Coco Island Paw Paw Ointment

I brought this as a cheaper version of paw paw ointment. It generally is the sane and you can use on dry skin or cuts etc but find it a little greasy and doesn't absorb as well as the original paw paw

I recently bought this off ILOVEBEAUTY and fell in love with it right away. It came in a good sized bottle and love the packaging. It is exactly the same as Lucas PawPaw but even better. I find that it is less oily than the lucas one which is a bonus for me personally.

I have always been a fan of 'Lucas paw paw ointment ', but I came across this product for less so I decided to give it a chance. It was in a similar tube and the ointment looked almost identical to the Lucas brand. There was not a lot of difference as far as I am concerned. However once sold on a product loyalty and trust can be hard to relent, so I still buy the Lucas pawpaw brand.

So I have a mixed review on this, I love papaw ointment in general and this particular brand seems to do as good a job as the Lucas brand BUT I am not sure if my tube is faulty. Mine was not a smooth texture but had some grainy bits thru out the whole tube. Made it very unpleasant especially due to what I needed it for. I had a misadventure with a teeth whitening product and it had come into contact with the inner part of my lips, even causing a blister in one spot! So it's been a touch painful! I started off just applying lip balm then remembered I had 2 new tubes of papaw ointment. I thought I'd try this brand as I received it for Xmas, so it was still sealed, it made a huge difference but the grainy bits hurt on the raw skin of my lips, so I opened the Lucas brand which is smooth and while doing the same job is more pleasant. Since using the papaw ointment my lips are healing super quick. I'd be interesting in knowing if anyone else has grainy bits in their tube!

I came across this in one of my grocery shops . I’ve always been curious with these paw paw balms. I often get dry heels , arms and skin. I’m always on the lookout for something that’s hydrating .

Packaging is bright orange. Consistency is creamy vaseline type fluid that has a sweet fruit scent like papaya. Application it goes on like butter. It melts into my skin feeling soft and smooth.

Overall I noticed that my skin was temporarily hydrated. It last’s for a few weeks and my skin goes back to dry again.

I used this as I am a fan of the Lucas pawpaw so thought to try this out. I will admit it smells nice and is moisturising. But ultimately does the same job that vaseline does so probably wont buy again.
