Mmm, chocolate! Well, sort of. Cocoa butter is most certainly a part of chocolate, but it's so much more than that. Cocoa butter is the oil extracted from the cocoa bean (and, you guessed it: that's it!), and contains hydrating stearic and oleic fatty acids. These acids aid the skin in locking in moisture, without feeling too greasy. Who knew chocolate could be good for the skin? The reparative qualities of the fatty acids also aid in rejuvenating skin, and is commonly used to erase the appearance of stretch marks and scars. Try it on some of these ailments, too:
Dry Skin
Eczema
Psoriasis
Sunspots
Wrinkles
Cocoa butter is a very firm oil, and needs a little help to be scoopable. Try warming it in a pan over boiling water, or placing some in a double boiler.
How To Use:
Use generously on skin and hair. Cocoa butter is very dense, but can be melted down in a double boiler (or simply placed over a pot of boiling water) for easy use in recipes. Perfect for use in a DIY lotion, body butter, massage oil, or chocolate-flavored lip balm! Do it yourself, or check out our website for some DIY recipes!
