Cocoa Butter Hand and Body Cream 500 ml

I was fed up of trying to find a decent cream for my dry skin on my legs but my search is over. This stuff is amazing and keeps my skin looking hydrated and silky all day!It’s quite thick in consistency but absorbs very well and does not leave my skin feeling sticky like others have.The smell is quite strong but I really like it, it’s not overbearing for meThe pot usually lasts for a long time, so was confused why it was going down quicker then found out my two teenage sons were sneakily using it too. Needless to say we all have a pot each now!!!Love this product and been using it for a couple of years. will use nothing else! Highly recommend

Excellent product, a little goes a long way and it is very inexpensive.Although several other branded moisturisers had been used when required, this was introduced by chance and found to be extremely effective. It is more quickly absorbed than some and, unlike those based upon petroleum jelly, did not leave a greasy residue on the skin to be transferred to clothing, bedding etc. Its fragrance is mild, very pleasant and with a hint of chocolate. It was first recommended to another immediate family member long before it was personally used. Not only effective for dry skin, it is said to be also effective with stretch marks.Recommended!

I purchased a large tub of this cream after receiving a small tub of it, which my sister had bought for me during her trip to Ghana. I was pleasantly surprised when I found the same product being sold on amazon in a larger tub.Here are the pros and cons of this cream:PROS1) The smell!! It's the main reason I purchased2) Consistency. The cream has been whipped to a consistency which makes it really easy to spread. Unlike some whipped betters, e.g. shea butter, I don't find myself having to add oil in order to thin it down.3) SIze. The size is not bad for the price.CONS1) For somebody who has dry very skin or a condition such as eczema, unfortunately, this product may not meet your dry skin needs. I have severely dry skin, and after about 10 minutes of using this cream, my skin already feels dry again, as though I didn't use any cream at all. The solution I came up with is mixing it together with raw shea butter. Raw shea butter usually is amazing at sealing moisture on the surface of the skin. The problem is that it smells bad. So... mixing these two in combination creates the ULTIMATE skin cream, which leaves me looking smooth, moisturized, and smelling gorgeous!!Here is the product ingredient list as shown on the container:Aqua, propylparaben, Glycerin, Mineral oil, Arlacel, Cocoa butter, Lanolin, Parrafin, FragranceUsually, the ingredients mentioned earlier in an ingredient list will make up for the larger percentages of the product. Knowing this, we can assume that the product mostly consists of water and Propylparaben. Going by this logic, the product contains a larger percentage of mineral oil than cocoa butter, which would explain why the product is so drying on the skin.

For perfect moisturizing

Mineral Oil, Methyl Paraben - Petroleum based product Estrogen dominance Xeno-estrogenI was extremely disappointed to see that this cream is petroleum based. I do not want to use xeno-estrogens such as mineral oil, or methyl paraben, which are absorbed through the skin. Many women (and men) are now estrogen-dominant.Ingredients are: Demineralized water, Mineral Oil, Glycerin, Methyl Paraben, Cocoa Butter, FragranceI was really looking forward to using this, but absolutely cannot use it as it will merely increase my estrogen dominance. Such a shame. It's made in Cote d'Ivoire, home of the cocoa bean. What a great shame that they are manufacturing this cream the way most western creams are made, and were made.I will have to look for another cream that's made mostly with cocoa butter, or maybe just buy plain cocoa butter. Am really disappointed. I wish the seller had made the ingredients clear on the advert/listing. They do not list the ingredients.Ladies with heavy periods, painful periods, cramps, clotting, PMS, bloating, diarrhoea, fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, adenomyosis, polyps....do not use this cream. All creams and lotions which contain petroleum products will increase your problems as they are absorbed into the body and mimic estrogen.

This is thick like body butter, but when massaged in, it's not greasy! A little bit goes a long way- good coverage. Using it makes my skin feel hydrated and relieves the itching caused by dry skin. I'm also using it on my 9 year old to help with growth spurt skin stretching and scars from chicken pox. It smells amazing without being overpowering and it's good value for money. Hope this review helps someone.

I’m sure this is very good for your skin, but unfortunately I disliked the smell and just couldn’t get past it. To me it smelled old and fusty, and was actually making me nauseous. It may just be me though, as plenty others seem to like it

Love this cocoa butter it’s my go to. It’s soft and smells lovely as well.
