Abstract: The vitro antioxidation activity of cocoa butter was evaluated by the determination of scavenging ratio of DPPH free radicals and ABTS+ free radicals,as well as oil peroxide value (POV).Results showed that the cocoa butter polyphenols display good antioxidation activity,the half maximal effective concentration (EC50) value of DPPH free radicals and ABTS+ free radicals is 11.61 and 10.59 mg/L respectively,which are better than that of vitamin C and vitamin E.Natural cocoa butter can effectively restrain the oxidation of oils and fats,and the effect is directly correlated with the dosage.Adding natural cocoa butter into cosmetic creams can effectively raise the moisturizing performance,upgrade the whitening effect and improve the skin elasticity.Meanwhile,it is safe for human skin and no skin irritation displays.

Key words: skin cream, natural cocoa butter, antioxidation activity, efficacy evaluation
