What is Theobroma cacao seed butter?
Theobroma cacao seed butter, or cocoa butter, is obtained from the Theobroma cacao plant. It has another name, known as the cocoa tree. The plant is native to tropical regions, such as the southeast of Mexico and the Amazon basin. The plant is cultivated for its beans, known as cocoa beans. It is used to make liquor, chocolate, and butter. Butter is a byproduct of the chocolate production process. In cosmetic products, Theobroma cacao seed butter is used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. For more information, refer to cocoa butter.
Use & Benefits:
