Cocoa butter is a naturally occurring butter and has a fabulous, sweet cocoa aroma, and is one of the most stable fats known. It contains natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity, and has an extremely long shelf life. An excellent moisturising agent for the skin.
Very hard but melts on skin contact.
