The advantage of mixing it with other oils is that you will obtain a final result that is less oily and more penetrating into the skin.

Cocoa butter

Cocoa butter is a staple of chocolate. However, it is also a very common product in natural cosmetics due to its characteristics and properties. For example, it constitutes the basis of many lip balms, because it has the merit of protecting us from external agents such as the sun, the wind or the cold.
