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.

This product is certified: Vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.

Faqs

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: 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.

Cocoa Butter

Quality product, mixed well with other products for DIY hair butter.... 👌

It's a definite yes for me

If I wasn't won over by the soft, nourishing feel of this product, the chocolatey undertones are what got me hooked. It feels great on the skin and smells even better.

So nourishing!

This is my best butter by far! Raw and unrefined...just rubbing it on your skin leaves it so smooth and moisturised. Bonus: no funny smell.
Mix it with some Shea butter, grapeseed oil and your favourite essential oils for a skin nourishing whipped crème.
