Palmer's Coconut Body Butter, described as "luxuriously creamy", is indeed a very nice product. I am trying to remember to apply to my dry elbows and other parts of my body but where it is scoring high points is the improvement it has made to my hands. A cream cannot work unless it is used and this is often where I fall down. However now that I am keeping it in my work bag, I am using it frequently on my very dry, rough hands. As a clinical nurse, hand-washing is the cornerstone of infection control. For me this can mean washing hands up to ten times in one afternoon. A large blob applied at the end of my session is very soothing and replaces much of the moisture lost. The butter is not too greasy or slimy. It absorbs well and has the distinctive, pleasantly fragrant odour of coconut. I would recommend this product to anyone with dry skin. Louise Pollard
I really loved Palmer's Shea Body Butter which had a pleasant banana-like, yet subtle and not sickly, fragrance. It is thick and rich but smoothes on incredibly well and a little goes a long way. It is great on dry skin: I have had a patch of dry skin on my knee that has persisted despite daily application of my usual body moisturiser but this disappeared within a couple of days of using the Palmer's butter. I also found that it was not at all greasy and absorbed really quickly. I'd definitely buy this butter regularly. Sian Minett
The other weekend my hands were literally sore and hurting with dryness. I applied Palmer's Olive Body Butter and had immediate relief. Use over a couple of days saw a marked improvement. On the container it says for moderately dry or aging skin (whose isn't!) and it is made with extra virgin oil and contains vitamin E - two important ingredients. In winter my legs often get dry as well and they absorbed the Olive Body Butter and felt nourished and less taut. Great for using after removing hard skin on your feet. A great cream, easily applied and absorbs quickly - triple star! Anne Coates
Having used Palmer's Cocoa Butter for about two weeks now, I am pleased with the effect. The combination of the specially formulated cocoa butter blended together with moisture rich emollients and vitamin E has had a soothing and softening effect. I have spread it on to my skin regularly after showering and found that it is quickly and easily absorbed. The cream is also economical to use as it goes a long way. As well as leaving my skin smooth, I would also recommend use of the Cocoa Butter to soften areas of particularly rough, dry and flaky skin. In my case this is small areas affected by psoriasis on my elbows and the rough, hard skin on my heels. Julia Bairstow
