Raw, organic, hand-processed (unrefined) cocoa butter is a versatile, nutrient-dense fat used in skincare , offering benefits primarily related to deep hydration, antioxidant protection, and healthy fats. The "raw" and "unrefined" nature ensures maximum retention of natural vitamins, antioxidants, and a rich chocolate aroma compared to processed versions. 
Applied topically, raw organic cocoa butter melts at body temperature and creates a protective barrier to lock in moisture, making it an excellent emollient. 
Intense Moisturization: It is exceptionally high in fatty acids like oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, which deeply hydrate the skin and improve elasticity.
Antioxidant Power: It contains natural plant compounds called phytochemicals (polyphenols and flavanols) that help fight free radical damage from environmental stressors and UV exposure, which can contribute to premature aging.
Soothing Properties: Its anti-inflammatory properties can help calm irritated or sensitive skin, and some users find relief from conditions like eczema and dermatitis.
Skin Tone and Texture: Regular use may help smooth and even skin tone, potentially reducing the appearance of scars, dark spots, and stretch marks, though scientific evidence for scar/stretch mark reduction is primarily anecdotal.
Hair and Scalp Health: It can be used as a pre-wash treatment or added to conditioners to nourish the hair shaft, soothe the scalp, and reduce frizz and breakage.
