It's like butta baby...
GRACING OUR MENU THIS SUMMER: 3 fabulously rich, organic, fair trade butters! Read on to learn about the many benefits of using these glorious gifts from mother nature…
ORGANIC COCOA BUTTER
Contains natural antioxidants and is naturally rich in minerals and vitamins, such as vitamin E, which helps soothe, hydrate and balance the skin and provides collagen which assists with wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Cocoa butter also contains cocoa mass polyphenol (CMP), a substance that inhibits the production of the immuno globulin IgE, which is known to aggravate symptoms of both dermatitis and asthma. For centuries pregnant women have used Cocoa butter to prevent and treat stretch marks. Cocoa butter is often used in aromatherapy massage to promote relaxation and the feeling of wellbeing. Research indicates that massaging the skin with cocoa butter may help relieve stress, boost the immune system, and even prevent cancer. This is because cocoa butter, like chocolate, contains a lot of CMP and there is some evidence that the CMP in cocoa butter may also help prevent heart disease and ease arthritic symptoms. Our cocoa butter is fair trade certified through Transfair.

- dry skin
