| Cocoa Butter is well known for it's use by the confectionery industry to make
chocolate bars. It comes from the Cocoa Tree Seed Kernels and is a natural source of
anti-oxidants due to the phenol content. This butter is a protective emollient that is
able to reduce dryness and improve flexibility of the skin. Pregnant ladies often seek
cocoa butter products as this butter is believed to help prevent stretch marks. Keeping
the skin moisturised may assist to improve skin elasticity during pregnancy but will not
be a guarantee against developing stretch marks. It is recommended that people use a
natural moisturiser that will nourish skin and protect it as part of the body care regime.
Health Revisited utilises the moisturising action of cocoa butter
in their Aromatherapy Massage Bars that can be used as part of the daily body moisturising
routine and in our Natural Soaps that have an incredible silky feel.
