Description What is Cocoa ButterAshanti Naturals 100 Pure Cocoa Butter is extracted from high quality, fresh cocoa beans. Cocoa beans are seeds from Theobroma cacao L. plant. To make cocoa butter, cocoa beans are first fermented then roasted. At this point, the cocoa butter which isnt actually the kind of butter made from any type of milk at all is able to be separated from the rest of the beans, leaving behind solids that are used for other purposes like making cocoa powder. Why Cocoa ButterThe moisturizing abilities of cocoa butter are frequently recommended for prevention of stretch marks in pregnant women, treatment of chapped or burned skin and lips, and as a daily moisturizer to prevent dry, itchy skin.
