Cocoa Butter

Cocoa Butter is obtained from the fruit of the cacao tree (cocao beans) in Africa. It has occlusive properties with skin barrier function that creates a protective layer on top of skin which holds in moisture while softening and lubricating the skin preventing drying of the skin and development of wrinkles. It is a very hard butter that needs to be incorporated with softer butters or oils to be usable as a body care ingredient.
