strech marks

I know that coco butter helps with strech marks but I absolutely hate coconut and even the smell will make me sick. I use a Shea extra rich lotion it seems to be helping the itch but are there any other alternatives? Or do I haft to be a big girl and use coco butter? Lol

I wouldn't recommend cocoa butter it's causes PUPPS rash to some pregnant women, I got it & it was the worst, it made me scratch so bad & I got scabs all over my legs. Some women don't get it, but some do it causes an allergic reaction.
