Cocoa Butter:
Cocoa butter is an aromatic fat derived from the cacao beans contained in the fruit pods of the Cocoa/Cacao tree. Cocoa butter melts at body temperature and naturally soothes dry, sensitive skin and has been used for scars for centuries. Cocoa Butter is high in omega 9 which boosts softness, radiance and suppleness to the skin and hair. It aids in reducing the appearance of premature aging such as wrinkles and fine lines and has antioxidant properties. Cocoa butter creates a protective barrier on the skin which restores the skin by giving the skin an opportunity to retain its required moisture and vibrance. The polyphenols in Cocoa Butter are known to aid in skin health and function as well.

2,3-dimethyl benzofuran is a chemical compound responsible for giving coffee its smokey, woody, and sweet fragrance. Dihydrobenzofuran is one of the most important chemical compounds found in the brain and primarily functions as a serotonin receptor. Low levels of serotonin have been linked to depressive disorders, memory issues, low libido, and a reduced appetite. Known as the happy hormone, serotonin is able to improve cognitive functions and mood, so it is thought that an increase in the amounts of dihydrobenzofuran available in the body correlates to an increase in serotonin levels. Coffee essential oil is said to be one of the best homeopathic remedies for aching joints and sore muscles. Kahweol is the compound responsible for its anti-inflammatory properties, and studies have shown its effectiveness in reducing inflammation. Coffee essential oil is also a potent topical analgesic that increases blood flow to the area applied, thought to increase the rate of healing while providing relief. Coffee oil is jammed packed with components good for the skin such as antioxidants, vitamin E and may even have some skin damage protection in some studies that show it's ability to remove damaged cells. Due to the antioxidants in coffee essential oil, it has fantastic anti-aging properties. These antioxidants actively work to reduce oxidative stress on the skin, leading to increased blood flow oxygen delivery to cells. Increased blood flow is thought to stimulates collagen production in the epidermis and results in the reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, and age spots. The caffeine content found in this essential oil has also been shown to drastically reduce the appearance of crow’s feet by reducing their depth.
