What is Cocoa Butter?
Cocoa butter is a stable, edible and plant-based fat pressed from the cacao bean. The process begins with whole cacao beans, which are fermented, and separated from their hulls. The cacao bean is comprised of about 54 percent fat (cocoa butter), and the remaining part is fibrous solids (cacao powder). The goal is to separate the cocoa butter from the fibrous powder so that they can be recombined at varying levels to make chocolate. The beans are finely ground into chocolate liquor, which is pressed to remove the butter. Cocoa butter is an essential ingredient in chocolate and can also be used for beauty and cosmetic applications.
3 Surprising Health Benefits of Cacao Butter
1) A Good Source of Protective Fatty Acids: Considered one of the most stable fats available, cocoa butter is rich in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, which support overall health.

2) Antioxidant Powerhouse: Since it comes from nutrient-packed cacao beans, cocoa butter is a good source of natural antioxidants which may boost the immune system, support heart health, and lower inflammation.

3) Prevents Skin Dryness: Due to its emollient properties, cocoa butter hydrates the skin and lips by locking in moisture when applied topically. Plus, cocoa butter is all-natural so it’s great for protecting sensitive skin.
