Raw Cocoa Butter

Raw Cocoa Butter is very thick and solid at room temperature but has a buttery rich consistency that makes it ideal for use as a natural eye cream, lip balm, or body butter. Many studies show that it is especially good at penetrating the skin and contains 60% fat, making it highly emollient.

Thanks to some other special properties, shea butter does more than moisturize. It delivers key anti-inflammatory and anti-aging components right into the skin.

Shea butter is a skin superfood that comes from the seeds of the fruit of the Shea (Karite) tree and that is naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F. It offers UV protection (it is SPF ~6) and provides the skin with essential fatty acids and the nutrients necessary for collagen production.

Shea butter has been used in Africa and many other locations for years to improve skin and hair. It also has a long history of medicinal use, such as in wound care and even treating leprosy.

It’s also not uncommon in that part of the world to eat shea butter as well. Much as we use palm oil in products. There’s differing opinions on whether or not it’s healthy to eat. And since some studies suggest that ingesting shea butter may interfere with the digestion of other proteins. I use it externally only.
