Cocoa Butter (Pure Prime Pressed) – Organic | Raw, Unrefined Moisture & Protection

Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao) — also known as Cacao Butter — is a pure, prime-pressed, unrefined butter sourced from certified organic farms in Peru. Derived from the seeds of the cacao tree, this natural butter is prized for its velvety texture, sweet cocoa aroma, and exceptional oxidative stability.

With a naturally high melting point and long shelf life, Cocoa Butter is an essential base ingredient for lotions, body butters, balms, soaps, and more. Its rich fatty acid profile provides lasting hydration, enhances elasticity, and helps maintain supple, youthful-looking skin.

Formulation Notes

When incorporating into creams or lotions, gently warm until liquefied and blend thoroughly. In soapmaking, use approximately one tablespoon per pound of oils for a silky, conditioning finish. Always melt over low heat and stir gently to preserve nutrients.

Natural butters may melt or re-solidify with a grainy texture or develop a thin white “fat bloom” from stearic acid crystallization. This is harmless and can be resolved by gently melting, stirring, and quickly cooling to reset the texture.

Please note: Returns are not accepted for natural texture variations.
