The Benefits of Cocoa Butter in Soap

Cocoa butter, in soap, makes for a good solid bar with a nice stable lather. Cocoa butter is extracted from cacao beans and has a very chocolate like smell. High in vitamins K and E cocoa butter helps soften and heal skin. A natural collagen booster, cocoa butter, helps to improve skin elasticity. Cocoa butter is also hypo-allergenic and fights signs of aging. It can also help to diminish scars and stretch marks on the skin.

Cocoa butter has been used for thousands of years. The Aztecs and Mayans used cocoa butter extensively and even used it as a currency.

Cocoa butter is rich in phytochemicals which can improve blood flow in skin and slow the aging process.

Here we use cocoa butter in our shave soap and our premium Viking and Stornoway soaps.
