Cocoa butter has been called the ultimate moisturizer and has been used to keep skin soft and supple for centuries. It is one of the most stable, highly concentrated natural fats known, and melts at body temperature, so it is readily absorbed into the skin. Cocoa butter is often recommended for treatment of skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. When applied topically, it creates a barrier between sensitive skin and the environment and also helps retain moisture. In addition, cocoa butter contains cocoa mass polyphenol (CMP), a substance that inhibits the production of the immuno glubulin IgE. IgE is known to aggravate symptoms of both dermatitis and asthma. Pregnant women have long used cocoa butter formulations to prevent and treat stretch marks. Recent research even indicates that massaging the skin with cocoa butter may help relieve stress, boost the immune system, and even prevent cancer.
