Skincare Use
This effective natural skin emollient protects the skin by neutralizing oxidative stress. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties enhance the skin’s photoprotection against the sun’s UV rays which is crucial to skin health, which is why some natural sunscreen brands opt for this ingredient in their formulations.
It has also been shown to inhibit the production of collagenase and elastase (i.e. enzymes that degrade skin cells) which slows the skin’s aging process and reduces the risk of wrinkles. It’s an effective nourishing moisturizer.
If you’re prone to acne, be cautious when applying cocoa butter as it can clog your pores.
