I've no idea about that particular product, but raw African shea butter works wonders on surgical scars so I would imagine that it would work equally well on stretch marks.
A long time ago I bought this at CVS thinking it might be a nice thing to try for shaving. It didn't lather at all and gave a horrible shave, but made a great preshave cream. When I ran out I tried to cut out the middleman and bought some straight Shea Butter Cream which was not nearly as creamy as I thought it would be (or indeed creamy at all). It worked alright as a preshave cream but you really have to work it to get it to melt and it stains fabrics in large quantities, so I have a couple yellow hand towels now. I started to look for other uses for it when I found tutorials on making shea cream - usually with some coconut oil, some kind of carrier oil, and essential oils for smell.
I ended up following this guide which worked rather well! the product looks exactly like the african shea butter I get, but it's a little stiffer initially and melts much faster in my hands. It goes on a little greasy, which is part of what I was trying to avoid; straight shea butter sticks so hard it usually survives hand washing, hence the yellow towels. The same guy has a non-greasy recipe here that I didn't see before, but it just seems to be more shea butter and less oil. Also, if you're going for a fragrance, either lay it on thick or get something that complements the smell of shea butter - this stuff kinda smells like lavender leather ballsack right now
My wife was going insane from her eczema. She wanted to avoid cortisone even though the doctor said she can use it without worrying, so she tried this stuff which has helped her A LOT. It's still not completely gone, but she doesn't wake herself up scratching in the middle of the night anymore.
Also, that reminds me, I have to order some more. Thanks for the reminder!
Finished restoring this Northfield, put it through a shave test before heading out tonight.
I love blades with old folk art handles. When they enter my shop, I push for preserving the character as much as possible.
I started by removing the active rust, leaving a bit of pitting and staining behind. Took it to a high polish, and then forced a patina on the blade giving it an aged gunmetal look.
The edge was in rough shape, so I had to hone at 1K for a long while, giving the edge a "rough" look - which fits the style of the blade nicely.
In the end, it looks no newer than when I started, and I'm very happy about that.
Some pics of the process here.
A great shave, 2 pass BBS. A testimony to old steel.

Get some pure 'African Shea Butter'! It's the yellow chunky looking stuff found online and in beauty stores. Rub it between your hands to make it oily then apply to scars/burns/damaged skin. It has Incredibly high vitamin E levels and will work wonders for any scar!
Especially since she's so young too. It cleared up my motorcycle exhaust burns very well. Can also be used as lotion, sunscreen and lip balm.
