Cocoa butter does come from cocoa beans, the source of chocolate, but it has amazing skincare properties of its own. High in fatty acids and vitamin E, it helps hydrate the skin to nourish elasticity and create a protective barrier that locks in moisture to smooth and soften. Cocoa butter contains natural plant compounds called phytochemicals which may enhance blood flow to the skin and protect against sun damage that can cause ageing. And many believe cocoa butter can minimize the appearance of stretch marks, and even possibly prevent them from forming.

Shea Butter Is a creamy fat found in nuts, so it’s no wonder its superpower is adding rich moisture and suppleness to skin. It contains several types of fatty acids, including oleic, linoleic, palmitic and stearic, which all help to soften skin texture and improve skin’s natural barrier against damage from environmental pollutants. Shea butter also contains anti-inflammatory nutrients that help ease swelling, redness and irritation.
