Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Body Lotion Review

Price I paid
£4 - Quite a little goes a long way which is surprising since it is not too expensive to begin with.  I normally find cheaper products use up very fast in comparison to the ones i spend a little more on.

Design

 The design of the bottle isn't too modern but i think i like that because the product has been around for a while and has stood the test of time.

Colour

The actual lotion is a beige colour, but as soon as you spread it out it seems clear.  It leaves a shiny glean on your body for the drying time but once it has sunk in it is invisible.

Texture

Palmer's describe this product as butter and the texture of it is very similar to the kind of easy spread butter you find in shops.  It is incredibly smooth to apply and really moisturizes and softens dry skin! I find it best to apply it straight after the shower while i'm drying off because it does need a minute or two to dry off.

Smell

This product smells gorgeous a little like white chocolate but i don't think it is particularly overpowering.

Ingredients
It contains vitamin E which is an antioxidant, this means that it neutralises the effects of the molecules in your skin that break down collagen and cause dryness and wrinkles.  It may also be used to help with stretch marks and tone skin although i dont think it works miracles because i have some on the tops of my legs and after years of use i havent noticed a significant difference although it may have prevented more.
Perhaps the only thing that is a bit strange about the ingredients list is their need to add perfume that smells like cocoa to a cocoa butter product.  Although the cocoa that is used in this formula has some moisturising properties and according to the Palmer's website the cocoa is sustainably sourced which is good to know!


Overall reaction
Palmer's cocoa butter is one of my all time favourite body lotions which i have been using for years and continually have re-purchased!
i would rate this: 8/10
