Product Information

Like other natural moisturizers, such as coconut oil, cocoa butter is mostly made up of fatty acids. These fats may help form a protective layer on the skin, preventing moisture from escaping, and therefore stopping the skin from drying out. cocoa mass, also known as cocoa liquor or chocolate liquor. Chocolate liquor is pressed to separate the cocoa butter from the non-fat cocoa solids. [4] Cocoa butter is sometimes deodorized to remove strong or undesirable tastes. [5] Pharmaceutical companies use cocoa butter extensively. As a nontoxic solid at room temperature that melts at body temperature, it is considered an ideal base for medicinal suppositories.

Cocoa butter is a core ingredient in many skin moisturizers. Some people use pure cocoa butter to help relieve dry skin. Cocoa butter typically has a melting point of around 34–38°C (93–100°F), so chocolate is solid at room temperature but readily melts once inside the mouth. Cocoa butter displays polymorphism, having different crystalline forms with different melting points. Conventionally the assignment of cocoa butter crystalline forms uses the nomenclature of Wille and Lutton [19] with forms I, II, III, IV, V and VI having melting points 17.3,23.3,25.5,27.5,33.8, and 36.3°C (63.1,73.9,77.9,81.5,92.8, and 97.3°F), respectively. The production of chocolate aims to crystallise the chocolate so that the cocoa butter is predominantly in form V, which is the most stable form that can be obtained from melted cocoa butter. (Form VI either develops in solid cocoa butter after long storage, or is obtained by crystallisation from solvents). A uniform form V crystal structure will result in smooth texture, sheen, and snap. This structure is obtained by chocolate tempering. Melting the cocoa butter in chocolate and then allowing it to solidify without tempering leads to the formation of unstable polymorphic forms of cocoa butter. This can easily happen when chocolate bars are allowed to melt in a hot room and leads to the formation of white patches on the surface of the chocolate called fat bloom or chocolate bloom.

My radiant complexion continued to improve day after day – becoming smoother than ever before; which could mean there are active ingredients contained within its tiny composition or at least something worth considering further study about, if not just purely miraculous chance.Apart from an instant change in skin texture, I didn’t think anything would happen when I first applied the cocoa butter gel.

Cocoa butter is a major ingredient in practically all types of chocolates ( white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate). This application continues to dominate consumption of cocoa butter. One review reports that several studies failed to find any evidence that cocoa butter prevents stretch marks during pregnancy. They add that there is also no evidence that any topical cream prevents stretch marks.
