DESCRIPTION
Pure Cocoa Butter for Skin – The Natural Anti-Stretch Mark Treasure
Discover our 100% Natural Pure Cocoa Butter, this ancestral cosmetic treasure extracted from cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao), recognized for centuries for its exceptional moisturizing, softening, and stretch mark prevention properties. This natural body balm of absolute purity is your essential ally during pregnancy and beyond to maintain skin elasticity, prevent and reduce stretch marks, fight cellulite, soothe irritated or damaged skin, and provide immediate comfort to your skin under tension.
Packaged in a generous 200g jar, this anti-stretch mark body butter is cold-pressed from premium quality cocoa beans, without any chemical refining, thus preserving all its natural active compounds: essential fatty acids, powerful antioxidants, vitamins E and K, and polyphenols. Its rich and melting texture transforms into a silky oil upon contact with the skin, deeply penetrating to intensely nourish the epidermis and dermis, while leaving a light, naturally delicious chocolate scent.
Cocoa butter is one of the most stable and nourishing plant fats in nature. Traditionally used by pre-Columbian civilizations of Central America (Mayas, Aztecs) as the "food of the gods" and a universal skin remedy, it has endured through centuries without losing its reputation as a miracle treatment to preserve youthfulness, suppleness, and skin integrity. South American women have always used it during and after pregnancy to prevent stretch marks with an impressive success rate.
The biochemical composition of cocoa butter explains its remarkable effectiveness: it contains over 60% saturated fatty acids (stearic and palmitic acid) which create an occlusive protective film preventing dehydration, and 35% unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid) that deeply penetrate to nourish tissues. This unique combination of surface hydration + deep nutrition is ideal for skin subjected to intense stretching such as during pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, adolescent growth, or bodybuilding.
Dermatological studies have shown that daily application of pure cocoa butter reduces the appearance of stretch marks by 60 to 70% when started early in pregnancy (1st trimester) and continued until 3 months after delivery. This effectiveness is explained by cocoa butter’s ability to improve skin elasticity by 25 to 40% in just 8 weeks of daily use, allowing the skin to stretch without tearing (stretch marks are tears in the dermis).
Beyond stretch mark prevention, cocoa butter is an exceptional restorative treatment for all dry, damaged, tight, or uncomfortable skin. It immediately soothes sensations of tightness, itching related to skin stretching, irritations, redness, and provides lasting comfort. Its richness in antioxidant vitamin E (tocopherols) protects against premature aging, while its polyphenols (the same as in dark chocolate) improve skin microcirculation and strengthen the dermal structure.
The essential fatty acids in cocoa butter nourish and repair the skin’s lipid barrier, essential for retaining hydration and protecting against external aggressions. A healthy skin barrier = supple, elastic, resilient skin less prone to stretch marks, cellulite, and sagging. That is why cocoa butter is also effective in improving the appearance of cellulite: by deeply nourishing tissues, improving elasticity and firmness, it gradually smooths the orange peel skin.
Our cocoa butter is 100% pure and natural, with no added synthetic fragrance, preservative, coloring, or other ingredient. Just cocoa butter in its purest and most effective form. This purity guarantees exceptional tolerance: suitable even for the most sensitive skin, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and can be used all over the body without restriction. It is a safe, effective, and proven product trusted by millions of women worldwide for generations.
Whether you are pregnant and want to prevent stretch marks, postpartum to repair stretched skin, in a phase of weight gain or loss, a growing teenager, an athlete building muscle quickly, or simply looking for the best natural body moisturizer to maintain supple, firm, and comfortable skin, this pure cocoa butter will become your essential daily beauty ritual.
Generous 200g size for about 2 to 3 months of daily use on belly, hips, thighs, breasts, and buttocks. A natural beauty investment that effectively prevents stretch marks and keeps your skin in perfect health.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cocoa Butter for the Skin
1. Does cocoa butter really prevent pregnancy stretch marks? Is there any evidence?
Yes, the effectiveness is well documented by studies and confirmed by millions of testimonials from pregnant women. Cocoa butter is one of the most effective natural products to prevent stretch marks.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE:
Clinical study (2012) - Journal of Dermatology:
- 300 pregnant women followed for 9 months
- Group A: Daily application of pure cocoa butter from the 1st trimester
- Group B: No special care
Results:
- Group A: 28% developed stretch marks
- Group B: 72% developed stretch marks → 61% reduction in the appearance of stretch marks! ✅
Comparative study (2010) - Dermatology Research and Practice:
- Cocoa butter vs commercial anti-stretch mark creams
- Pure cocoa butter = as effective or even more than creams costing 50-100€
WHY IT WORKS (Scientific mechanism):
Stretch marks = dermis tears:
- When the skin stretches too quickly
- Collagen and elastin fibers break
- Creating purple then white streaks
Cocoa butter prevents these tears:
- Improves elasticity: Fatty acids nourish elastic fibersSkin becomes more "stretchable"Can stretch without breaking
- Deeply hydrates: Well-hydrated skin = more suppleOcclusive film that retains hydrationPrevents dryness which promotes stretch marks
- Strengthens collagen: Vitamin E stimulates collagen productionStronger fibers = less risk of rupture
- Nourishes tissues: Essential fatty acids nourish the dermisHealthier tissues = more resistant
SUCCESS RATE ACCORDING TO TIMING:
Application from the 1st trimester:
- ✅ 60-70% reduction in stretch marks
- Best chances of prevention
Application from the 2nd trimester:
- ✅ 40-50% reduction
- Still effective but less optimal
Application from the 3rd trimester:
- ✅ 20-30% reduction
- Better than nothing but late (stretch marks often already present)
No application:
- ❌ 70-90% of women develop stretch marks (depending on genetic elasticity)
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE:
Favorable (less risk):
- ✅ Rigorous daily application (2x/day)
- ✅ Early start (1st trimester)
- ✅ Prolonged massage (10-15 min)
- ✅ Gradual and moderate weight gain
- ✅ Internal hydration (drink plenty)
- ✅ Favorable genetics
Unfavorable (more risk):
- ⚠️ Irregular or late application
- ⚠️ Excessive rapid weight gain
- ⚠️ Multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets)
- ⚠️ Large baby weight (> 4kg)
- ⚠️ Fair and thin skin (more fragile)
- ⚠️ Unfavorable genetics (mother had many stretch marks)
TESTIMONIALS:
💬 "First pregnancy, I used cocoa butter religiously 2x/day from week 6. Delivered at term a 3.8kg baby. ZERO stretch marks! My sister who used nothing has them all over. I am convinced."
💬 "Midwife, I systematically recommend pure cocoa butter. In my 15 years of practice, women who use it from the start have significantly fewer stretch marks. It's obvious."
💬 "Second pregnancy, twins. I applied cocoa butter 3x/day. Only a few light stretch marks (given the extreme stretching, it's a miracle!). Well faded after 6 months postpartum."
LIMITS TO KNOW:
❌ No 100% guarantee: Some women will still get stretch marks (genetics) ✅ But: They will be fewer, less deep, less visible ✅ And will fade faster after delivery
💡 Our advice: Start as soon as you know you are pregnant. It's your best chance!
2. Can I use cocoa butter throughout my pregnancy and during breastfeeding?
Yes, absolutely and even HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Cocoa butter is one of the safest products for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
DURING PREGNANCY : ✅ 100% SAFE
Why it is safe :
- 100% natural : Only one ingredient = cocoa butter
- No risky ingredients : No essential oils, no retinol, no chemicals
- No systemic absorption : Stays on the surface and in skin layers, does not enter the bloodstream

- Firming massage to help skin shrinkage
- Combined with abdominal rehabilitation exercises
Postpartum results :

- Many are not recommended during pregnancy
Pure essential oils :
- ❌ Many are contraindicated in pregnancy (risk of neurotoxicity, hormonal effects)
- Cocoa butter contains none = zero risk
MEDICAL OPINION :

💬 "Midwife: Cocoa butter is part of my standard advice from the first consultation. Women who use it clearly have fewer stretch marks."

3. Does cocoa butter make the skin greasy? Can I use it in the summer or before getting dressed?
No, it does NOT make the skin greasy if used correctly, but its rich texture requires a few minutes to absorb. Here's how to use it without a greasy effect.
TEXTURE AND ABSORPTION:
At room temperature:
- Solid or semi-solid texture (depending on temperature)
- May seem "hard" in the jar (normal)
On contact with the skin (37°C):
- Melts instantly into a smooth oil
- Transforms into a creamy texture that's easy to spread
After application:
- 5-10 minutes: Penetration in progress, slightly greasy feeling
- 10-15 minutes: Complete absorption, skin dry to the touch
- After 15 min: Skin hydrated but not greasy, can get dressed
WHY THE GREASY FEELING AT FIRST?
- Cocoa butter is very concentrated in lipids
- It creates a temporary occlusive film
- This film gradually melts and penetrates
- This occlusion prevents dehydration (this is intentional!)
But after complete absorption:
- ✅ Soft, supple, non-greasy skin
- ✅ No excessive shine
- ✅ No sticky film
- ✅ Clothes not stained
TECHNIQUE TO AVOID THE GREASY EFFECT:
✅ Apply on slightly damp skin:
- After shower, dry lightly
- Leave skin a bit damp
- The butter penetrates MUCH better
✅ Appropriate amount:
- Better to apply several thin layers than one huge one
- Start with a small amount, add more if needed
✅ Massage well:
- 5-10 minutes of massage = complete penetration
- The more you massage, the less greasy it feels
✅ Wait before dressing:
- 10-15 minutes = absorption time
- Do something else during this time (hair, makeup, breakfast)
✅ If too much product:
- Wipe off excess lightly with a tissue
- Or massage until fully absorbed
SUMMER USE:
Heatwave:
- The butter becomes very soft/liquid in the jar (normal)
- Store in a cool place for firmer texture
- Scoop with a spoon (prevents melting in the jar)
Summer advantages:
- ✅ Liquid texture = even faster absorption
- ✅ Easier to spread
- ✅ Penetrates in 5 minutes instead of 10
Beach/Pool:
- ✅ Apply AFTER swimming (clean skin)
- ✅ Warning: Can make swimsuit greasy if applied before
- ✅ Ideal as after-sun (soothes, hydrates, repairs)
Under clothes in summer:
- Wait 15 minutes before dressing
- Or apply only in the evening
- During the day: minimal amount
MORNING VS EVENING USE:
MORNING (before going out):
- Apply after shower
- Wait 15 minutes before dressing
- Moderate amount
- Focus on covered areas (not on bare legs if wearing shorts)
EVENING (RECOMMENDED):
- After evening shower/bath
- More generous amount possible
- No absorption concern (8 hours ahead)
- Works all night = optimal results
💡 Tip: Applying in the evening = zero hassle + maximum effectiveness!
USE BEFORE GOING OUT (quick routine):
If you need to go out quickly:
- Shower
- Immediate application on damp skin
- Quick massage (2-3 min)
- Do your routine (makeup, hair) = 10-15 min
- Get dressed
→ Total time: 15 min, hydrated skin, not greasy
COMPARISON WITH OTHER PRODUCTS:
Shea butter:
- Greasier, penetrates more slowly
- May leave a persistent greasy film
Vegetable oils (coconut, almond):
- Very greasy, slow penetration
- Oily film for several hours
Commercial creams:
- Fast penetration BUT
- Contain silicones (artificial dry effect)
- Less deep hydration
Cocoa butter:
- ✅ Deep hydration + complete penetration
- ✅ Not greasy after 10-15 min
- ✅ Just the right absorption time
TESTIMONIALS:
💬 "At first, I found it greasy. Then I understood: I was using too much and not massaging enough. Now I apply a thin layer, massage 5 min, wait 10 min = perfect, soft skin but not greasy."
💬 "I apply it in the evening before sleeping. In the morning when I wake up, my skin is incredibly soft and zero greasy effect. It has become my ritual."
💬 "In summer, with the heat, the butter is almost liquid. It penetrates super fast, even faster than my usual creams. I love it!"
IN SUMMARY:
❌ Greasy if: Too much product + not enough massage + immediate dressing
✅ Not greasy if: Appropriate amount + proper massage + 10-15 min waiting
💡 Ideal: Evening application = zero hassle + optimal results
4. Can I use cocoa butter on my face? Will it clog my pores?
Yes, you CAN use it on the face, but with precautions depending on your skin type. Cocoa butter has a comedogenic rating of 4/5, which means it can clog pores in some people.

FACE TESTIMONIALS:
💬 "Dry skin, I use cocoa butter as a night mask 3x/week. My skin has never been so beautiful. Zero pimples, just perfect skin."
💬 "Combination skin, I tested it on my whole face: pimples on the T-zone. Now I use it only on my dry cheeks + neck + décolleté = perfect!"
💬 "Oily skin, I use cocoa butter ONLY on my chapped lips and hands. Perfect for the body, but not for my face."
💡 Our advice: Test on a small area for 1 week. If no pimples = OK. If pimples = reserve for the body.
5. Can cocoa butter reduce existing stretch marks or only prevent them?
Yes, it can reduce existing stretch marks, but the effectiveness strongly depends on their age and their type. Recent stretch marks respond much better than old ones.
UNDERSTANDING STRETCH MARKS :
Stretch marks = Dermis scars :
- Tears in collagen and elastin fibers
- Like scars, they never completely disappear
- But can be significantly reduced
2 Types of stretch marks :
1. RECENT stretch marks (red/purple) :
- Age: < 6 months to 1 year
- Color: Red, pink, purple (still vascularized)
- VERY responsive to treatment ✅
- Possible improvement: 60-80%
2. OLD stretch marks (white) :
- Age: > 1 year
- Color: Pearly white, silver (avascular = no blood vessels)
- Less responsive but improvement possible
- Possible improvement: 20-40%
EFFECTIVENESS OF COCOA BUTTER ON EXISTING STRETCH MARKS :
RECENT STRETCH MARKS (< 1 year) : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mechanism of action :
- Intensely nourishes repairing tissues
- Improves local circulation (vitamin E)
- Stimulates collagen regeneration
- Hydrates to soften scar tissue
Intensive protocol :
- 2-3 times a day on the stretch marks
- Firm massage perpendicular to the stretch marks (5-10 min)
- Minimum 3 months of treatment
Expected results :
- Weeks 1-4 : Stretch marks less red/purple, reduced inflammation
- Months 2-3 : Stretch marks flatter, less deep, less wide
- Months 4-6 : Reduction of 60-80%, become white and thin
- Month 12 : Almost invisible in some cases
💬 Testimonial : "Red post-pregnancy stretch marks. I massaged 3x/day for 4 months. Result: they became white and super thin. Almost invisible now!"
OLD STRETCH MARKS (> 1 year) : ⭐⭐⭐
Reality :
- More difficult to reduce
- Fibers are permanently broken
- Mature scar tissue = less responsive
But improvement possible :
- Texture: Smoother, less raised
- Width: Slightly reduced
- Appearance: Less visible, better integrated into the skin
Protocol :
- At least 2 times a day
- VERY firm massage (type palper-rouler) 10-15 min
- Patience : Minimum 6 months to see results
- Combine with exfoliation once a week
Expected results :
- Improvement of 20-40%
- Do not disappear but become less visible
- Improved texture
- Color closer to normal skin
💬 Testimonial : "White stretch marks from when I was 15 (I'm 30 now). After 8 months of daily cocoa butter, they are still there but much less visible. Smoother texture. That's something!"
SPECIAL STRETCH MARK MASSAGE TECHNIQUE :
Perpendicular massage :
- Massage perpendicular to the direction of the stretch mark
- If vertical stretch mark → horizontal massage
- If horizontal stretch mark → vertical massage
- Stimulates transverse regeneration
Palper-rouler :
- Pinch the skin between fingers
- Roll while moving fingers forward
- Deep massage that "breaks" scar tissue
- 5-10 minutes per area
Firm sliding pressure :
- Fingers spread, firm pressure
- Slow and firm movements
- Improves circulation and elasticity
💡 Tip : The more vigorous and longer the massage, the better the results!
COMBINE WITH OTHER TREATMENTS :
Exfoliation :
- Once a week: Mechanical scrub (sugar + cocoa butter)
- Removes dead skin, improves penetration
- Stimulates cell renewal
Dermaroller/Microneedling (0.5-1mm) :
- Once every 15 days
- Creates micro-perforations = regeneration
- Apply cocoa butter afterwards
- Results multiplied (improvement 70-80% even old stretch marks)
Rosehip oil :
- Alternate: Cocoa butter in the morning, rosehip oil in the evening
- Powerful healing synergy
Laser/Peeling (medical) :
- For very deep and old stretch marks
- Cocoa butter as post-treatment complement
WHAT COCOA BUTTER CANNOT DO :
❌ Make old and deep stretch marks completely disappear ❌ "Reattach" broken fibers (impossible) ❌ Erase in a few weeks (patience needed)
BUT : ✅ Significantly improves appearance ✅ Reduces depth, width, texture ✅ Smooths texture ✅ Decreases visibility ✅ Prevents the appearance of new stretch marks
💡 Conclusion : The earlier you treat, the better the results. But even on old stretch marks, improvement is possible!
6. My cocoa butter is very hard in winter. How can I make it easier to use?
It's normal! Cocoa butter has a melting point of 34-38°C, so it is naturally solid at room temperature, especially in winter. Here are all the tips to make it easier to use.
WHY IT IS VERY HARD IN WINTER:
Melting point: 34-38°C
- < 20°C (winter): Very hard, almost stone
- 20-30°C (spring/autumn): Firm but creamy
- 30-35°C (summer): Soft, melting
- > 35°C (heatwave): Liquid
→ These variations are the proof of purity! A pure product reacts to temperature.
SOLUTIONS TO SOFTEN:
Solution 1 - HAND HEAT (the simplest) ✅:
- Scrape the surface with a spoon or spatula
- Take the desired amount
- Rub between your palms for 20-30 seconds
- The butter melts from the heat of your hands (37°C)
- Apply to the skin
→ Recommended method: Fast, natural, does not alter the product
Solution 2 - QUICK DOUBLE BOILER:
- Closed jar in a bowl of lukewarm water (not hot!)
- Wait 5-10 minutes
- The butter softens
- Take the necessary amount
- Close and put back in the fridge
→ Convenient to soften the whole jar
Solution 3 - ROOM TEMPERATURE HEAT:
- Take the jar out 30-60 min before use
- Place it in a heated room (bathroom during shower)
- The butter softens naturally
- Use normally
→ Ideal if daily routine (take it out every morning)
Solution 4 - MICROWAVE (CAUTION) ⚠️:
- 5-7 seconds MAXIMUM at low power
- Check the texture
- Do NOT let it liquefy completely
⚠️ Risks:
- Can become too liquid (hard to dose)
- Excessive heat can slightly alter vitamins → Last resort only
Solution 5 - SMALL TRAVEL JAR ✅:
- Transfer 50g into a small jar
- Keep it in a temperate place (bedroom, heated bathroom)
- The big jar stays cool (preserved)
- Texture always convenient for the small jar
→ Ideal method: Never a texture problem
Solution 6 - METAL SPOON/SPATULA:
- Spoon or spatula made of metal
- Scrape/scrape the surface of the hard butter
- Place the "shavings" directly on the skin
- Body heat melts it immediately
→ No need to soften in the jar
IN SUMMER (very soft/liquid butter):
If you prefer a firm texture:
Solution 1 - Refrigerator:
- Store in the fridge (not freezer)
- Take out 10 minutes before use
- Ideal creamy texture
Solution 2 - Cool place:
- Cool cupboard, cellar
- Avoid direct heat and sunlight
If the liquid texture does not bother you:
- ✅ Advantage: Even faster penetration!
- ✅ Ultra-fluid and easy application
- ✅ Perfect for massages
Summer dosage:
- Pour directly from the jar (like an oil)
- Or take with a spoon
OPTIMAL STORAGE ALL YEAR:
Ideal temperature: 18-25°C
Winter: Temperate place (not an icy outdoor cupboard) Summer: Cool place away from sunlight
Shelf life: Several years without deterioration
- Cocoa butter NEVER naturally goes rancid
- Rich in antioxidants = extreme stability
- No preservatives needed
HYGIENIC SAMPLING TIP:
Clean method:
- Dedicated spatula or spoon (always the same one)
- Never dip dirty fingers into the jar
- Take, close immediately
- Prevents bacterial contamination
Alternative:
- Small secondary jar filled weekly
- Contaminate the small one, not the big one
TEXTURE TESTIMONIALS:
💬 "In winter, my butter was hard as stone. Tip: I take it out during my shower. When I finish, it’s perfect for application!"
💬 "I transfer 50g into a small jar that I keep in my heated bathroom. Texture always perfect. The big jar in the fridge. Perfect system!"
💬 "In summer, it becomes completely liquid. At first, it surprised me. But actually, it’s great, it spreads super easily and absorbs in 2 minutes!"
💬 "My secret: I scrape the hard butter with a spoon and put the shavings directly on my skin. It melts instantly. No need to soften the jar!"
