Divinely nourishing, with a distinctive chocolate scent Cocoa butter is made by expeller pressing the seeds of roasted cocoa beans. Uccuba butter a nutrient-dense Amazonian butter is also cold-pressed, but from the seeds of the Ucuuba tree, both butters offer conditioning benefits for dry, lacklustre and irritated skin here are some of our fave benefits:

🤎 Ucuuba butter is high in myristic acid, a deeply-conditioning fatty acid that protects the skin from moisture loss.
🍫 Cocoa butter is a rich source of Lauric, Myristic & Palmitic acid & the key Vitamins A & C, which all contribute to healthy, glowing and nourished skin.
🤎 Ucuuba Butter is said to have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties and is ideal for soothing, eczema and dry or irritated skin.
