People have used cocoa butter for its health benefits for hundreds of years. Most studies focus on cocoa powder, which has specific properties that could promote skin health. Little research has looked at whether these benefits extend to cocoa butter. In more recent times, researchers have found that cocoa has several healthful properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

More research in this area may provide some evidence for the benefits of cocoa butter in the future.
