COCOA SEED BUTTER - THEOBROMA CACAO

Cocoa butter, derived from the cacao bean, is a rich and natural fat widely used in skincare products. It is known for its deep moisturising properties and has been a favourite among skincare enthusiasts for centuries. This guide will explore why cocoa butter is good for the skin, its benefits, and how to incorporate it into your skincare routine.

Famous for its excellent emollient properties, we source our cocoa butter from West Africa, where fermented beans of the cocoa tree are roasted, cracked and ground to givea powdery solid called cocoa mass, from which cocoa butter is pressed.

BENEFITS OF COCOA BUTTER:

COCOA BUTTER

Cocoa butter is rich, creamy & moisturising. It’s a solid, but it melts when massaged onto the skin, so it can dissolve oily dirt & make up, effectively cleansing without stripping.

Cocoa butter is made from the roasted seeds of cocoa trees – the same seeds that make chocolate & cocoa. We use cocoa beans grown in West Africa by RainForest Alliance certified farmers, and we pick “wonky” cocoa beans that would otherwise be waste, helping protect the farmers’ incomes.

BOOSTS HYDRATION

Cocoa butter is an excellent moisturiser, providing hydration by creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface to help lock in moisture. It is therefore especially beneficial for those with dry skin.
