The oil has a noticeable cocoa smell that lingered on our skin one hour after application, but all of our testers loved the sweet smell, which eventually fades in its intensity. The body oil comes in a sturdy plastic bottle, and while our mom testers had no trouble keeping the bottle clean, any spillage would leave the bottle pretty greasy. Plus, a little bit of this body oil goes a long way and our parent testers were happy with how long one container lasted them.
Best for Parents looking for a lightweight oil to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars while hydrating their skin. Top benefits Lightweight, non-greasy, immediate hydration.
Considerations Added fragrance. It's so strange how different the skin on my face and body are. My face isn't the least bit sensitive—I can withstand anything from retinol and peels to dermaplaning without having to worry about post-treatment breakouts. But when it comes to the skin on my body, it's a very different story. If I shave my legs, I have to wait at least a day before applying any kind of scented lotion; otherwise, I get a stinging rash that lingers all day.
But my biggest skin complaint comes courtesy of the bumps on my arms. I don't know if it's the cause of my lotion-free negligence or plain genetics, but I deal with keratosis pilaris. For me, it's not the visible red pinholes you see in the hair follicle on the backs of the arms, but rather a bumpy, sandpaper-like texture on the sides of my biceps.
Sometimes it gets so bad that if I scratch my arm, the bumps inevitably bleed and scab. And while I've found it annoying for a while now because they're more textured than visible, it's more of a nuisance than anything , it wasn't until it started spreading down my arm past my elbow that I knew I had to do something about it.
The yellow-tinted cream pumps out a formula thick enough to frost a cake. With a bit of massaging, Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula absorbs deep into the skin you can actually feel it hydrating beyond the surface without leaving behind a greasy feel, so don't worry about leaving oily fingerprints on everything.
The bottle boasts a "hour moisture" label, but to be honest, I've woken up the next day and still felt like my skin had a hydrated bounce to it. Up until I shower and wash it off, I can still feel that my skin has moisture in it. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Daily Skin Therapy lotion has a distinctive smell you can't miss—it smells like a freshly mixed chocolate ganache. If you're sensitive to scents, and specifically to chocolate, this lingering smell might be too much for you.
Admittedly, the first couple days of using it, the scent was a bit strong for me too—I held my breath a bit when applying it, and I kept catching whiffs of it throughout the day that gave me a sweet tooth—but as I got used to it, the chocolate smell didn't bother me as much. After only a couple days of slathering on this thick, cocoa-scented cream, I noticed the bumpy texture of my arms began to smoothen out a bit. I could still feel them on my upper arms, but they weren't rough or scabbed like before.
After a week, my arms are so soft, and I have only a couple of bumps that indicate I had keratosis pilaris. I don't know if it was the blend of cocoa extract, coconut oil, and vitamin E that did the trick, or if incorporating any kind of lotion into my bodycare routine did it, but I couldn't be happier with the results.
If you're looking for an unpretentious cream that does your body good, you can't go wrong with Palmer's Cocoa Butter Daily Skin Therapy. And if for some reason you decide it's not a good fit, you've only lost out on a few bucks—so why not give it a try?
