PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT : UNREFINED ORGANIC COCOA BUTTER

Our Unrefined Organic Cocoa Butter is a must have for your DIY Skin Care Recipes. It has a natural tan colour and sweet intoxicating aroma of chocolate. We have listed below some of the benefits of cocoa butter and how you can use it.

MOISTURISING

Unrefined Cocoa Butter is extremely hydrating as it absorbs into the skin slowly and forms a barrier over skin and pores to lock in the moisture. It is great for people with dry skin and most suitable for extra dry parts of the skin such as hands and feet.

ANTI-OXIDANT POWERHOUSE

Unrefined Cocoa Butter is a great source of natural anti-oxidants that are found in cocoa beans (the same kind found in real dark chocolate). Anti-oxidants are known to protect the skin from free radicals and impart a youthful glow.

PERFECT LIP BUTTER

Unrefined Cocoa Butter is an emollient which means it adds a protective layer of hydration to lips, blocking the effects of very cold temperatures, sun damage or indoor heat, which can leave the lips dry.

IMPROVES ELASTICITY

Unrefined Cocoa Butter’s deep conditioning benefits can help increase skin’s elasticity. It is loaded with Vitamin E and Fatty Acids that help the skin remain supple. It is known to reduce appearance of stretch marks greatly.

 

HOW TO USE COCOA BUTTER IN ITS NATURAL FORM

Owing to its hard texture, you would need to either chop or melt the cocoa butter to use it in ints natural form.

CHOP AND USE

To use Unrefined Cocoa Butter out of the package, chop a small, pea-sized chip from the container using a butter knife. Rub the chip of butter between your palms until it melts, then massage the melted butter onto your skin or hair. You can also try chopping a larger piece of butter, warming it between your palms for about thirty seconds then using it like a lotion bar–rubbing it across your arms, legs, and torso. This is a great way to moisturise the whole body quickly and easily.

MELT AND USE

The very best way to melt Unrefined Cocoa Butter is with indirect heat using either a double boiler or a heat-proof jar placed in a pan of simmering water.

Unrefined Cocoa Butter can also be heated in the microwave, but it is important to do so carefully as over-heating the butter can damage its beneficial properties. To melt this butter in the microwave, place it in a small, heat-proof container, then heat it in short, 30-second bursts until it has melted through. Stop and stir the butter between bursts to make sure it heats evenly.
