Cocoa Butter and its Amazing Benefits

Cocoa butter is the solid oil from the cocoa bean and is present in most chocolates. It adds that "melt in your mouth" goodness that we all crave. Cocoa is also branded as a superfood with its antioxidant properties. But cocoa butter has even more to offer than just pleasuring our taste buds. We love to incorporate this ingredient with other nutritious ingredients we use in our products.

What is Cocoa Butter?

Cocoa butter's Latin name, "theobroma oil," translates to "food of the gods!" It is a pale-yellow edible fat that is extracted from cocoa beans. The smooth texture, pleasant aroma and emollient properties of cocoa butter have made it a top-performing ingredient of many products we use every day for our skin and hair, such as conditioners, soaps, and lotions.

1. Ultra-Hydrating and moisturizing

Since cocoa butter has a low melting point, the rich saturated fat easily melts into and is absorbed by our skin and hair. It's a wondrous natural moisturizer that deeply lubricates skin from the inside out.

Oyin Whipped pudding is an all-in-one product that promises well hydrated and moisturized hair and skin brought by cocoa butter as one of its ingredients. Whipped Pudding is excellent to help lock in moisture. It is also great to pamper dry elbows, knees or heels.

2. Fights off skin aging

Cocoa butter's thick but not heavy creamy texture is rich in antioxidants that also help to prevent skin from aging. It fights off free radicals or skin stressors that can damage our skin which ultimately leads to wrinkled and dull-looking skin.

Many people also experience cocoa butter as an excellent treatment to eliminate or help treat stretch marks and scars. This is why it's a major ingredient in our body butter bars which are great for all-over lotion application and serve as luxurious "spot treatments;" for scars, dry spots, or stretch marks.

3. Natural healing power

Cocoa butter deeply soothes burns like sunburns and is gentle to use as a natural treatment for serious skin problems like eczema or dermatitis. It helps reduce flaky, rough and dry patches on our skin.
