Do you prefer cocoa butter over shea butter?

I don't use a great deal of either of them but I do use them. I make several different types of lotion depending on the time of year and which part of my body I plan on using them. I don't use either of them in my face creams but stick to very light oils such Rice Bran oil, Jojoba or Olive Squalane. For body lotions in the Summer I will use some cocoa butter. It make the lotions light but rich enough to do a good job. During the Winter months I use a combo of cocoa and shea for body lotion. It make a very rich creamy lotion that works very well for me. But for year-round, I make a very thick cream for my feet. That's when I use a lot of shea. It keeps my feet in good shape, keeps the rough spots down to a minimum.

For some reason I have always been a huge fan of cocoa butter , and it was always around my house when growing up . very great to have around during the summer after you are outside all day . suppose i like it because it leaves my skin real soft and helps with markings on the skin , and even tones . it does much more for my body , and kinda leaves a nice glow.

Cocoa butter becuase the smell is so delicious and you seem to find it in more products. Lush have a lot of products with cocoa butter in, and there's also Palmer's Cocoa Butter which smells of chocolate and is just heavenly to use! I think shea butter is supposed to be more moisturising but doesn't have a much scent, and iknow you can use it in shampoo & conditiners too.

Dear friend, I do like the smell of cocoa butter it much like a chocolate and rarely I use both. I do mostly use cheese butter. May be the milk butter. Both of these are great demand and rarely available in near by stores of our home. I had know that some use it as face creams too.

Cocoa butter because o fthe smell... When I was younger I used to open the cap to the tube of cocoa butter cream and I would just smell it.
