I would give this 10 lippies if i could. Absolute best body butter out there imo. It's also inexpensive, cost me $8.95 AUD for a 170g tub. It smells fantastic, like chocolate and has an amazing thick creamy consistency. It melts into skin and it really does live up to what it says on the tub - leaves skin silky soft and smooth. This is a great every day moisturiser! Definitely recommended!!

I find this can sometimes leave a film on my skin and not really moisturise it as I'd wish but I often mix it with other lotions or oils (such as Jojoba) to get a better feel. I'll always have this in my cosmetics cupboard though so it is definitely a staple product.

I really like this stuff. I've used the original cocoa butter formula for ages on my body and face, but thought I'd get this one too as it's more concentrated. I use it as a night cream and it works really well for my normal/combo skin sensitive skin. I don't understand how people say this is hard to get out of the jar...unless your house is 0 degrees?! I get it out with a q-tip and it's fine.


The smell is a lot stronger than the original, which I don't mind as I don't find the smell lingers too long. It is too heavy to use during the day so I strictly use it at night after taking off my makeup. You only need a tiny bit for your entire face and it blends really easily.


In the morning my skin is left so plump, smooth and hydrated it's unreal. I have very breakout prone skin but this does not break me out and I actually haven't had hardly any breakouts since using it! This is a definate staple in my collection.

i thought i will do a review on this product after i really used for a few months. im very HAPPY!!! this is the greatest stuff ever. it helped me with my acne and with all this nasty dark spots i had. i wear less make up and i put it on my face over night. my skin feels good, healthy and soft when i wake up and it made all my other skin regimes so much easier.
i also use baking soda for dark spots since only 4 days and i already see dramatic improvement. natural skincare is the best for your skin. olive oil, honey, cocoa butter.. it works wonders for your skin, more then expensive products!!

very happyyy, thank you palmers and cocoa butter :)

I am surprised people are saying this is hard--it's only hard for me if my house is freezing cold, like when I come back from a weekend out.

I do agree with the general trend that it's way too greasy to use during the day, but it's the best thing ever to slather all over just before bed. Completely rescued my winter-dry skin in the course of a week, and I can tell the difference if I stop using it. And cheap! So cheap! The tub lasts forever. My go-to moisturizer. I also use it around my nose, where my skin gets dry and chapped, and it works miracles there as well. I am hesitant to use it on the rest of my face due to how greasy it is.

What can I say that has not been said? This is a rich balm with a sweet cocoa scent that plumps and hydrates the skin.
I bought this because my local Walmart was out of the cocoa butter stick that I use on my lips. I saw the jars and thought they looked waxy enough for lip use. I ended up using it on my lips, feet, hands, neck and upper arms. A great product.

I have this in the hard formula. While it seems quite moisturising, I have no idea how to dig it out of the jar. Its way too hard for my liking. I literally have to srape it out with my nail. Its too unpractical for me...

this is only of the few products I'm constantly buying. probably the best moisturizer out there. works for me year round, I use twice a day in the winter, once a day in summer. it helps with stretch marks. I've been using cocoa butter for about a year and many of my terrible stretch marks from adolescence have either disappeared or are barely noticeable. my skin is easily irritated by fragrances, and clogs easily but neither are a problem with cocoa butter. there is mineral oil and a tiny bit of perfum in this, but it doesn't seem to matter.

this product is definitely a staple. I don't use it for stretch marks so I cant say how well it works for that. But I have used it on fresh scars and it works a bit (I use other stuff on them too so I cant judge how well it is working)
My favorite use for this is my lashes and brows. This makes my lashes so strong and healthy looking. I definitely think it helps them grow a little. I don't feel the need to use costly lash growing serums... I just use this. I put a little under my eyes too! It makes the skin there so bright and smooth. Its thick but doesn't cause white bumps. I look so refreshed and awake in the AM
This is awesome as a cuticle butter, after tan and sunburn butter.

I love this! I love to use it for an overnight cream because it's way too thick for the day, it leaves your skin looking greasy but it's just because it's so rich. It's ultra moistrizing and the BEST smelling lotion I have ever used. Amazing!

I always have this cocoa butter as a staple on my dressing table for my stretch marks, and general scars. It works best for my dry patches though, and the scent is really pleasant. The butter melts really easily in your fingers, and is quickly absorbed.

I don't think that it is brilliant, but it is far better than a lot of other cocoa butters that I've tried, so I'll stick with it.

Good Stuff

One of my favorite products. This stuff is super cheap and it's really rich and creamy. I warm it up in my hands and apply it all over before I go to bed. The next morning my skin feels very soft and smooth!

This is awesome as an eye makeup remover. It moisturizes as it removes makeup. I warm it up with my hands, rub gently over my eyes, and then use a cotton ball or a square cotton pad to remove the makeup.

Love this stuff. My skin gets really dry in the winter, and this stuff helps a lot. I even put it on my face, and it works wonders. I put it on at night and in the morning my face looks more even toned. I also feel like it helps blemishes. It does feel a little greasy right after applying it. Love this stuff. And the smell is yummy to top it off.

My work requires constant hand-washing and I have dry skin anyhow, so as you can imagine my hands get wrecked (especially in the winter). Others at my job have asked me how it is that my hands don't look as crocodile-like as theirs, and this is the answer. I have never had any trouble getting it out of the jar and actually it sinks in pretty quickly considering how heavy it is. The only reason I am not giving it a 5 is that the Palmer's scent is a little too powerful for me (I don't find it unpleasant, just too strong and sweet for my taste), but since I mostly use it at night that is not a serious problem.
