Mum-To-Be Stretch Mark Oil contains a number of all natural oils to help nourish and moisturize the skin and reduce the appearance of stretch marks, but it lacks medical grade silicon which is well known as an essential component in treating stretch marks medically. Also absent from the ingredient list are essential oils for skin rejuvenation like onion bulb extract, safflower oil, and jojoba oil. These missing ingredients may render this product insufficient in treating stretch marks.
Dosage Instructions
The company recommends massaging Mum-To-Be Stretch Mark Oil onto the affected areas as often as possible. We were somewhat perplexed by this since there is no indication of a minimum or recommended number of applications per day. The manufacturer also suggests applying the oil while in a bath or shower to lock in extra moisture. It’s not clear to us how the oil remains on the skin if applied while wet.
Cost and Guarantee
The manufacturer's website offers the product for sale at a cost of $9.69 for a 150ml bottle at today's exchange rate. If you spend over $25, delivery is free. There are no special discount or coupons if you buy multiple items. This policy is not an incentive for maintaining long term customers.
The manufacturer’s guarantee is very weak and limited. In order to get a refund, you must notify the manufacturer within 7 working days and return it within 14 working days from delivery. This is a very short period of time and doesn’t allow you to really try out the product to see if it works for you.
Summary Of Our Sanctuary Spa Mum-To-Be Stretch Mark Oil
There a several things we liked about Sanctuary Spa Mum-To-Be Stretch Mark Oil. The ingredients are all natural and some reviewers imply that they have had success using the oil. There are however more negatives than positives. It lacks the medical grade silicon which is well known as an essential component in treating stretch marks medically. Also absent from the ingredient list are essential oils like onion bulb extract, safflower oil, and jojoba oil. These missing ingredients may render this product insufficient in treating stretch marks effectively. . There are no special discount or coupons if you buy multiple items. This policy is not an incentive for maintaining long term customers. We found the dosage guidance very lacking and vague. The return policy is very insufficient and doesn’t specify if open bottles are accepted or not. Coupled with the weak guarantee is the relatively high purchase price. Lastly customer reviews are only positive on the company website which is suspicious, and there are no reviews on Amazon. For these reasons we cannot recommend Sanctuary Spa Mum-To-Be Stretch Mark Oil.
