Cocoa Butter
Cocoa Butter (Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter) is a rich, naturally derived fat extracted from the cacao bean. One of the most beloved emollients in skincare and body care, it is prized for its deep moisturizing properties, skin-softening effects, and natural content of antioxidant polyphenols. Its unique fatty acid profile — including oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids — allows it to melt at skin temperature, delivering a luxurious, nourishing feel that absorbs beautifully without greasiness.
Cocoa Butter has been used for centuries to soften, protect, and condition the skin. It forms a protective barrier that helps lock in moisture, supports barrier function, and leaves the skin feeling supple and smooth. Its natural antioxidant content also helps defend against environmental oxidative stress.
