Description
Cocoa butter is extracted from the fermented and dried seeds of the cocoa tree. It is rich in saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, as well as valuable antioxidants. The organic cocoa butter we use is cold-pressed and unrefined, containing all the power of the plant without any chemical processing or heat treatment.
Its delicious natural chocolate aroma turns every application into an unforgettable moment of self-care. Its firm texture melts gently on the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and protection.

Comparison with conventional emollients
- Petroleum jelly and paraffin oil have a purely occlusive effect — cocoa butter actively nourishes.

- Refined cocoa butter lacks fragrance and has low active ingredient content — Barau trusts in the full power of plants.
