Produced from the fat of cocoa beans, cocoa butter is sometimes recognized as the starter ingredient in desserts and chocolate sweets. However, this plant butter has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years and has many different cosmetic benefits.
Cocoa butter provides a very potent source of nutrients, phytochemicals, and essential fatty acids, which are thought to benefit the skin by promoting hydration and elasticity.
You can use cocoa butter by gently rubbing it directly on to the skin skin. Consider a patch test before a full application to ensure that the product doesn’t irritate your skin.
