Cocoa ButterCocoa butter, a common additive in cosmetics, lotions, soaps, is a natural skin moisturizer. One of the most stable and highly concentrated natural fats known; cocoa butter melts at body temperature and is readily absorbed into the skin. It has antioxidants that reduce rancidity and preserve the cocoa butter from two to five years. There are several key considerations to determine whether or not cocoa butter is the right choice for your face.
 HistoryA natural, edible fat extracted from the cocoa bean, cocoa butter has been used for centuries in folk remedies for skin problems. Called "theobroma" or "food of the gods," the major producers of cocoa butter are located in West Africa. The Ivory Coast produces approximately 43 percent of the world's cocoa. Slightly yellowish in color with a mild chocolate flavor and aroma, cocoa butter is separated from the cocoa bean by a heat extraction process and has a small molecule structure.Cocoa butter and stretch marksCocoa butter is used as an additive for face cosmetics, pharmaceutical oral and suppository medications, shampoos and soaps, lotions, and cooking. Although claims have not been substantiated by modern science, it is still popular folk remedy for stretch marks. A 2008 research study by the Department of Health Behaviour and Education at the American University of Beirut Medical Center in Beirut, Lebanon on the effect of cocoa butter on stretch marks found no change or improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks. According to the study, "Topical application of a lotion containing cocoa butter does not appear to reduce the likelihood of developing striae gravidarum."
