Which is the best skin moisturizers, coco butter or shea butter?

in your opinion, if don't use either what skin moisturizers do you use?


Cocoa butter is a solid yellowish butter from the cocoa seed (theobrama cacao). It contains vitamin E. Shea butter is a soft white to ivory coloured butter from the shea nut kernel (butyrospermum parkii). They are both good emollients and especially good for dry skin. Both melt at around body temperature. Shea butter is much softer in texture in its natural state and is suitable for face and body. Cocoa butter is probably better for the body.

Really works

I am a fan of many of the St. Ives products for their value and for the fact you really get results. I just turned 45 and realized I needed a litttle more of a boost in the moisturizer department. My neck was looking a little crepe-ish and I wanted to keep that in check. The Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin moisturizer really helped a lot. I would highly recommend it.
Hubby also loves it!
Honestly it's not the best choice for dry skin, but I still love it. It has the almond like scent. Hubby loves it on his combination skin and it doesn't irritate his eyes. I am glad I didn't buy pack of 3, it takes forever to finish 1 jar, BIG size.
Worthwhile Product
Just the right moisturizer, not heavy and immediately absorbed into skin leaving face soft and fresh. Skin texture looks light and dewey. Price is right too!

Not Good For Dry & Combination Skin!!!
I have a combination skin and it didnt work for me at all but i think it would be good for oily skins becouse of the light and fast absorbeding texture.
Finally
I love this product but as of late, cant find it anywhere. As always Amazon pulls through. Arrived in two days, look younger already!

Product Description

The previous edition of Dry Skin and Moisturizers: Chemistry and Function was the first book devoted to all aspects of moisturizers, a subject often given short shrift in dermatology texts. It quickly became a standard reference. In the past five years, there has been an explosion of new information relating to the nature of dry skin and its treatment. With more than 350 scientific papers on dry skin published in the last five years, the advances in the field have been nothing short of stunning. Completely revised and updated, this second edition presents the most recent research findings and contains highly relevant information for future possibilities to scientifically tailor efficient products for dry skin.

The book focuses on constituents in moisturizing creams and pharmaceutical preparations and their effects on dry skin disorders. It covers regulatory and safety issues and includes pertinent information from neighboring research areas. With contributions from internationally recognized, world-class scientists, the book comprehensively summarizes current knowledge from basic science to clinical practice. The combination of detailed information about the skin with in depth coverage of moisturizers makes this book a one of a kind resource.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic product!
I am extremely pleased with this product. It gives a very subtle, healthy glow and is the best moisturizer I have ever used! I've noticed a definite difference in how I look and other people have commented also. There is a lot of product in the tube so it makes this a great buy, too!
Even Glow
I have fair porcelain skin. This works very well without looking like Orangina!!
I do recommend gently ex foliating every second day of application to prevent a scuzzy buildup. I will definitely buy it again.
Only for Prissy Women
This is a pretty great product. The tan looks nice and natural, no matter how thick you lather it on. And it's a great moisturizer too. Some people complained about the smell, but I honestly didn't notice anything different from a regular daily moisturizer. The shimmer is a nice touch. It really looks great.

HOWEVER, and this is a big however, if you manage to get wet while wearing clothes (even just a bathing suit) it'll rub off. I went to an amusement, rode maybe 4 water-based rides, and by the end of the day the spots that were hit by my clothes were my original skin color. AND it doesn't even come off evenly. It comes off splotchy, so it looks like you have some sort of skin disorder. Sweat will do it too. So don't intend on spending time in the heat, especially if you insist on doing so with clothes on. The same issue can be achieved after a shower or bath if you rub your skin too roughly with the towel. Basically, you have to baby the tan like nobody's business because if you don't, you'll find it rubbing off in some spots. Pale isn't half as bad as being spotted.
Love this product
The L'Oreal Sunless Sublime Glow Daily Moisturizer works great. I buy it all the time. For some reason, I can't find it in stores, so I am ordering it off Amazon.com. You will love it. It gives you a natural looking tan--no orange--and no odor.
Nice color but don't like the sticky feeling
I'm very fair skinned with pink undertones, burn rather than tan, and have rosacea to boot, so sun bathing is not an option. Had tried another self-tanner a couple years ago but was left with streaks and a fake-looking orange color. I bought this product on the basis of the reviews and am pleased overall. After using three nights in a row (and then skipping the next three nights) I still have a light tan that is very natural looking. Because the color builds slowly, I was able to go back and use more where I'd skimped too much(above the knees) and use less where I looked too dark (below the knees). I didn't mind the sparkles--they're kind of fun and they're gone within a half day. The smell isn't too bothersome--on me, it's a slightly musty smell that I notice but my husband doesn't. I gave it four instead of five stars because I dislike the way my skin feels, both the night I use it and the whole day after--it leaves my skin feeling a bit sticky or tacky and wishing I could shower. (Note for other rosacea-type people: I did not use the product on my face--I used Rosacea Care's tinted Zinc-o for that and the colors match pretty well.)

Customer Reviews

best lotion for eczema
I agree with the other reviewers: this is the best there is. My four kids all had very severe eczema when they were young. At one point, the oldest was almost hospitalized because of constant infections, but we refused to allow it. The point is, they were BAD - every time we went out in public people stopped me to ask it they had chicken pox/poison ivy. They all began to get much better when they reached the age of about 6 to 8, and now they look pretty normal except for persistent cracks on their hands and feet. They range from age 19 to age 8 now, and their skin is still very dry. This lotion is the best - it doesn't irritate them, and is a nice lotiony texture, unlike the thick goopy Eucerin creme we used when they were younger. There are multiple bottles of this stuff all over our house, and in all our cars. You can only imagine how upset I was last summer when I discovered that Walmart, Target, and Walgreens were no longer carrying it. I checked Neutrogena's website and it appeared to be gone, replaced by the red box stuff which doesn't come fragrance-free, except in an $8 medium-size tube. The lotion doesn't feel as nice, either, but at least it doesn't make my kids break out in a rash. I'm so happy to see that this is available at Amazon, and is also now listed on the Neutrogena website again - I'm hoping that they have decided to keep making it (or make it again?) We also love the Neutrogena foot creme, and it disappeared from stores at about the same time as the body moisturizer. It is also available now at Amazon, and the Neutrogena wesite. It heals cracked heels in just a few days - my kids use it constantly, esp in the winter. It isn't fragrance-free, but it doesn't bother their skin. I like these products so much that I have given them to friends and relatives as Christmas gifts - I'm a very practical person.

Update: I just called Neutrogena again re this product. The customer service rep seemed to know less about this product than I did, but he did tell me that it has been discontinued. He had no explaination for why it is back on their website again. Not very helpful. He tried to encourage me to buy their "body wrap moisturizer", which we have already tried and did not like. He did confirm that the "body wrap" (red box) stuff is NOT the same product, just repackaged, but is a different formula entirely. He didn't really need to tell me that, it's pretty obvious. Too bad, I guess they had too many customers. He did tell me that the foot creme is still made, so no need to stockpile there.
mistake to stop making this by Neutrogena
As it seems once again corporate has a popular good product but they see fit to cancel a great product & replace it with a smaller in size more expensive replacement to make more money, They will lose me as a customer (and I suspect many others also)but they are counting on most just paying more for less! Oh well there are other products out there that cost less!
Best Value I Could Find!
I started looking on Amazon for my product because it is not showing up in the
department stores where I had bought it - Fred Meyers and Walmart. When I dis-
covered I could buy it in quantity at a bargain price, there was no doubt about
my decision. I shall not need it for a while because I received 3 bottles, but
when I am out I shall return to Amazon.
I love it too!
I agree with the other reviewers. This is the best lotion I've ever used. It is nongreasy, and really helps replace and retain moisture in the skin.
Love it!
This product really works! I had rough dry skin on my feet that my former lotion didn't seem to help. Within a week of using this product, my feet look and feel better than they have in a long time. I love the lack of fragrance. A little goes a long way, and it smooths into the skin nicely. This is no-nonsense product that really does the job.
