I recently read that applying cocoa butter to the skin may be beneficial in treating vitiligo.
Apparently it also helps with hyperpigmentation, which is why I'm using it myself. I apply it twice daily. The stuff I'm using is Palmer's Coca Butter Formula with Vitamin E. (Coca extract is the second ingredient, after water)
The only thing I'm concerned about is if it restores pigment to vitiligo spots, will it bring pigment back instead of fading it? (I don't want that, I'm trying to depigment) I guess the only way to find out is to try and see what happens.
If I see any improvement I'll post it here.

I've used cocoa butter for years and I've never noticed any change to my vitiligo. I just started my depigmentation process so keep us posted if you see any changes while using cocoa butter. thanks!
