Sostar Body Cream with Cocoa Butter: hydration with sweet aroma
The Sostar Body Cream with Cocoa Butter is a 75ml tube cream enriched with cocoa butter and shea butter. Deeply hydrates the skin, leaves it shiny and cool and has very good absorption, without leaving residue. It stands out for its wonderful cocoa butter aroma, making the moment of care more enjoyable.
Its small size makes it easy to fit in a bag, in the office drawer or in the suitcase.
Two plant butters with a long history
Cocoa butter is extracted from the seeds of the cacao tree, the same plant that gives us chocolate. The seeds are fermented, dried, roasted and pressed to separate the fatty part. At room temperature it is solid, but it melts close to body temperature, which is why it spreads so pleasantly on the skin.
Shea butter, or shea butter, comes from the fruits of the shea tree of West Africa. It has been used for centuries to protect the skin from the sun and dry air. Both butters are rich in fatty acids and have emollient action. They create a thin layer on the surface that helps to retain the skin's moisture.
What it contains and how you feel it
- Cocoa butter: the main ingredient, which also gives the characteristic sweet aroma.
- Shea butter: for extra nourishment and softness.
Despite the rich butters, the texture absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy feeling, so you can dress almost immediately.
The best time of day for hydration
The most effective time for a body cream is a few minutes after a bath. Then the skin is still slightly moist and soft, and the cream spreads more easily. In the evenings, a short massage on the feet and hands before bed can become a relaxing habit. In winter, when clothes rub and heating dries the air, elbows, knees and ankles often need a second application during the day.
Who will love it
Those who have dry skin on the body, especially in areas such as elbows, knees and ankles. Those who cannot tolerate sticky creams and need something that absorbs easily. Lovers of sweet, 'gourmet' fragrances. And those who want an inexpensive, small cream for travel or as a supplement after the beach and sun.
How to use
Apply the cream to clean, dry skin, ideally after a bath, and massage in circular motions until absorbed. Repeat as often as needed, paying attention to the driest areas. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
