their appearance can be drastically improved with proper topical nutrition from ingredients that actually penetrate the skin’s surface unlike cocoa butter and coconut oil which do not.
Tammie Umbel, Shea Terra’s founder, has been exploring remote villages throughout Africa for the rarest, power-packed ingredients on the planet since 2000. Shea Terra works with indigenous tribes to discover these potent ancestral plants and minerals and offers these Superhero Ingredients through our concentrated formulas.
African Potato
Used by traditional healers for thousands of years, this tuber is considered a miracle drug by many natives of Africa. Its naturally occurring sterols and sterolins deliver soothing properties that help decrease puffiness and manage inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and sun exposure.
Baobab
Referred to in Africa as the Tree of Life, and growing over a thousand years old, there is no wonder why natives travel at length to gather the sacred fruits of the baobab tree. Rich in the amino acid lysine, this amazing oil does a lot of things that we are not able to say. Try it on rough skin, varicose veins and more. Saturated with vitamins and omegas six and nine, baobab oil magically transforms skin in just weeks. This is the must have oil for dry, aging skin and uncontrollable hair.
Carrot Seed
This oil is just what the doctor ordered for aging skin! A few drops of carrot seed oil a day could keep the plastic surgeon away. High in Pro-Vitamin A and Beta Carotene, this cold pressed oil (as opposed to distilled essential carrot seed oil) is the ultimate complexion repair serum as it works to reverse skin damage.
Kigelia Africana
Also known as the sausage fruit, kigelia Africana is a potent fruit extract building new pathways in the skincare industry. Kigelia is known to have anti-melanoma properties and is revered in Africa as a remedy for sun damage. Applied directly, the fruit pulp is used as a skin tightening agent. It is highly anti-inflammatory, thus working to calm flare ups caused by eczema and rashes.
Marula
Marula oil is valued for its nutritive, skin restoring properties. Rich in oleic acid and antioxidants, this oil helps to repair sun damaged, aging skin while forming a moisture loss barrier.
Shea Nilotik’Shea Butter
Cold pressed, never boiled, this rare East African shea butter is much creamier and softer than its West African sister. The nuts of this differing species produce a butter that is higher in olein and tocopherols. This unrefined butter is exceptional for aging skin and after sun care. Unlike West African shea butter, which can build up in hair, Shea Nilotik’ Shea Butter is also ideal for damaged hair.
Since 2000, Shea Terra has been on a quest for natural beauty wisdom throughout Africa, exploring remote villages, trekking through miles of desert on camel back, and sailing into the depths of Nubia. Our journey has allowed us to tap into a wealth of indigenous knowledge and share these remote beauty secrets with the world. Through our diverse line of skin and hair care products, you can embark on this journey of beauty wisdom with us.
The Legendary Tree of Life
Baobab, also known as “The Tree of Life” or “Monkey Bread” is an existential part of African life. Its tree and fruits have been used as medicinefor centuries. Not only is the fruit a delicious citrus treat, the seeds are often used as vitamin supplements in powder form. Baobab has probiotic effects, which help build and maintain the human body’s immune system. The leaves are eaten as vegetables to aid digestion. Compared to other popular sources of nutrition like oranges, bananas and berries, the baobab fares better when it comes to its remarkable amount of nutrients such as Vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants.
Baobab comes from the Arabic “Bu hibab” which means “fruit with many seeds”. The monkey-bread tree grows primarily in Africa. Its high importance in the country’s economy and day-to-day life is paid homage to through its symbol in the coat of arms of the African state of Senegal.
It is not called “The Tree of Life” for nothing. Both animals and humans depend on the baobab. Apart from food and medicine, the plant is also used as raw material for the production of clothes and other everyday objects such as rooftops, boxes, paper, baskets, nets and ropes. It is also used in making jewelry. Villagers actually decide if a location is suitable to live in if there are baobab plants within vicinity, and they go as far as making relocation decisions if their baobab dies and there are no other plants nearby. I guess you can say their life depended on it.
Shea Terra is founded by Tammie Umbel, an enterprising super mom, who built the company while homeschooling 14 of her children. Shea Terra grew out of Tammie’s vision to develop natural skin care treatments that would not only heal and beautify those who use them, but also empower and enrich the lives of many impoverished villages and families throughout Africa.
Since early 2000, Shea Terra Organics has been working with cooperatives and conservation groups to source natural, organic ingredients in a sustainable and ethical way that would create economic opportunities and preserve wildlife. We share these indigenous, time-tested healing ingredients through our breadth of product lines, which include facial care, body treatments, hair herbals and maternity & newborn remedies.

Great for smoothing skin texture
This oil is great for moisturizing and improving the skins elasticity. If you are trying to keep your skin firm, this is a must. It does have a strong, herbal smell and is oily. It does sink into the skin quickly and the smell fades away. I would recommend using at night after a warm bath or shower. Maybe even leave your skin a little damp. The skin is smoother an tighter over time. It also helps to even the skin tone. I will purchase again.

Great Product!
I purchased this oil after trying numerous creams and oils to prevent stretch marks. 3 months postpartum and I can honestly say I did not get one stretch mark due to this oil. Yes, it is a bit oily when you first apply it, so you have to be careful with your clothing but a little goes a long way. I began using this oil when I was three months pregnant and applied it everyday after my showers. Three months postpartum and I still have a quarter of the bottle left hence why I say a little goes a long way. I saw reviews in regards to the odor of this product but to me the odor is not bad. I would definitely recommend this oil for mommas to be!

Excellent Product: Detailed Review
I wanted to wait until I was a couple weeks out postpartum before I did a review on this because I know stretch marks can creep up after things shrink down or you lose weight! However, two weeks out and five pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight, and I am still stretch mark free.I began using this oil, at least once a day on my stomach, breasts, and hips, around 18 weeks of pregnancy, when I started gaining some weight, and just finished the bottle a few days ago. I continued using Jergen’s Firming lotion too, as I normally do, on the rest of my body; however, it often made its way onto my stomach, breasts, and hips too. Mama’s Gold is indeed a oily, and you either want it to soak in (If you have the time.) or put on an old shirt or camisole after application. If has almost a Fruity Pebbles or Fruit Loops smells, so if you are sensitive to sweet or strong smells, this may not be for you.I am 5’10”, 148 pounds normally, and I ended at 171 pounds. I was active with daily hiking, weight training, or yoga throughout my pregnancy, and I drank at least 3 liters of water throughout the day. I was also taking a prenatal, fish oil, Co-Q 10 in conjunction with blood pressure medication (to help stave off preeclampsia, which still came around at 36 weeks), and Natural Calm. I have very fair, easy to burn, dry skin and had stretch marks on my butt, hips, and breasts after puberty, that finally faded, in my late teens, into silvery-white lines. My mother has more olive, oily skin, which tans beautifully, but had large, purple, long stretch marks, EVERYWHERE, despite only gaining 30 pounds max with each pregnancy.Due to my mother’s stretch mark history, and my puberty stretch marks, I was desperate to try and prevent them. I share all of this with you, so you have a clear picture of all the variables going in because everyone is different, and clearly there are other factors that could have contributed to my great results. Either way, I am incredibly pleased with my stretch mark free midriff and my skin, which seems to have retained most of its elasticity. Therefore, I highly recommend this product, and I hope you end up with the same results!UPDATE:I am five weeks postpartum with baby two and no stretch marks again. I gained less this time because my son was early; however, bigger than some full term babies. I continued to use it when I got home and am happy with the results.

Kinda oily and way too much of it, but still feels/smells pretty good
I ordered this at the beginning of my pregnancy and used it pretty much daily throughout. While I don’t have any stretch marks, I don’t really think this has to do anything with the lotion — most research shows that stretch marks are hereditary and skin-deep treatments have no impact. However, it does feel nice once the belly starts getting itchy and it was a nice post-shower routine where I’d talk to the baby and lotion up. At first I thought the smell was a bit strong, but I grew to like it.In terms of the negatives, the bottle itself was not airtight and so some of the lotion leaked during transit and throughout its use and collected on and around the bottle as gross greasiness. Not great! Second, I would have been happy with half of the amount. Even using throughout the pregnancy, I still only went through maybe a third or half of the bottle? Not sure what to do with the rest of it! Wish it was available in a smaller size.

I got this to prevent stretch marks. I am 27 weeks along and only gained 14 pounds and have stretch marks starting. I use this all the time but not helping. It is genetic I guess, thanks mom. It does feel good on my itching belly though so I will continue to use it. It also smells wonderful.

Great Purchase So Far!!
This product is amazing! I am unfortunately prone to stretch marks genetically, so wanted to find a product that could help prevent them at the onset of pregnancy. My friend recommended this product to me and I have been using this religiously since the day I found out I was pregnant. So far, no signs of any new stretch marks. The product goes on smooth and consistent and doesn’t leave an oily residue like many oily products can do. I also like the scent, though I could see how some could be sensistive to it, especially in the first trimester.

I don’t have stretch marks and I feel like this helped my skin prepare itself for growing and …
No stretch marks after using this. But I’ve heard stretch marks can’t be prevented if you’re going to get them, you’re going to get them. This oil helped keep my skin stay soft, and ready to grow. I put it on my legs and thighs as well. I don’t have stretch marks and I feel like this helped my skin prepare itself for growing and stretching! Loved the scent too! Ordered two bottles now
