At the core of every Bloom Body Scrub is a base that does more than just hold the exfoliants together — it deeply nourishes and restores your skin. Cocoa butter is one of our hero ingredients, and here’s why we love it so much.

What is Cocoa Butter?

Cocoa butter is a rich, natural fat extracted from cocoa beans — yes, the same ones used to make chocolate. But don’t be fooled by its decadent origins: this ingredient is a powerhouse for skin health.

Benefits of Cocoa Butter in Body Scrubs

1. Deep, Lasting Hydration
Cocoa butter is packed with fatty acids that create a barrier on the skin, sealing in moisture and preventing dryness — perfect for post-exfoliation softness.

2. Naturally Soothing & Anti-Inflammatory
Its emollient properties calm irritated skin and reduce redness, making it ideal for sensitive or freshly exfoliated skin.

3. Rich in Antioxidants
Cocoa butter is full of polyphenols that fight free radicals and support skin elasticity — great for minimizing the appearance of stretch marks and scars over time.

4. Smooth, Luxurious Texture
In our scrubs, cocoa butter melts on contact, giving you a velvety glide as you exfoliate. It turns your scrub routine into a spa-like experience.

Why We Love Cocoa Butter

While shea and mango butters are popular in natural skincare, we love cocoa butter for its:

• Subtle, comforting scent
• Firm, non-greasy consistency
• Shelf stability (meaning fewer preservatives needed)

Plus, it holds up beautifully in warm climates, so your scrub won’t melt into a puddle before you’re ready to use it.

Pro Tip: Try It on Damp Skin

After your shower, scoop a bit of your Bloom scrub and massage it onto damp skin. The cocoa butter helps trap water and delivers longer-lasting hydration than lotion alone.
