Palmer's: Cocoa Butter Formula Body Wash - Our Review

Things We Love:

  • No Irritations: The body wash didn't cause any dryness, itchiness or breakouts.
  • Cleanses Well: I felt like the body wash did a thorough job of cleansing my skin and didn't leave any soap residue or stickiness.
  • The Scent: I love that unique scent that most Palmer's products have. The cocoa-butter scent is not overwhelming and only lasts on your skin for a few minutes after using.
  • Price: Can't beat a $5 body wash.

Somethings We Weren't Crazy About

  • The Moisturizing (or lack thereof): While the body wash didn't make my skin dry, it also didn't make it exceptionally silky-soft as the product promises. After several uses, my skin didn't feel any more moisturized than normal. Which is what we'd expect from a body cleanser, but this one is advertised as moisturizing.

Palmer's: Cocoa Butter Formula Body Wash - Final Thoughts

This body wash is not a must-have, and you probably won't get super moisturized skin after using it, but it's a great priced body wash that is worth trying if you have sensitive skin and are shopping around for something new. If you are like me and you love that famous Palmer's scent, you'll be happy with the scent.
