COCOA BUTTER A SKIN CARE ADDITIVE GOOD ENOUGH TO EATCOCOA BUTTER A SKIN CARE ADDITIVE GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT

Cocoa butter, also called cacao butter, is the cream-colored fat extracted from cacao seeds (cocoa beans) and used to add flavor, scent, and smoothness to chocolate, cosmetics, tanning oil, soap, and a multitude of topical lotions and creams. Cocoa butter has been called the ultimate moisturizer, and has been used to keep skin soft and supple for centuries. It is one of the most stable, highly concentrated natural fats known, and melts at body temperature so that it is readily absorbed into the skin. Cocoa butter is often recommended for treatment of skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. When applied topically, it creates a barrier between sensitive skin and the environment and also helps retain moisture. In addition, cocoa butter contains cocoa mass polyphenol (CMP), a substance that inhibits the production of the immuno globulin that is known to aggravate symptoms of both dermatitis and asthma.

Pregnant women have long used to cocoa butter formulations to prevent and treat stretch marks, but this pleasant-smelling substance is added to countless other topical preparations as well. Lotions and oils containing cocoa butter are often used in aromatherapy massages to promote feelings of relaxation and well-being. Recent research indicates that massaging the skin with cocoa butter may help relieve stress, boost the immune system, and even prevent cancer. This is because cocoa butter, like chocolate, contains a lot of cocoa mass polyphenol (CMP). Researchers in Japan reported that CMP inhibits the growth of cancerous cells and tumors by reducing active oxygen levels in the body, and concluded that CMP inhibits the oxidation of LDL (good) cholesterol and the production of inflammatory cells; there is some evidence that the CMP in cocoa butter may also help prevent heart disease and ease arthritic symptoms.

NEW NOURISHING FACE & BODY SCRUB WITH EXTRA: TONING, SUNSCREEN & ANTI-AGING PROPERTIES

Yesterday a group of my friends got together for our Monday Breakfast and gab session and one of the topics of conversation was my Kissed By Mother Nature Products. Most of my friends are using my products already but some of them have just begun using them. The product they were excited about is my NEW Nourishing Face & Body Scrub With Extra: Toning, Sunscreen & Anti-aging properties we all have been testing. The good news is that everyone was very impressed. Their skin looked and felt very soft and supple and their areas of skin that was dry and ruff are now soft and smooth. Some of them are having issues with precancerous skin problems and they have said that the scrub along with the face cream and body wash have helped make their skin feel better and look better. I know that my product is not a cure for cancer but I know it softens scars, moisturizes skin, lightens brown spots and the sunscreen helps keep new brown spots from appearing. Because of all of the praises from my tester friends I will be adding it to my line of products so look for it at www.kissedbymothernature.com
