Cocoa butter is a fantastic substance extracted from the
cocoa bean which provides many different health benefits when applied topically
and ingested. This silky smooth butter melts at room temperature, making it
perfect to smooth over your skin as needed.
In food, cocoa butter can be used to make chocolate and
baked goods as it has a mild chocolate flavor and aroma. Cocoa butter has been
proven to aid in heart and immune system health, as its properties such as
oleic acid and cocoa mass polyphenol (PMP) have been linked to lowering the
risk of heart failure and the possible treatment of psoriasis, fibromyalgia,
and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Another one of cocoa butter’s main uses is in skin care
products, such as lotions, lip balms, and even some hair care products. Widely
used for the treatment of stretchmarks, cocoa butter contains vitamins A, B1,
B2, B3, C, and E which make it a miraculous moisturizer. This substance is also
very popular for treating skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis as it
creates a barrier between your skin and the harsh environment of everyday life.
