Why it matters
Cocoa butter is a pale-yellow fat extracted from cocoa beans (the same beans used to make chocolate). In food, it gives chocolate its smooth melt and texture. In skincare, it's used as an emollient (a substance that softens and moisturizes skin) because it's rich in fatty acids. It's essentially a natural, edible fat, similar in nature to other plant fats like coconut or shea butter. Almost nobody needs to specifically worry about it, aside from those with a known cocoa or chocolate allergy.
