Chocolate Strawberry Velvety Soft Cocoa Butter Hand & Body Cream
Fall/Winter (Oct-Feb)
Made for the Ashland Chocolate Festival each March. Available while our seasonal batch lasts.
The cream that smells so good people ask if they can eat it. They cannot. But they will ask.
Real strawberry distillate. Real cocoa butter. A scent so accurate to chocolate-dipped strawberries that your brain will briefly question whether you're moisturizing or snacking. This is the cream people beg us to make year-round. We make it once a year, for the Ashland Chocolate Festival, and when it's gone, it's gone until next winter.
The texture lands somewhere between lotion and butter: rich enough to actually moisturize, light enough to absorb without leaving you slick. Five nourishing oils sink in fast. Your skin feels soft for hours. And that scent lingers just long enough to make people lean in and ask what you're wearing.
"I'm an 80s kid. Strawberry Shortcake dolls were everything. That sweet strawberry scent is burned into my memory. When I finally got the formula right on this cream, I stood there in the studio with my eyes closed, seven years old again. People beg us to make it year-round. I get it. But some things are worth waiting for."
Why You'll Love The Chocolate Strawberry Cocoa Butter Cream
- Actually smells like the real thing: Strawberry distillate delivers true fruit scent, not synthetic candy. The chocolate comes from real cocoa butter plus a touch of chocolate essence.
- Absorbs without the grease: Satin-smooth texture sinks in fast. No slippery residue, no waiting around to get dressed.
- Serious moisture, playful scent: Five oils plus shea and cocoa butters. This isn't just a nice smell; it's a working cream.
- Antioxidant bonus: Strawberry distillate brings vitamin C and antioxidants along for the ride.
- Glass packaging: 8 oz recyclable glass bottle. Keeps the cream fresher, keeps plastic out of landfills.
This Is Why We Do It
"A few years ago I received a free sample of this when I purchased my favorite go-to lotion. I didn't think I'd like the strawberry-chocolate scent, but it's heavenly. As a teacher I'm washing my hands all day, and this lotion keeps them healthy and puts a smile on my face with the fragrance. And my students are always saying I smell yummy!"
How to Use It
Apply to hands and body whenever skin needs moisture or you need a mood boost. Works beautifully after a shower when skin is slightly damp. A little goes further than you'd expect. For longest shelf life, store in a cool place or refrigerate; use within six months of opening.
