All about: Roccoco Botanicals Frangipani and Lychee Body Crème

A few months ago I was lucky enough to interview Jacine Greenwood – CEO and chief Cosmetic Chemist as well as founder of Roccoco Botanicals, AKA one of Australasia’s fastest growing beauty brands that I had hitherto never heard of! Jacine was a fantastic subject to connect with, and to say the brand is advancing internationally at the rate of knots would be putting it mildly. Name-dropped in Forbes? Check. Won an international award for its formulation? Double check. Legions of northern hemisphere fans that keeps on growing? The icing on the cake.
I had already fallen in love with Roccoco’s award-winning Ruby Crystal Cleanser when I was sent a tub of their Frangipani and Lychee Body Crème, which is also garnering a major buzz with good reason. Google it and you’ll find all manner of astounding ‘before and after’ shots posted by genuine customers, its transformative properties super impressive given that it’s a product created for the body, as opposed to the face (which normally gets all the good ingredients thrown at it!).
Called a “Tummy Tuck in a Jar™ by its creators, Frangipani and Lychee Body Creme is a pregnancy-safe four-in-one body cream designed to target the appearance of stretch-marks, cellulite, uneven skin tone, sagging skin, and ageing skin. Containing naturally occurring Vitamins A, C and E from Acai oil and Murumuru butter along with the likes of sustainably sourced un-roasted shea butter and avocado extract, the little wonder has a truly transformative effect over time, leaving skin strengthened and pigmentation diminished for a more even skin tone and general neck down glow.

Jacine reportedly lovingly calls the Frangipani and Lychee body crème her “miracle cream”. Already a winner of a prestigious international Allè award for Roccoco’s Ruby Crystal face cleanser, the beauty game changer says this body cream will transform the lives of so many women. “It is a life-changing and life-enhancing product. I’m really proud of this miracle cream,” she says, and I for one am loving the results after just a few weeks’ use.
Rich enough to quench post-winter skin but also fast-absorbing so absolutely perfect for right now, this wonder is a great addition to your regime at any age and stage. The smell is absolutely divine but subtle enough not to overpower your perfume, and I love that the jar it comes in is substantial but not too heavy to throw in your luggage when you head off on holiday. I’ve been using it post-swims and as a spot treatment for the odd accidental sunburn (yikes!), and I can’t get enough.
Available right now here and with more and more New Zealand stockists jumping on board every day, this beauty comes highly recommended. I can’t wait to see what Jacine and her team do next!
