Pamper Your Skin: Cococare

I had the pleasure of speaking with Joanne Schlesinger, Director of Marketing, at Cococare last week. Cococare has been formulating health and beauty aids for over 40 years and has the #1 selling 100% cocoa butter stick on the market today.

As I’m sure you probably already know, cocoa butter as well as other natural butters and vitamins like shea, vitamin E and vitamin C, do wonders for our skin. As mothers, when we are pregnant and even afterwards, cocoa butter helps to fight against stretch marks — naturally. Cococare’s 100% Cocoa Butter Stick, recently seen on Oprah, is a wonderful moisturizer to rub on your growing belly during pregnancy and even helps prevent stretch marks that are common during weight loss. 

Cococare also has a full line of products targeted to those who want 100% moisturizing care. In addition to their 100% Cocoa Butter Stick, they also have 100% Vitamin E Oil and 100% Shea Butter. These product categories include creams, lotions, body oils and lip balms.

And, especially for moms, Cococare has created a line called Maternity Solutions that will serve you well during and after pregnancy. Not only do they have a special stretch mark cream, Cococare also has a  cream for painful breasts that may result from pregnancy and they have a nipple cream with lanolin for breastfeeding moms in the works.

One of the things I love about Cococare is that they do not test on animals. Animal testing is a deciding factor for me when I am making purchasing decisions for me and my family.

You can find Cococare in Walgreens, CVS and Wal-Mart and on their Web site, www.cococare.com.
