Portrait
Attention all you chocolate lovers!
Harness the power of chocolate to soothe and moisturize your skin while treating yourself to an unforgettably rich cocoa treat. Cocoa butter is a rich and creamy natural moisturizer. I love the way it naturally soaks into your skin. Cocoa butter is a stable fat, so it melts when applied to your skin. I also love that it has an unusually high amount of antioxidants.
Organic raw cocoa butter is perfect for making homemade chocolates and desserts.
HOW TO USE
- Real cocoa butter is completely edible! Cocoa butter is the fat source used to make chocolate. Also, it is a healthy fat, mostly saturated just like coconut oil. Try adding raw organic cocoa butter to your recipes.
- Cocoa butter is great for naturally healing dry sensitive skin, healing and preventing chapped skin and lips, fighting signs of aging, soothing sunburns and rashes: Warm up the cocoa butter in your hands and apply to lips, skin or hair.
- Add cocoa butter to your skin lotions, lip-glosses, chap sticks and other beauty ointments.
- Cocoa butter is used extensively as a base for suppositories and pessaries, because it melts at body temperature.
