This organic cocoa butter is raw and unrefined, processed without heat or chemicals to retain its natural composition and nutrients. Certified USDA Organic and labeled food grade, it meets standards for both cosmetic and culinary use. The 8 oz size offers a concentrated block of 100% pure cocoa butter intended for skin care routines.

Sourced from cacao beans, this butter is rich in fatty acids and naturally occurring antioxidants such as polyphenols and vitamin E. Its unrefined state preserves a deep chocolate aroma and a dense, slightly brittle texture that softens upon contact with body heat. Because no additives, preservatives, or fragrances are introduced, it is suitable for those avoiding synthetic ingredients in personal care.

Common applications include use as a base for creams targeting scars and stretch marks, as well as a moisturizer for dry or cracked skin. The thickness of the butter makes it appropriate for areas requiring intensive hydration, such as elbows, knees, and heels. It can also be melted and blended with carrier oils or beeswax for customized lip balms or body butters. The product is compatible with most skin types, including sensitive or reactive skin, but a patch test is recommended prior to widespread use due to individual variations in response.

Key attributes include the absence of hexane or other chemical solvents in processing, the maintenance of the cocoa butter’s original saponification value, and a high melting point near body temperature. As a food-grade ingredient, it poses no risk if used in small amounts for cooking or baking, although the primary intended use is external. This product should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its stability and shelf life.
