Did you know that today is the last day of National Chocolate Week? I didn't know (although it doesn't surprise me) that there was such a thing. Anyway, in case you didn't know, National Chocolate Week is from October 10th through October 16th. Now given my love for all things chocolate, I love the fact that I can indulge for one week and celebrate with others. Yeah!
If you are a fan of chocolate (I have yet to meet anyone who is NOT) then you are going to love this review. How about celebrating this special week by pampering your body in a chocolate spa treatment? Yes, you heard right. :) Palmer's is a well-known skin care company that provides us with beauty products made from cocoa butter. I have always loved cocoa butter and until now, was not aware that it was soooo good for my skin.
Before I continue, here is a bit more about this company...
E.T. Browne Drug Company is one of the longest standing proprietors of skin and hair care products in the United States. The company has been family owned since the middle of the nineteenth century and has been under the current ownership since 1971. E.T. Browne Drug Company has been headquartered in New Jersey for over 50 years.
Under the current ownership, the revolutionary brand Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula was created and introduced to the world. Since that time Palmer’s has expanded on its vast knowledge and heritage, developing brand ranges such as Skin Success, Shea Butter Formula, Olive Butter Formula, Coconut Oil Formula, Olive Oil Formula and Hair Success. These brands give E.T. Browne a strong presence in important market segments such as skin care, pregnancy, skin fade care, and hair care. Palmer’s has a global presence; available in over 80 countries offering the #1 Cocoa Butter brand in the world. This unique heritage and commitment to quality has stood the test of time, making Palmer’s a trusted household name, used by families for generations.
Upon further research on Palmer's website, I was very pleased to find Susan G. Komen as one of their charitable affiliations. As October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I think that this is a very notable and appropriate charity to be a part of.
For this review, I was sent several Palmer's products to try and let me tell you...they are luscious!!! If you are a chocolate fan, than you are going to love these products. I was sent:
The first product that I tried was the Body Wash. It is a light tan color and VERY silky. I loved how it smelled (nice and chocolatey) and how it made my skin feel soft and smooth. This is a really nice product. This body wash is infused with Vitamin E, which is used to fight ageing in the skin. Now, I don't consider myself OLD yet, but know that I love using a product that will help prevent the signs and stages of aging. Oh yes, the suggested retail price is only $4.99 which makes this body wash extremely affordable.
Next, I tried the Lip Butters. My favorite is the Dark Chocolate & Cherry Lip Butter...YUMMM!!! It tastes just like black forest cake. I am also a pregnant lady and chocolate tastes really good to me right now. So, this is definitely a Lip Butter to have on hand at all times. These Lip Butters retail for $2.25 each.
My body is in some definite need of TLC after two pregnancies and another right now. When I say this, I am referring to the stretch marks that I have accumulated. I get stretch marks on my belly, hips and breasts. Sorry if that is TMI, but it is the truth and if you are a mom then you know exactly what I am talking about. This is where the Skin Therapy Oil comes into play. Cocoa Butter Oil is perfect for expectant/new mothers who are looking to improve the appearance of stretch marks. This is great news for me as I have loads of stretch marks and have heard wonderful things about this oil. I am using it now and hope to see some lovely results! I am also looking forward to using it on my growing belly to soothe and smooth it. The Skin Therapy Oil retails for $10.99.
The Lotion is also a lovely product. I enjoy smelling chocolatey when I snuggle under the blankets at night. My hubby also really likes cocoa butter and will also appreciate this product. Cocoa Butter Lotion is wonderful for rough and dry skin and is formulated to soften and protect your skin as well. I like a multi-faceted product. This product retails for $5.10.
It's hard for me to pick a favorite product out of all these so I will just say that they are all wonderful and will come in handy...especially during these next few months of pregnancy.
So, in my opinion...I am now a fan of Palmer's and their amazing Cocoa Butter beauty products. Each and every one of them is luxurious in their own way and my body is loving the extra TLC I have been giving it through Palmer's.
