Due to an extreme product shortage, the current batch available is in chunks rather than wafers as shown in the picture
Cocoa Butter is a very hard saturated fat pressed from cocoa beans. It lays a protective layer on top of skin which holds in moisture while softening and lubricating the skin. Used in Cold Process Soap, Lip Balms and Glosses, Bath Products, Creams and Lotions, Salves and many other skin care products.
NOTE: A combination of poor harvests in Western Africa, particularly in Ghana and Ivory Coast, which collectively produce about 60% of the world's cocoa beans, along with subsequent disease outbreaks and socio-economic issues, has led to significant supply shortages and the highest prices in over 40 years. Our purchasing team is diligently working with our suppliers to secure stock at the best possible price. We remain hopeful that prices will decrease once growing conditions and supply/demand balance normalize.
Cocoa Butter Deodorized is extensively used in cold process soap and creams for it's ability to hold in moisture while softening skin.
