Cocoa butter is derived from Cocoa beans and is sourced from Ghana. Our butter comes from a Rainforest Alliance certified cooperative, which means they are certified free of child labour, deforestation (both issues rife in the chocolate world) and we ensure they are paid a higher than market price. Cocoa butter is completely natural, delicious for your skin and totally biodegradable. It's also a fantastic moisturiser, forms a great protective barrier and smells incredible!
