Many people use cocoa butter because they like how it feels on the skin, or they believe it can improve the appearance of the skin. There is no harm in trying one of these products-unless you are sensitive to cocoa butter. You can find cocoa butter recipes in supermarkets, pharmacies, online and natural food stores. If you are worried about additives, buy 100% cocoa butter and make your own skin care products. Keep in mind that these products have not been proven to improve skin tone, lighten wrinkles or reduce stretch marks. Most of the evidence supporting these claims is anecdotal. If you are seeking treatment for specific skin care needs, please consult your doctor or dermatologist. They can help formulate a skin care regimen that best suits your needs.
