It's an antioxidant powerhouse

Cocoa butter is high in antioxidants, which help fight off free-radical damage, which can cause skin ageing, dark patches, and dull skin. Protecting your skin from free-radical damage is crucial to keep it healthy and youthful-looking. Cocoa butter is also an anti-inflammatory —just another way it helps your skin withstand the passage of time.

It reduces stretch marks and scars:

Many women claim that the regular use of cocoa butter kept stretch marks at bay both during and after pregnancy.

Deeply moisturising

Cocoa butter is high in fatty acids and hydrates the skin deeply, making it a wonderful addition to body moisturisers and lip balms. It contains oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, all of which nourish the skin.

Heals sensitive skin

Again, no guarantees, but cocoa butter has been noted by some to help skin irritations such as eczema and dermatitis.
