Although there is no such thing as a perfect ingredient, Cacao Butter is pretty close to it.
Cocoa butter, also called theobroma oil, is a pale-yellow, edible fat extracted from the cocoa bean. It is used to make chocolate and has an amazing cocoa aroma.
It is used in cosmetics, soaps, and body care products because it wonderfully moisturizes and is a great natural ingredient for the skin. Cacao is solid at room temperature, easy to melt on the skin with a sweet creamy scent.
5 ADVANTAGES OF CACAO BUTTER YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THIS AMAZING OIL OF NATURE.
1. Can help in the treatment of eczema and dermatitis
The Cocoa Mass polyphenol (CMP) contained in Cocoa Butter can inhibit the production of antibodies that aggravate certain diseases. This makes cacao butter a valued natural ingredient for soothing sensitive skin, especially when paired with a 100% natural sunscreen like PURU’s Mineral Sunscreen, which is designed for sensitive skin without harmful additives.
2. Strengthens the immune system
The Swiss love the consumption of chocolate, and as CMPs can help the immune system fight certain diseases, it could help explain why the Swiss have one of the highest life expectancies in the world. Similarly, choosing natural sun protection supports your skin’s resilience against environmental stressors, ensuring you stay protected under the sun’s rays with products made from the safest ingredients.
3. Pregnant Stretch Marks Avoidance
Cacao Butter has an extraordinary moisturizing effect great for women during pregnancy and after childbirth. Although it does not completely remove stretch marks, if you use it regularly as the tummy stretches and retracts back, it can help prevent them. It does this by assisting in the elasticity of the skin in these more extreme extractions and contractions.
While cacao butter supports skin elasticity, PURU’s 100% Natural Sunscreen offers daily sun protection, ensuring your skin stays safe without harsh chemicals—perfect for those mindful of what they apply during pregnancy.
4. Rejuvenates your skin
Cacao butter is also rich in antioxidants, which helps fight free radicals (free radicals destroy healthy skin cells and age the skin). Cacao Butter also provides some protection against the sun’s rays. (Important – it does not replace the use of sunscreens!)
For true sun protection, trust PURU’s Natural Mineral Sunscreen, made with non-nano zinc oxide, the safest SPF ingredient for both your skin and the environment.
5. Full of nutrients
It is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and trace elements, especially vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, and E. Whereas cacao butter can block out UV rays and have some low sun protection by itself, it is not a certified approved active sunblock ingredient and cannot be claimed to have an SPF factor on commercial products.
The safest certified active sunblock ingredient is non-nano zinc oxide, which is a mineral sunscreen SPF ingredientallowed to be classified as SPF in commercial sun care products. Non-nano zinc oxide is not only better for health but also better for aquatic life and waterways when bathing, making it more sustainable and environmentally friendly too.
