The most important health benefits of cocoa butter include vast improvements to skin and hair care as well as boosted immunity. It also helps prevent signs of aging and reduce inflammation. One of the reasons that cocoa butter is so valuable is it’s high concentration of antioxidant compounds, including oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid. The antioxidants and beneficial organic molecules protect the skin from environmental, internal, and external forces that can cause irritation or damage to the skin. Research has also shown cocoa butter to greatly reduce the appearance of scars on the skin and help to boost overall skin health.

Its powerful anti-inflammatory properties make it a potent remedy for all kinds of inflammatory, issues like diaper rash and dermatitis. Calendula is muva (*snaps) when it comes to stimulating tissue and collagen production.
