Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is bursting with benefits! It contains omega-9 (monounsaturated fatty acids) that strengthen the skin’s hydrolipidic film, so it feels supple and hydrated. But that’s not all... It also contains polyphenols and free radical-fighting antioxidants. Then there’s stearic acid and palmitic acid – saturated fatty acids with film-forming and nourishing properties that help to protect skin against environmental aggressors. There’s also theobromine, the "feel-good molecule" found in chocolate that has a psychostimulant and mood-lifting effect (so that’s why we love chocolate so much!), and even caffeine, known for its invigorating properties.
