cocoa butter not absorbing well
October 26 2006 at 2:20 AM dandelion1 (Login dandelion1)
hello!
i'vw been using cocoa butter and vitamin e for a while and i'm not seeing any results, yet i've read posts that most women at least see an added fullness. so maybe its because my cocoa butter isn't absorbing well- it's greasy and it ends up rubbing off on my bra. i'm using Karite 3% cocoa butter 2x day, and sometimes 100% (in cream/oil form i do not need to heat it up) from Jason - but i don't use this often as it reaaly doesn't absorb because it's so oily. Can anybody suggest a good brand that abosorbs quickly? preferably with at least 3% cocoa......
THANKS!!!!!!!!

I use 100% pure cocoa butter. It's made by NOW and comes in a tub. It is hard and needs to be melted down. I use it mainly at night. After my massage, I spread it all over my breast area (under arms, under breasts, on top of breasts, and way above my breasts). Then I put a shirt on and use my heating bag (bag that has corn in it that I heat in the microwave, no higher that 110 degrees). This process is very messy. That's why I really only do it at night. However, Palmers makes a breast firming cream (I have the full name on my Program Page) with cocoa butter and vitamin e. It absorbs quickly into your skin after doing a massage. It works great if you need to immedately put on a bra after your massage. I can usually find it at my local WalMart. It comes in a tube, not a tub or bottle. I hope this helps!

thanks i will try that brand next (i'm finished mine now). do you find that the heating pad affects the absorbancy, or does your cocoa butter (100%) get absorbed in your t-shirt? I have 100% cocoa butter that is in oil form and even if i try to massage to get it to penetrate easier for 20 minutes, even 40 minutes sometimes, i feel as if NONE has been absorbed. After 40 minutes i give up and wipe it off (not with water, just a dry clothed). I've read about scientific experiments in which 50mg of cocoa butter needs to be absorbed by each breast for an a-cup to become a b-cup, and that vitamin e is necessary to keep the gain (or the breast will go back to an a-cup), because the cocoa butter mimicks body fat in the sense that the fat cells will enlarge (and possibly split). 50 mg of pure cocoa butter is A LOT!!! i cant get 5 mg to absorb in one sitting because its so oily!!! appartently it takes 19 hours of massage for 50mg to be absorbed in each - but honestly i don't know how thats possible.
i'll try to find where i found this experiment and i'll post the link
thanks surf!

after a lot of search i found the site, hers the link
http://v3.espacenet.com/textdes?IDX=EP10...=EP1063961
its interesting because this site is not trying to promote a brand or sell anything at all, its really just a research. If you want to see the origninal pdf format it is available, and the research was done in 1998; a bit old but cocoa butter is cocoa butter right?

Wow, what a cool article! Thanks so much for the link! Considering my age, 42, it could take me 42.8 hours to absorb the needed 50!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!!!! Oh well, I've been doing NBE for almost 8 months now...what's a few more hours!?!?!?
By morning, all the cocoa butter has been absorbed. I'm sure some gets absorbed into my shirt, but my shirt isn't completely oily or anything like that in the morning. So, I really don't know how much gets absorbed into my boobs. However, the article reminded me of something that I read on this forum ages ago. It mentioned using heat PRIOR to applying the cocoa butter. I think I'll start doing that to see if it makes a difference!
Thanks again for the interesting link!

I'm not so convinced with that article. We saw that article back in March and I have been massaging it faithfully since then at least twice a day and there has not even been a slight change. I don't think it works for everyone...at least not in my case. I know some have said they have had success with it but massaging alone has been successful for some too.

if the cocoa butter you are using does not seem to be producing results you can always switch to another brand. And verify the % of actual cocoa seeds; some creams call themselves 'cocoa butter' but contain less than 1% of it. I've created my own cream today consisting of 40% cocoa butter (40% of the cream is formed with 100% cocoa oil) 30% vitamin e and 30% regular lotion (Aveeno positively smooth).
This should help with the absorbancy and at least i'll get more cocoa butter than in an already mixed product. My goal is to able to massage to total absorbancy.
i'll let you know how it goes!!!
