Cocoa butter: The miracle ingredient
March 18, 2007 | 12:00am
Let me tell you one of my best-kept secrets to super sexy skin.
It’s so secret that many people still don’t realize it’s an ingredient just lying around in many a kitchen. It’s used in making chocolates. But it’s also present in many beauty products.
It’s simply cocoa butter.
The same way chocolate melts in your mouth, cocoa butter also melts at the human body’s temperature. This allows it to penetrate deeply into our skin. Other moisturizers need 85 to 92 percent water, and when this evaporates, it can leave the skin feeling even drier. The world’s top cocoa butter brand, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula, is so rich that it’s designed to duplicate the normal oil mantle of the skin. The moment you apply it to your skin, it’s easily absorbed, making your skin soft and supple, plus leaving the delicious scent of cocoa butter.
Another skin fact: in its pure form, cocoa butter is rock solid and nearly impossible to spread on skin. But Palmer’s painstakingly developed a formula to increase cocoa butter’s natural effectiveness by making it easier to spread and absorb. By adding vitamin E, Palmer’s enhances its soothing and softening effect on the skin. I use Palmer’s to moisturize my skin every evening after a bath, and I’m amazed at how easily and smoothly it spreads on the skin. The tactile experience is absolute comfort to the skin. It feels really rich yet soft, velvety and caressing.
The Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Jar contains 100 percent cocoa butter and Vitamin E to restore vital moisture with no greasy after-feel. This is perfect for relieving rough working hands, and cracked feet, heels and elbows. Ideal for deep moisturization, you can use it for overnight treatments.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Cream Tube also contains 100 percent cocoa butter plus antioxidant vitamins A, C and E. It’s a concentrated cream also ideal for hands, elbows, and knees.
The secret to super-sexy skin is Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Lotion. Containing 100 percent pure cocoa butter and vitamin E, it really softens, smoothens, and relieves dry skin. It melts at body temperature for deep absorption and leaves no greasy after-feel. Plus, it smoothes unattractive marks and scars and tones your skin. For those who don’t like the cocoa fragrance, a fragrance-free Lotion is available that provides all the benefits without the cocoa scent.
If you seek the fountain of youth, Palmer’s makes it available in a bottle. The Palmer’s Skin Smoothing Lotion contains a unique blend of cocoa butter, vitamin E, alpha and beta hydroxy acids to remove dry, dead skin cells and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It exfoliates to reveal more youthful, softer, smoother and healthier skin.
My favorite Palmer’s product is their Leg Gloss. It’s the only leg lotion that combines pure cocoa butter, vitamin E, and light refractors. Palmer’s Leg Gloss is a lightly tinted moisturizer that adds gloss and sheen, giving a satiny-smooth finish to mask imperfections. I really like the way it contains subtle shimmer (and not big, obvious glitter). The shimmer is so fine that it makes your skin glow. Plus, unlike other shimmer or tinted lotions, this doesn’t stain your clothes once dry. A big plus – Palmer’s Leg Gloss contains a hair growth inhibitor that minimizes the need for shaving. Regular application will help lengthen the time in between shaving.
Another product I love is Palmer’s Body Gloss. Also containing pure cocoa butter and vitamin E, it illuminates the skin with a sexy subtle shimmer, without greasy-looking shine. Apply this all over your body, especially the shoulders, arms and legs. A skin staple for those nights out.
Palmer’s also has a Moisturizing Body Oil that contains a special soya bean, sesame seed, and safflower oil base. Despite being rich, it absorbs quickly and has a delicious light scent. Pamper your skin by applying this straight after a bath or shower to lock in moisture. Or better yet, pour directly into your bath. The result? A soft, silky feel without the greasiness.
To tone and firm the skin, I go for Palmer’s Skin Firming Lotion. It contains cocoa butter and vitamin E for superior moisturization, shea butter to combat dryness and improve elasticity, collagen and elastin to help improve skin elasticity, and ginseng, a botanical anti-inflammatory, to help improve circulation. Palmer’s Skin Firming Lotion is proven to increase the skin’s firmness in just six weeks.
Between friends, there are no secrets. Many of my model friends use cocoa butter. Secrets are meant to be shared.
Palmer’s is available at all Rustan’s Essenses, Rustan’s Supermarkets, Shopwise, Duty-Free Clark, Baby Company, PCX and Chimes Davao.
