INCI: Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter

Cocoa Butter is a raw, unrefined plant butter widely used in body butters, balms, lip products, soaps, and lotions where a rich, emollient feel is wanted. It melts on contact with the skin, which makes it especially useful in richer oil-phase products and whipped butter-style blends. This version is presented as suitable for cosmetic use and is best treated as a cosmetic raw material rather than a food ingredient. It has a naturally chocolate-like aroma that gives finished products a warm, recognisable character.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Cocoa Butter because it is one of those classic DIY staples that brings both richness and personality to a formula. The raw, unrefined character gives it a more natural feel, and it works beautifully across lip care, body care, and richer emulsions.

Also available in Sample Sizes.

Q: Does Cocoa Butter have a strong scent?
A: Raw, unrefined cocoa butter usually has a noticeable natural cocoa aroma, which is part of its appeal in DIY products.

Q: Can Cocoa Butter be whipped?
A: Yes. It is commonly melted and blended with a softer carrier oil before whipping into a lighter body butter texture.

Q: Is this better suited to body care or facial care?
A: It is most often used in richer body-care and lip-care products, though it can also be included in facial formulas where a heavier butter is appropriate.
