COCOA BUTTER
Cream in color, Cocoa butter in extracted from cacao seeds.
It has soothing, moisturizing, and emollient qualities. It is one of the most stables fats known and has natural antioxidants that can prevent rancidity.
Cocoa butter can quickly and easily be absorbed by the skin, able to penetrate deep into the dermis layer, just beneath the epidermis (the top layer of the skin), where it has the ability to hold onto moisture. Because of this cocoa butter also makes it easier for damaged skin to be repaired. The skin has to be hydrated for the body to grow new skin and Cocoa butter has the ability to do this.
