Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is the primary ingredient in chocolate - it's the natural fat found in cocoa beans. It's supposed to be kept in a fridge - of course most cosmetics don't store in a fridge. It has natural antioxidants in it. Some feel it can last up to a year at room temperature because of the antioxidants. Cocoa butter was first extracted from cocoa in 1828. Cocoa butter has about 5 IU of Vitamin E per oz.
