Cocoa butter, used in our formulas as an emollient for dry skin. Its source is a safety assessment, which speaks to its safety in cosmetics, not to a measured effect on how skin looks.

Velvet in the formula

Cocoa Butter sits in our formulas for one job: feeding and reinforcing the skin barrier. We file it under Nourishing in this glossary for the job we use it for, and the evidence section below says how far its source goes.

Velvet in the butter

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Velvet in the evidence

Our source is a safety assessment or regulatory listing, recorded as CIR 2017 Burnett SAFE AS USED (Cocoa Butter emollient). We grade that as a safety and status source rather than an efficacy one.

Velvet and its limits

The research behind Cocoa Butter studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
