Cocoa butter is a natural fat extracted from the seeds of the cacao tree. It is a pale yellow, edible fat that has a smooth texture and a mild chocolate aroma. Commonly used in the production of chocolate, cocoa butter helps give chocolate its creamy consistency and rich flavor. In addition to its culinary uses, cocoa butter is popular in cosmetics and skincare products. It is known for its moisturizing properties and is often used in lotions, creams, and lip balms to help hydrate and nourish the skin. Its ability to melt at body temperature makes it an ideal ingredient for smooth application.
