Theobroma Oil, often known as cocoa butter, is a pale yellow fat derived from the cocoa bean. Ointments, cosmetics, and medications are all made with it. Cocoa butter smells like cocoa. Because its melting temperature is just below that of human skin, it is easily absorbed. This butter is packed with antioxidants, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, giving it a wide range of skincare benefits.
Although there is a broad variety of products on the market, their adverse effects on the skin make them unsuitable. Companies are more concerned with making a profit than with making people happy, so make your own Cocoa Butter face cream at home. This article will present you with easy-to-follow, low-cost recipes to attempt at home.
Benefits of Homemade Cocoa Butter Face Cream
Moisturize Skin: Cocoa butter is abundant in fatty acids, making it ideal for use as a key ingredient in skin creams. The fatty acids aid in skin hydration. Cocoa butter’s fat forms a protective barrier that keeps moisture in and keeps your skin from drying out.
Anti-aging: Cocoa Butter has a high concentration of vitamin E and fatty acids, which helps to balance the skin’s sebum while also reducing pore size for a smoother appearance. Its anti-hyperpigmentation and skin-tone-improving properties reduce melanin production.
Protect Against Sun Damage: UV radiation can affect the texture of your skin, damage your cells, and possibly increase your risk of skin cancer. VedaOils’s Cocoa butter polyphenols may protect your skin from damaging UV radiation and reduce your chance of skin damage.
