Benefits of Cocoa Butter for Skin

Beside smelling like chocolate, cocoa butter has lots of benefits for the skin. Cocoa butter is high in antioxidants, which helps to fight off free-radical damage that can cause skin aging. 

Cocoa Butter is also highly moisturizing, which is why cocoa butter is commonly used for stretchmarks and belly butters. It is high in fatty acids and stearic acids, which are great to use as a moisturizer. It deeply penetrates the skin to lock in moisture. 

Raw Cocoa Butter is usually very dense, so it naturally has a hard texture.
