Our verdict

A larger cocoa butter and vitamin E body oil ranked well within its actual category, worth choosing over the smaller size if you go through body oil quickly, but note it is not a facial product despite where it is listed.

Overview

Palmer's 4170 is an 8.5 ounce cocoa butter body oil with vitamin E, formulated for dryness across the whole body and marketed for bath and shower use. Despite sitting in a Face Oils category on this listing, the title and target-use data point to a body product.

This is the larger, whole-body counterpart to Palmer's smaller cocoa butter oils, aimed at post-shower use rather than facial application, and again filed under a Face Oils category that does not match its actual use. The paraben-free, phthalate-free formulation with vitamin E added as an antioxidant follows the same approach as other Palmer's cocoa butter products.

  • 8.5 fluid ounce cocoa butter body oil
  • Formulated with vitamin E as an antioxidant
  • Paraben-free and phthalate-free
  • Ranked #15 among Amazon body oils

Who it's for

Suited to buyers wanting a larger bottle of cocoa butter oil for regular whole-body use after bathing or showering, not for anyone shopping specifically for a face oil since the category tag on this listing does not match the product. A good fit for people already familiar with Palmer's cocoa butter line who want a bigger size than the smaller companion bottles.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Paraben-free and phthalate-free cocoa butter and vitamin E formula
  • Larger 8.5 ounce size for regular whole-body use
  • Ranked #15 among Amazon body oils
Cons
  • Listed under a Face Oils category despite being a whole-body product, which can mislead at a glance
  • Scented with cocoa butter, not an option for buyers wanting fragrance-free

Performance notes

The cocoa butter and vitamin E combination works as an emollient barrier applied after bathing while skin is still damp, which is when body oils absorb most effectively, with vitamin E contributing antioxidant support alongside the moisturizing base. Being paraben-free and phthalate-free keeps the formula free of those specific additive classes without changing how the oil itself moisturizes. At 8.5 fluid ounces, it is the larger of Palmer's cocoa butter oil sizes in this catalog.
