Naturally beautiful with cocoa butter
-
Cocoa butter is a natural fat extracted from the cocoa bean (yes, that of the chocolate!). Cocoa butter melts at body temperature and is therefore often used in lip balms and nourishing ointments. Cocoa butter contains a high content of vitamin E and is an anti-oxidant. It helps fade scars and its nourishing and soothing properties make it ideal for older and dry skin.
Skin
-
Stretch marks and scars Coat your stretch marks or scars with cocoa butter twice a day. They will fade after a few weeks. Pregnant women should also apply twice a day to prevent stretch marks. Nourishing your skin makes it smoother and less likely to cause stretch marks to appear.
Dry legs
-
If you suffer from dry or flaky legs, rub them with cocoa butter instead of body lotion or body cream.
