The cacao tree is also known by its scientific name "Theobroma," which means "food of the gods." This is fitting given all the different uses it can have. A little less well known than its chocolatey sibling, cocoa butter has many benefits. Here are five.
- It slows skin aging
Since cocoa butter is rich in antioxidants and vitamins (A, B, C and E), it is the ideal way to protect your skin from outside threats by acting as a barrier.
- It hydrates the skin
Cocoa butter is full of fatty acids that penetrate the skin well to deeply hydrate it.
- It relaxes you
Thanks to its scent, cocoa butter is a perfect relaxant during a bath after a long day.
- It is perfect for massages
Since chocolate melts at body temperature, it is the perfect oil for massages and also helps reduce stretch marks.
- It makes you happier
Cocoa butter is present in chocolate and raises the level of several hormones in your body such as endorphin, which reduces your stress levels, serotonin, which makes you happier, and theobromine, which increases your sense of well-being. Why not come and taste our chocolate to test its benefits for yourself?
