Cocoa butter is extracted from cocoa plants, also known as Theobroma cacao. It nourishes the hair and stimulates tone in the hair fibre. Because it has a rich concentration of polyphenols and vitamins, cocoa butter has an antioxidant and stimulating effect on the hair. It also protects the hair fibre because of its linoleic, oleic and stearic acid content and counteracts the formation of free radicals.
