Based on other reviews I purchased this product. It does not absorb easily and it smells like chocolate gone bad. I ended up using it on my feet and it didn't absorb at all and stuck to my socks or sheets. At least it is fairly inexpensive, because I tossed it out.

My son loves this stuff. Athletic and hey, gets face injuries.

Great lip moisturizer.

The interesting thing about this product is that it's not just marketed as a lip balm/chapstick. It's used as a spot treatment for dry skin and rough marks as well. Very smart advertising, Palmer's! Cocoa butter does help with all those issues. I'm glad to see that they haven't limited themselves by having this product labeled as a plain lip product. The half-oz size is great, too. This is a thick tube and with just two swipes your lips are covered. You get a lot of product for your money. It smells heavenly. The cocoa scent isn't too strong; it's just right. I was expecting it to be a flesh tone/neutral brown color when I first popped open the lid. I appears as though Palmer's uses the deodorized/processed type of cocoa butter because this stick is white. Cocoa extract is the first ingredient, however, so it is something of a trade-off. Maybe in manufacturing cost? On the lips it is divine. Not too shiny and not too matte. Would make a great primer and lip protector to wear under lipstick. For my own personal use I think I'm going to push the product out into a bowl, mix it with more pure cocoa butter(the raw kind), heat it up, mix it, then pour it back into the applicator when it is nearly cooled. The second ingredient in the product is mineral oil and the third is microcrystaline wax. I prefer a thicker lip balm than what these two ingredients can help create. As much as I like the product I really think I have to give it an 8.5 on a 10 point scale. I would have liked to have seen this with a higher butter content than a synthetic ingredient such as mineral oil.

While this is supposed to be a general skin product as opposed to a lip product, it is formulated more like a lip balm. It's not nearly as easy to apply as a more liquid cream. But it smells wonderful and, while I can certainly feel it on my skin for some time after application, it's not an irritating greasy feel.

Before moving to Helena from Eastern Oregon, I thought I knew what a dry climate was...wrong! Since then I have been trying many different lip balms and glosses that typically seem too waxy, sticky, expensive, or any combination of the above. After reading reviews here I decided to buy a stick at my local drugstore. This product is great! It comes in a larger tube that makes it quick and easy to cover my lips. It smells great, moisturizes well and gives a slight gloss that absorbs fairly quickly into my lips and makes them feel soft with no stickiness or waxiness. It does not irritate my sensitive skin and can also be used on a recent surgery scar if needed. Multi-purpose!

best smelling cocoa butter product i ever used. handy to carry in your purse or pocket, like lipstick. it's about that small.

This is the only product I have ever used that keeps my lips from getting dry and cracked. I use all day long, although it's probably not necessary to apply that often.

This product is not only great for your lips, but also amazing for dry spots on your face. I tend to get dry skin in the winter around my nose and eyes and Palmer's is perfect for those areas and leaves no shiny residue.

Amazingly good at softening dry, cracked lips! About a year ago I purchased 6 top-rated lip glosses. I liked most of them... all good products. I didn't expect much. However, the one I tried last, Palmer's Cocoa Butter, was the only one that significantly changed the condition of my lips. I've had dry cracked lips for about 30 years. Now I have soft, smooth lips. No more cracks. I wouldn't have believed it possible. Better kissing. Smells great. Lasts overnight. Comes in a larger than average stick. Great product!
