Updated: 1 day ago
American Dream is one of the original natural hair and body care brands that built its reputation on cocoa butter before the ingredient became a staple in mainstream beauty. Available at IBS Beauty Dubai, the American Dream range covers hair treatments, body creams and scalp products, all built around the brand's core cocoa butter formula.
If you have been searching for American Dream products in the UAE, this is your guide to what is available and which product is right for you.
About American Dream as a Brand
American Dream is an African American beauty brand that has been producing cocoa butter-based hair and body care products for decades. The brand is particularly known in the Caribbean and African diaspora communities, and its customer base in the UAE comes largely from expats who used these products growing up and want to continue using them. The formulas are rich, unashamedly thick and built for hair and skin that needs serious moisture.
American Dream Cocoa Butter Products
Cocoa Butter Body Cream
The core product in the range. American Dream's Cocoa Butter Body Cream is a dense, rich body moisturiser that absorbs more slowly than standard lotions, which is exactly what makes it effective for dry skin in the UAE. Apply after a shower on damp skin to lock in moisture before air conditioning strips it out. The scent is warm, natural cocoa butter with no artificial fragrance.
Cocoa Butter Hair Treatment
A deep conditioning treatment specifically for dry, brittle or heat-damaged hair. The cocoa butter base coats the hair shaft and seals in moisture. Works well as a pre-shampoo treatment: apply to dry hair from root to tip, leave for 30 minutes, then wash out. Can also be used as a hot oil treatment when gently warmed.
Scalp and Hair Formula
American Dream also produces a scalp-focused formula that targets dry scalp and flaking caused by moisture loss rather than yeast. Different from anti-dandruff treatments, this is a maintenance product for scalps that are just dry. Apply a small amount directly to the scalp, section by section, and massage in.

How to Use American Dream Cocoa Butter on Natural Hair
The Cocoa Butter Hair Treatment works particularly well as a pre-poo (pre-shampoo treatment) for natural hair in the UAE. The method:
Section dry hair into four to eight sections.
Apply the cocoa butter treatment generously from scalp to ends.
Cover with a plastic cap and leave for 30 to 60 minutes. Gentle heat from a hood dryer or warm towel increases absorption.
Shampoo as normal. The treatment protects the hair shaft from the drying effect of shampoo.
Follow with your usual conditioner. Hair will feel significantly softer and more elastic.
