Product Information

Organic cocoa butter is pressed from cocoa beans and is yellow in colour. It is a solid and hard oil at room temperature, but can be melted at 40C. Why is cocoa butter good for your face? While it’s an excellent skin moisturizer, it does more than just hydrate the skin — it helps actually heal it from the inside out too. It's an antioxidant powerhouse: Cocoa butter is high in antioxidants, which help fight off free-radical damage, which can cause skin aging, dark patches, and dull skin. Protecting your skin from free-radical damage is crucial to keep it healthyand youthful-looking. Cocoa butter is also an anti-inflammatory—just another way it helps your skin withstand the passage of time.

Cocoa butter is high in fat, mostly saturated fat, just like coconut oil. The amount of saturated fat it contains (as opposed to unsaturated fat) is between 57 percent to 64 percent of the total fat content, depending on the exact kind. Among the different types of fatty acids are: You can rub a small amount of pure cocoa butter into burnt skin to help skin replenish. Just make sure it’s pure and doesn’t contain any alcohol, fragrances/perfumes or other additives that can lead skin to become even more inflamed and sensitive. Yes, pure cacao butter is often used to moisturise dry skin. The melted butter can be added to recipes for lotions or creams. Organic cocoa butter can also be easily absorbed without leaving a greasy residue. Is raw cocoa butter edible?Desserts might be its most popular use, but raw cocoa butter also makes a great butter or dairy substitute and can be used in various ways, just like coconut oil. When purchasing cocoa butter, try to avoid kinds that are sold as white, silky lotions and come in pump bottles or squeezable bottles. Products like this might contain some cocoa butter, but they’re far from pure and likely contain many other additives, which is exactly how they stay one uniform texture and color (which real cocoa butter doesn’t do).

Organic raw cocoa butter can be used on the face, however it has a high comedogenic rating of 4. This means it will clog pores and is not recommended for acne prone skin. Does cocoa butter darken skin? Another common use of cocoa butter is to soothe skin irritation and smooth dry skin, wrinkles, scars, and other marks on the skin. Also, it helps heal rashes from conditions like dermatitis and eczema. It is also rich in phytochemicals. These are natural plant compounds that improve blood flow to the skin and slow skin aging by protecting the skin against damage from the sun’s harmful UV rays. While cocoa butter does contain some polyphenols and other antioxidants, it doesn’t supply as much as dried cocoa powder does.Two of the differences between these products are their smell and how they can be used. Many people prefer cocoa butter’s tropical smell over shea butter’s very mild fragrance. On the other hand, shea butter has a neutral smell that means it blends well with other essential oil scents. Cocoa butter is used in soap, body butter, skin and hair treatments as well as lip balm. Highly prized for its moisturising properties, cocoa butter is the touch of something special in many recipes.

Where is your cacao butter from? Real cocoa butter is completely edible and has a faint taste and smell similar to dark chocolate. The beans from the Theobroma cacao L. plant are a high-antioxidant food, since they contain a significant amount of polyphenol and flavonoid antioxidants. In fact, cocoa beans themselves have been shown to be one of the greatest suppliers of polyphenols in the human diet. Is cacao butter the same as cocoa butter? Cocoa butter products vary depending on how the beans are processed and heated. The spelling “ cacao” usually means that the beans are unroasted (or “raw”). Nutrition Facts

It’s a great source of natural antioxidants that are found in cocoa beans, plus fatty acids that are easily absorbed and remain on the skin for hours. It has a melting point of around 93–101 degrees Fahrenheit, which means it becomes liquid once ingested or sometimes when applied topically. It’s ability to melt gives it an attractive “mouth feel” when added to chocolate or when used in creamy lotions. What else is cocoa butter good for? Just like other skin-loving fats — such as raw shea butter and coconut oil — cocoa butter is great for naturally healing dry, sensitive skin.
