Yosher-Dan Pure Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter, also called theobroma oil, is a pale-yellow, natural edible vegetable fat extracted from the cocoa bean. It is used to make chocolate, as well as some ointments, toiletries, and pharmaceuticals. Cocoa butter has a cocoa flavor and aroma.

To harness cocoa butter, the beans are taken out of the larger cocoa plant. Then they’re roasted, stripped, and pressed to separate out the fat-the cocoa butter. The remnants are then processed into cocoa powder. Raw cocoa butter isn’t heated to very high temperatures during manufacturing processes, which means it usually retains more of the healthy fats and other compounds found naturally in cocoa beans.

Fat Composition

Cocoa butter is a healthy fat, mostly saturated just like coconut oil. The amount of saturated fat it contains (as opposed to unsaturated fat) is between 57% to 64% of the total fat content, depending on the exact kind. Among the different types of fatty acids are:

Arachidic acid (C20:0) 1.0%
Linoleic acid (C18:2) 3.2%
Oleic acid (C18:1) 34.5%
Palmitic acid (C16:0) 26.0%
Palmitoleic acid (C16:1) 0.3%
Stearic acid (C18:0) 34.5%
Other Fatty Acids 0.5%

Benefits

Prevents skin dryness- Cocoa butter makes an excellent skin moisturizer, hydrates the skin and improves skin healing. The natural antioxidants which are found in cocoa beans (the same kinds found in real, dark chocolates) are tied to improved heart health and cognitive functioning).
Treatment of chapped lips- One of the most popular ways to use cocoa butter is on the lips, especially in homemade lip balms. It can be used with essential oils like peppermint oil to make flavorful lip palms that are also hydrating for delicate skin. Cocoa butter is an emollient, which means it adds a protective layer of hydration to your lips, useful for blocking the effects of very cold temperatures, sun damage or indoor heat, which can leave your lips dry.
Anti-aging- Cocoa butter contains compounds called cocoa mass polyphenols, which can help diminish signs of aging, plus soothe sensitive skin suffering from dermatitis or rashes. Polyphenols are types of antioxidants that promote health both internally when eaten and when used topically on the skin. Cocoa’s polyphenols have been found to fight various chronic diseases, degeneration of the skin, sensitivities and even cell mutations
Soothing of burns, rashes, and infections- Cocoa butter is gentle enough to be used as a natural treatment for eczema or dermatitis. It’s also an anti-rash natural remedy. Aloe vera gel or tea tree essential oil are also two great additions for applying to burnt or sensitive skin.
Heart health- Plant-derived saturated fats are beneficial for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The polyphenolic components found in cocoa butter have been shown to help lower inflammatory markers involved in atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), which is why cocoa is now considered an anti-inflammatory food. Cocoa also seems to help with lipid (fat) metabolism and is linked with a decreased risk for vascular events, such as a heart attack.
Immune system booster- Plant polyphenols exert antioxidant powers within the immune system, fighting inflammation, DNA damage and cellular mutations, which are the underlying cause of diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer and autoimmune conditions that can lead to fatigue. Using cocoa butter over refined vegetable oils can reduce inflammation in general and help with hormonal balance and brain health — all while working as an immune system booster.

Afrimash provides various shipping methods. These methods vary based on the class of the item being shipped, the weight, and/or the customer’s choice at checkout.

We currently offer three shipping options: Local Pickup shipping, Economy shipping, and Convenient shipping options.

Local Pickup Shipping

Local Pickup is the shipping option that gives our customers affordable delivery fees with flexible control over the pickup of their orders.

This means that the customer can pick up his or her package from a local road transport park or an agreed pickup point close to his/her home or office address. We ensure swift and secure deliveries through commercial vehicles from third-party transporters and road transport agencies across Nigeria.

We also make sure the third-party transporters are supplied with the contact details of the customers for communication and a smooth delivery process.

For this type of delivery method, we always encourage our customers to get ready to pick up their items before the drivers get to the agreed pickup point or park.

Customer Guidelines for Local Pick-ups

Please get to the agreed local park or pickup venue early enough before the arrival of your order, which is packaged and sealed with your invoice.
Please inspect your item immediately at the pickup point before leaving.
If there is any problem, please contact the Afrimash logistics team on 2348092323212
Also note that Afrimash works with 3rd party transporters/drivers, the rigors of the journey may affect their temperament while communicating with customers, thus we advise for patience and tact when communicating with the drivers as well as picking up your orders.
Drivers are always paid per order before dispatch unless otherwise stated prior to dispatch of your order.
Kindly disregard any solicitation for extra payment from any driver before picking up your order.

Local pickup is suitable for customers who are ready to pick up their items within 24 hours after order confirmation. Local pickup is also suitable for customers who are close to central locations and motor parks as this gives them easy access to the pickup of their goods.
