I've found great reasonably priced cocoa butter and other wonderful
oils in the aisle for cosmetics for black people. Black people,
including Roy, my husband, are often troubled with dry skin,
especially during the winters when their elbows and knees get "ashy"
or sort of dusty grey (flakes of dry skin look sorta greu against dark
skin). Some of these oils are beautifully scented and in pump sprays
to help black people manage their hair (especially if they've been
trying to straighten it).

Great oils for removing New Skin in the black beauty supply isle are:

"Africare 100% Cocoa Butter" (smells like chocolate,....yum!) Comes in
a convenient tube like chapstick but larger.

"Ginseng Miracle Wonder 8 Oil", containing Jojoba oil, Tea Tree Oil,
Kukui Nut oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Ginseng Extrace, Avodado Oil,
Cocoanut Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, rosemary, Sage, Angelica, Licorice
Extract, Job's Tears Cedar, Clove, Balm Mint, Chamomile, Hyacinth
..... a very light oil and damn it smells good!

There are lots of others...
The cheapest cocoa butter I've gotten is for .99 for 4 oz at Mark's
Drugstore, generic and great quality.
