First impressions matter, and this cream delivers with its silky texture that glides effortlessly onto the skin. The light coconut scent is subtle—not overpowering like some tropical-scented products. It absorbs quickly, which is a huge plus for my morning routine when I’m rushing to apply makeup.

I’ve been using it for a month now, and my dry patches have visibly softened. A little goes a long way—just a pea-sized amount covers my entire face. Bonus: it doubles as a hand cream without leaving that annoying greasy film!

However, there’s a caveat. While most reviewers rave about the scent, I did notice it doesn’t smell like fresh coconuts—more like toasted coconut with a faint herbal note (probably the neem extract). If you’re expecting a piña colada vibe, temper those expectations.

The ethical sourcing is what truly sells me. Knowing my purchase supports women-led cooperatives in West Africa makes the slight scent quirk worth overlooking. Pro tip: The pump lock feature is genius for travel—no more exploded lotion in my toiletry bag!

Would I repurchase? Absolutely, especially during winter when my skin turns into a flaky mess. But if you have oily skin, test a small amount first—the richness might be too much for your T-zone.
