Benefits of Raw Cocoa Butter

It is extracted using a method of cold pressing, where the butter is separated from the cocoa.

This cocoa butter can then be used as a natural moisturizer or can be put back together with the cocoa powder to create a luscious chocolate.

Many people enjoy the benefits of cocoa butter and use it on a daily basis.

However raw cocoa butter is different than the stuff you find in the store due to the fact that it does not have chemicals mixed with it. Nor are chemicals used in any of the process to extract it.

• It's one of the most stable highly concentrated fats on the planet, making it great for moisturizing.
• It melts at body temperature so in the raw form you just hold a little bit in your hands and it melts - you don't need chemicals to make it usable.
• When applied on the skin it creates a barrier between the skin and the environment keeping out harmful toxins and things that could potentially irritate sensitive skin.
• It helps keep the skin elasticized during pregnancy to help reduce/prevent stretch marks - the reason it never works in most mainstream creams is due to the fact that it's such a LOW concentration of the actual cocoa butter and it's boiled down taking out all of the nutrients then added with a bunch of chemicals taking away the natural properties of the actual cocoa butter.
• It has high magnesium levels that help when progesterone levels drop during PMS creating a sense of well-being in women.
• It protects the skin against harmful UV rays (not an SPF)
• It contains natural skin cancer fighting agents.
