Benefits of Organic Unrefined Cocoa Butter

The typical fatty acid composition for Organic Cocoa Butter includes 34.5% stearic acid, 34.5% oleic acid, and 26.5% palmitic acid. These fatty acids contribute to the following benefits:

• Forms a protective barrier on skin, locking in moisture — giving excellent hydration
• Can be used to soften and condition hair 
• Has a high level of oleic acid when coupled with natural antioxidants — preventing rancidity and creating a longer shelf life
• Is known to contain vitamin E — replenishing the skin, scalp, and hair
• Contains small quantities of vitamin K — believed to avoid development of stretch marks
• Scientific studies suggest the presence of flavonoid and polyphenol antioxidants may reduce inflammation and shield the skin from UV-induced damage
