Cocoa butter is a fat extracted from cocoa beans used in skincare to soften skin and form an occlusive barrier that reduces transepidermal water loss. It is commonly used in lotions, balms, and lip products as a base/emollient ingredient.
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan that attracts and binds water to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and improve the appearance of plumpness and smoothness. It is widely used in moisturizers and serums and is generally well tolerated across skin types.
