Cocoa is unique among vegetable fats because it is a solid at normal room temperature and melts at body temperature. It is also a skin-conditioning agent that coats the skin with a fine film; thereby diminishing water loss and leaving skin softened and protected. Generally, I like any body care product which contains cocoa butter as it’s not just hydrating but smells fantastic. Palmer’s is a good brand for its body care products. This Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Body Gloss has the perfect texture, creamy without being too thick and difficult to absorb into skin.

The gloss is not that evident but it’s there and it does give a bit of a sheen to my skin. There’s no sticky feeling and the scent is perfect, not too strong. It’s a good product for giving skin a bit of a highlight.
