Handmade hydration, from nature to you.
At Nairobi Skincare, we believe that caring for your skin should feel like a treat. Especially if your skin is sensitive, dry, or easily irritated. That’s why we use raw, unrefined cocoa butter (also known as cacao butter) in our handmade products. This rich, velvety ingredient is a true skin savior, packed with natural antioxidants and deeply moisturizing fatty acids that help soothe, protect, and restore the skin barrier.
What makes cocoa butter so special? It melts effortlessly into the skin, delivering intense hydration without clogging pores or causing irritation. And the scent? Think soft, warm chocolate, naturally sweet and comforting, without the need for artificial fragrance.
If your skin tends to react to harsh ingredients or you simply want to nourish it with something gentle and pure, cocoa butter is your go-to ingredient. We love it for its simplicity, purity, and the beautiful glow it gives even to the most sensitive skin types.
Cocoa butter feels like a hug for your skin. And yes… it smells like chocolate.

HOW TO USE OUR WHIPPED BODY BUTTER COCOA (PLAINE JANE)

What is body butter cacao exactly?
Cocoa butter also known as Theobroma cacao butter is a rich, plant-based fat extracted from cocoa beans. While most people know it as the ingredient that gives chocolate its creamy texture, cocoa butter is also one of the most deeply nourishing and skin-loving ingredients you can find in natural skincare.
At Nairobi Skincare, we use raw, unrefined cocoa butter in our products for its unmatched ability to hydrate and protect the skin. Our cocoa body butter is the ultimate solution for anyone struggling with dehydrated, flaky, or itchy skin. It forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface that immediately reduces moisture loss, while replenishing essential lipids that keep the skin soft, smooth, and resilient.
Cocoa butter is especially powerful because of its high content of fatty acids and antioxidants like vitamin E, which support skin elasticity, soothe irritation, and promote overall skin health. It helps restore and strengthen the natural skin barrier, making it ideal for people with sensitive, dry, or reactive skin types.
Unlike many lotions that offer temporary relief, cocoa butter has a long-lasting effect. Even the driest areas like heels, elbows, knees, and hands stay soft and moisturized for hours after application. The texture is luxuriously thick, but melts beautifully on contact with your skin, absorbing gradually and leaving behind a smooth, velvety feel.
And let’s not forget the naturally sweet, chocolatey scent subtle, comforting, and completely free from artificial fragrance.
So, what is cocoa butter? It’s nature’s answer to thirsty skin. Rich, gentle, effective, and beautifully simple. Once you try it, you’ll wonder how your skin ever lived without it.
