Ultimate Organics Cocoa Butter & Shea Butter Cream 8oz
Dry skin that goes tight and ashy after washing needs something heavier than a lotion, and a butter based cream does better work there. Ultimate Organics build this one on cocoa butter and shea butter, two of the richest emollients you can put on skin, whipped into a cream that spreads rather than dragging.
It sinks in without leaving a slippery film, so you can dress soon after. Elbows, knees, shins and the backs of the hands take it well, and it is thick enough to be worth using on the driest patches rather than spread thin over the whole body.
Both butters bring fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins that soften the surface of the skin and help hold moisture in after a shower, which is when skin loses it fastest. Skin looks less dull and feels smoother rather than coated.
An 8oz jar for anyone with genuinely dry skin, and a sound option for hands and feet through winter.

Application tips
Best applied within a few minutes of stepping out of the bath, while the skin is still slightly damp. That is when a butter-based cream has water to hold onto.
Warm a scoop between your palms until it loosens, then press it into elbows, knees, heels and shins, the places that go grey and tight first. A thinner layer everywhere else. Reapply to hands after washing up.
Results
Thick enough to stay where you put it, so dry patches get sustained cover rather than a quick shine that has gone by lunchtime.
Ashiness lifts on the first application, and rough skin over knees and elbows softens across a week of daily use. The finish is rich without being greasy once it has sunk in, and the cocoa scent is the warm, faintly chocolatey one you would expect.
