• Cocoa butter is high in fatty acids (oleic, palmitic, and stearic), which nourish and hydrate the skin deeply, making it a valuable addition to body moisturisers and lip balms
• Effective on skin blemishes, scars and stretchmark prevention during pregnancy
• The anti-inflammatory properties of cocoa butter help skin irritations such as psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis
