It’s no surprise to anyone that I am a big huge fan of cocoa butter! I have talked about it just a time or two (or three) on my blog and it just because I can’t get enough of this amazing stuff! But what makes it so great? The proof is in the pudding and I’m here to educate you! This post has everything you need to know about cocoa butter so you can get the most out of your products!
First off, what is cocoa butter? It’s made from cocoa beans and is the fat source used to make chocolate. You heard that right, chocolate! Cocoa beans are also a high antioxidant food, which makes me even happier that I use it on my skin, I could use all of the antioxidants that I can get!
Cocoa Butter Benefits
1. Can Help Fight Aging
Cocoa butter contains polyphenols to help with skin health, including reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, soothing discomforts associated with stretched skin during and after pregnancy, and better skin hydration.
2. Helps Chapped Lips
It adds a protective layer of hydration to your lips. Which helps with blocking the drying effects of sun, wind, very cold temperatures or indoor heat, which can leave your lips dry. On my lips is my very favorite way to use my Cocoa Butter Stick from Queen Helene!
Evie clearly realllly loves the stick too 😉
3. Can Help Remedy Extremely Dry Flaky Skin
I have a little bit of extremely dry, irritated skin on both of my arms and my Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Crème is my FAVORITE product to use. It feels so good and soothing on my sensitive skin!
I loved cocoa butter products before I even knew about all of these benefits! Now that I know more, I’m even more obsessed! You can purchase Queen Helene’s Cocoa Butter Collection (hand + body lotion, crème, body oil, solid stick) on their website or head directly to Walmart for the Cocoa Butter lotion or Sally Beauty Supply for the Cocoa Butter Scrub!
