7 Reasons Why Cocoa Butter Makes Botanical Butter Buns A Skin Savior
If you fancy yourself somewhat of a beauty and skincare fanatic, it’s likely that by now you’ve heard about cocoa butter. Dermatologists, skin-fluencers, and beauty experts don’t often agree on many things but on this, they seem to be on the same page: cocoa butter is legit!
People have been singing the praises of cocoa butter for ages and for good reason. Moisturizing and nourishing, this ingredient seems to be a savior for skin. But is it really? Is cocoa butter good for your skin? And if so, what makes it so beneficial? What’s more, what kind of products can you use to maximize the benefits of it? We’ll get into all of that and show you 7 ways cocoa butter can save your skin when you use botanical butter buns.
What is Cocoa Butter?
Understanding what cocoa butter is is where it all begins. This naturally occurring moisturizer for dry skin sounds good, smells good, and feels even better. It’s a powerhouse concoction for dry skin, stretch marks, scars, and so much more.
Cocoa butter comes from the cacao bean, which is the same bean that’s used to make chocolate; no wonder its benefits are so sweet! The “butter” element from the cacao bean comes from the fat that is extracted after the drying, roasting, and pressing processes. The reason it’s so good for our skin is because it’s jam packed with fatty acids and antioxidants.
Cocoa butter is an emollient, which means its main purpose is to increase moisture levels in the skin through softening and soothing. Emollients create a protective film on the skin’s outermost layer to trap moisture and prevent it from evaporating. So instead of just making skin moist, it goes deeper and works to heal it for the long term.
What are Botanical Butter Buns?
Now onto how you can incorporate cocoa butter into a practical part of your daily routine. While cocoa butter can be found in many body and skincare products, one of the best ways to capitalize on its benefits is through a botanical butter bun.
Malie Organics' Botanical Butter Bun is the ultimate in-shower indulgence for your skin. Similar in appearance to a bar of soap, it deeply hydrates instead of cleanses. Beautifully molded and perfectly sized to fit in your hand, botanical butter buns deliver the moisturizing treatment you’ve been seeking for your skin.
This luxurious body moisturizer is made with high quality organic ingredients, including mango butter, cocoa butter, vitamin E and turmeric. Nourishing, protective, and hydrating, botanical butter buns tap on the power of cocoa butter to provide numerous benefits to the skin, including repairing sunburns and preventing skin from peeling. They are especially practical for sun-kissed skin. People who spend extended periods of time outdoors in the sun need natural products that will heal and repair; Malie Organics’ Botanical Butter Bun is exactly that.
It is specifically formulated to address skin concerns related to sun exposure, stretch marks, and scarring. Best of all, it feels amazing both when you use it in the shower and long after.
How Cocoa Butter Buns Can Save Your Skin
If you’re looking for a simple way to keep your skin looking and feeling radiant, cocoa butter may be exactly what you need. Using a botanical butter bun could help your skin in the following ways.
1. Helps protect against free radical damage. Free radicals exist everywhere in the outside world and include things like pollutants and UV rays from the sun. Cocoa butter helps counteract the damage inflicted by free radicals with its antioxidant properties. Less free radical damage means a reduced appearance of skin aging, skin damage, patchy skin, and dullness.
2. Anti Inflammatory properties help skin remain resilient, radiant, and smooth. Less inflammation means less redness and irritation – we can certainly get onboard with that!
3. Helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars. This tends to be a particular concern for people with injuries and postpartum women. Regularly using botanical butter buns may help soften and minimize the appearance of these over time.
4. May help improve skin elasticity. This goes in line with the skin’s ability to return to its original condition after having been stretched. This just goes to show that good things do come back around. It just takes time and the right ingredients to get there.
5. Provides intense moisturization. This emollient hydrates the skin past the top layers for maximum nourishment. That means your skin will not only look and feel good for a few hours; it will continue to heal long after you use the butter bun. For the best results, keep using it!
6. Soothing for sensitive skin. This can be useful for people with eczema and other forms of dermatitis. As always, however, it is highly recommended that you consult your doctor beforehand if you have concerns.
7. Acts as a great alternative to makeup removers. This is a little-known fact about cocoa butter in skincare. The oily consistency helps pull dirt, debris, and makeup off skin cleanly without irritation. While it’s always best to use body products for the body and skincare products for the face (and to not mix them), this is useful information to have if you wear body makeup or have facial skin care products with cocoa butter in them.
How to Use a Botanical Butter Bun to Maximize Skin Benefits
It couldn’t be easier to use a Malie Organics' Botanical Butter Bun.
First, place the bun briefly under warm water. Then let the butters slightly melt to soften the consistency of the product.
Once you’ve done this, gently massage the oils from the botanical butter bun into your clean, damp skin. You can continue to shower as you normally would and you’ll notice that the water will bead off of your skin due to the intense hydration. This is perfectly normal and a good indication that the product is working as it’s supposed to.
You can also use Malie Organics’ Butter Buns to shave with. The moisturizing properties of the cocoa butter make it a suitable and amazing-smelling alternative to shaving cream.
When you’re done, simply step out of the shower and pat dry. Your skin will be moisturized and rejuvenated. Plus, because the bun contains cocoa butter, there is no need to apply lotion afterwards. All you have to do is relish in your newly radiant skin!
