Description: Cocoa butter (also known as cacao butter) is the natural cream coloured vegetable fat extracted from cocoa beans during the process of separating the powder and liquor from the bean. 70% of the world's production of cocoa butter is produced in the West African nations Nigeria, Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire. Cocoa butter has a soft, sweet cocoa aroma, and is one of the most stable fats known. It has been used to heal and moisturize skin that has been exposed to the elements. It also helps reduce the formation of stretch marks during pregnancy by keeping the skin supple. It makes a wonderful ingredient in lotion bars, lip balms, body butters and soaps. It contains natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity, and has an extremely long shelf life. Some estimates put it at between 2 and 5 years with proper storage conditions.
