Organic Cocoa Butter

Praan Naturals Organic Cocoa Butter is a premium quality, 100% natural butter that possesses a beautiful cocoa aroma. It is a pure, crushed butter that is prime pressed from certified organic cacao beans. Its composition includes highly stable, natural saturated lipids that gives it a long shelf life.

The Cacao Tree, Theobroma cacao is a small to mid-size tropical evergreen tree with large, beautiful glossy leaves. The tree produces pod-shaped fruits with colorful red, orange and yellow hard exterior shells that protect the numerous cacao beans that are housed inside. These dark, flavorful beans are rich in nutritive fatty acids, minerals, polyphenols and Vitamin E. The beans are used to produce cocoa butter, cocoa powder and chocolate.

Cocoa Butter has been used within skin and hair care for centuries, originally by those that live within the tropical regions abundant with cacao trees. Traditionally, the butter has been used to soothe, protect and moisturize skin that has been exposed to harsh elements.
