Have you tried extra virgin(i.e. - cold pressed) coconut oil. I just went out and bought some lotion and then did some research and it would appear that a lot of these formulations have ingredients that mimic estrogen. Sure enough, I checked the ingredients on the bottle I just bought and there it was - one of the ingredients I was warned about.

Anyway, I can't imagine you could do any harm with coconut oil so long as it isn't chemically processed. Then again, it might not do the trick. I use it in the shower by grossly applying it and then spread it around in a thin patina with the water still running over me. None of this squeaky clean feeling for me. Clean, yes, squeaky, no.

Costco carries Cetaphil cream. This stuff even works on skin subjected to a daily couple of hours of chlorinated pool water.

I find exfoliating and using olive oil or virgin coconut oil to be the best treatments for dry skin. How does your skin get dry in a humid tropical paradise anyway? Here in the arctic like Midwest we dry out as soon as we have run our heat.
