Twenty ounces of cocoa butter cream is a commitment, and that is exactly the appeal. This is a workhorse tub for households where more than one person needs a moisturiser, and it covers hair and skin without pretending to be specialised at either.

On dry, brittle hair it works as a softening and sealing step. Smoothed over damp lengths it flattens frizz, adds shine and makes detangling less of a fight, and less fighting with a comb is where the reduction in breakage actually comes from. On skin it is a straightforward rich body cream for legs, elbows and anywhere that goes dry in winter.

Warm it in your hands first so it spreads instead of clumping. On hair, keep it to the mid-lengths and ends unless your scalp is genuinely dry, and use it on damp hair rather than dry for the best of it.

Application tips

A tub this size wants a scoop rather than a handful. Take a small amount and work it between the palms until it turns from solid to slippery, then press it into damp hair from the ends up.

On the scalp, part into rows and apply straight to the skin, then massage. For the body, put it on after a bath while the skin still holds water, which stops it feeling like a layer sitting on top.

Results

Brittle hair softens and the frizz across the surface lies down. Cocoa butter has enough weight to stay put, so the softness lasts the day instead of fading by mid-afternoon.

Scalp skin feels comfortable rather than tight. On the body it does the same work, taking the roughness off dry patches. The scent is the warm cocoa one everybody recognises, and 20oz means there is no need to ration it.
