You’ve slathered it on. Waited. Checked again.
And somehow… your skin still looks dry. Still feels dull. Still whispers that it needs more.
The truth? Most over-the-counter lotions were never designed for melanin-rich skin. They’re watered-down, fragrance-filled, and surface-deep. They may work for a moment, but moments don’t build moisture—and they don’t build confidence.
Why Lotion Isn’t Cutting It
Lotions often have water as the first ingredient. That might sound good, but it evaporates fast—leaving you just as dry as before. And to preserve that water? Harsh chemicals and synthetic preservatives are added that don’t always love your skin the way your skin needs to be loved.
For melanin-rich skin, which tends to be thicker, drier, and lower in natural ceramides, surface moisture just isn’t enough. You need depth. You need restoration. You need products that feed your skin, not just flirt with it.
Here’s What Melanin-Rich Skin Actually Needs
💛 Occlusives like shea and cocoa butter to lock in hydration
💛 Emollients like castor, almond, and jojoba oil to soften and restore
💛 Brightening agents like licorice root and kojic acid to even out tone over time
These ingredients do more than just “make it look better.” They go deeper—nourishing the skin’s structure, fading discolored areas, and supporting the natural turnover of fresh, glowing skin.
The Balm Is Better—Here’s Why
Our Eve Rich Body Balm and Esther Body Oil weren’t designed to be pretty on a shelf. They were born out of necessity—crafted to meet the deeper needs of skin like yours. The kind that gets ashy. The kind that scars easily. The kind that glows brilliantly when it’s given what it truly needs.
✨ Balm > Lotion for long-lasting moisture
✨ Oil > Lotion for absorption that heals, not hides
✨ Exfoliation + hydration = results that actually last
Clean Ingredients. Real Results. Confidence That Stays.
Your skin deserves more than lotion. It deserves legacy-level care—products that reflect the richness of who you are, inside and out.
And at COCOZOË, we believe you shouldn’t have to settle. Not for lotions that evaporate. Not for formulas that ignore your melanin. Not for anything less than what actually works.
So if you’ve been wondering why your skin still feels thirsty after your old routine—it’s time to upgrade your glow game.
Your skin has waited long enough.
