Cocoa butter absorbs into the skin easily and quickly settles into the outer layer of the epidermis, which helps boost its appearance and health. Because of the antioxidants that the butter is chocked full of, it helps fight inflammation and protects the skin from environmental damage. There are several fatty acids that work together to form a protective layer over the skin and help prevent loss of moisture. The fatty acids that make up Cocoa Butter helps to fight signs of aging as well and make it a great addition to any skincare routine! 

Cocoa Butter is also thought to help improve the look of stretch marks and scars. Many pregnant women also use cocoa butter during pregnancy to prevent stretch marks.

Cocoa Butter is recommended for people who have dry, chapped skin. Being very rich moisturizer, it is NOT recommended for people with oily or acne-prone skin.
