Description
Cocoa butter is extracted from the fermented and dried seeds of the cacao tree. It is rich in saturated and unsaturated fatty acids as well as valuable antioxidants. The cold-pressed, unrefined organic cocoa butter we use contains the full power of the plant – completely without chemical processing or heat treatment.
Its natural, delicious chocolate scent makes every application an unforgettable self-care moment. Its firm texture melts gently onto the skin, providing long-lasting moisture and protection.
