Cocoa Butter has been used for centuries by pregnant women to help prevent and reduce stretch marks. This is because it is incredibly moisturizing. When the skin is well hydrated, it maintains its elasticity, and stretching the skin is less likely to leave marks. Cocoa Butter also works wonders on minor skin irritations, such as eczema.
At room temperature, Spa Pantry's Cocoa Butter is a soft solid, but scooping just a bit into your hands and rubbing them together melts it immediately, and turns it almost into an oil. But not a greasy oil - just slick enough to effectively moisturize whatever body part is feeling dry at the moment!
Spa Pantry's Cocoa Butter is an excellent base and add-in for all of your customizable spa treatments. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil (or the essential oil of your clients' choice!), and use for a hand massage after a manicure. For some simple treatments, follow the recipes below:
