Cocoa butter or olive oil

I heard olive oil is good for stretch marks during pregnancy but my friend that is a month further in her pregnancy said it's greasy and doesn't absorb and she read cocoa butter is better. She just spent $103 on natural organic vegan cocoa butter. I find that a bit extreme. She doesn't want to spread chemicals in her body. Anyone have any suggestions?

This is the $103 butter. I have a feeling she's gonna need a lot more!

I was told pure coconut oil is really good. Also a thick vitamin E lotion. You can buy a tub of pure coconut oil in the cooking oil section at walmart for $5

African shea butter is amazing! Two pregnancies and no stretch marks. I was however relentless about puttung it on. Its super thick, and i would put layer on layer.....my ob used to laugh at me. It was all over my clothes! I bought it at farmers markets for 7$ a tub. Oh, and drink tons of water! Good luck!

Both.  Cocobutter, olive oil, coconut oil. I think she may have gotten ripped off too if it didn't come in a 5 gallon bucket lol.
