The listing, PURE COCOA BUTTER has ended.
This auction is for 1 ounce of cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is a pale-yellow, pure edible vegetable fat extracted from the cacao bean. It is used to make chocolate, baked goods, pharmaceuticals, ointments, and toiletries. Cocoa butter has a mild chocolate flavor and aroma. Cocoa butter is one of the most stable fats known, containing natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity and give it a storage life of two to five years, making it a good choice for non-food products. The smooth texture, sweet fragrance and emollient property of cocoa butter make it a popular ingredient in cosmetics and skin care products, such as soaps and lotions. Its faintly pleasant aroma also lends benefits to its cosmetic uses. The moisturizing abilities of cocoa butter are frequently recommended for prevention of stretch marks in pregnant women, treatment of chapped skin and lips, and as a daily moisturizer to prevent dry, itchy skin.
