Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Palmers - s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Cream for Stretch Marks" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Palmers - s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Cream for Stretch Marks ticks this box. Soluble collagen, glucose, butylene glycol and caprylyl glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Petrolatum, theobroma cacao seed butter, butyrospermum parkii butter, cocos nucifera oil and dimethicone in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
