Cocoa butter is a kind of butter that comes from the cocoa beans taken out of the cacao plant. It is mainly used in chocolate production but has its input into the beauty community too. Cocoa butter has a high fatty acid content that helps to nourish and moisturize skin cells. It has a very velvety texture and good stability for its melting temperature that is beneficial for hydrating and nourishing lotions.

Benefits of cocoa butter:

• The high percentage of fats acts as a protective barrier to lock the moisture into the skin
• It is also rich in plant compound known as Phytochemicals, which help to increase blood circulation that gives a boost to skin cells production.
• Keeps skin healthy by increasing cell elasticity as blood flow improves.
• Provides protection from the harmful UV rays of the sun that damage the skin cells. 

All of these benefits are wholesome for the skin and its cells that work towards cells to make them correctly repaired.
