Cocoa butter is one of the most beloved ingredients in skincare, and for good reason. This rich, plant-based butter is extracted from cocoa beans and is packed with antioxidants and fatty acids that help nourish and protect your skin.
Why cocoa butter is so good for your skin
Deep hydration: Cocoa butter melts at body temperature and penetrates deep into the skin, intensively caring for dry areas.
Rich in antioxidants: The vitamin E and polyphenols in cocoa butter help protect your skin from harmful external influences, such as the sun and pollution.
Soft and supple: Regularly applying cocoa butter can improve skin texture and make it more elastic. Ideal for pregnant women who want to keep their skin supple.
Soothing: Cocoa butter has a soft scent and a soothing effect, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin.
How cocoa butter is made
Cocoa butter is extracted from the cocoa beans of the cocoa fruit. The beans are first fermented and dried, after which they are roasted. Next, the cocoa beans are ground into a thick paste containing both cocoa butter and cocoa powder. Pressing the paste separates the butter from the solids. The result is a pure, natural butter rich in nourishing ingredients and with a soft, creamy texture.
