Product Description
Cocoa Butter, sourced from the beans of the cacao fruit, is a rich, naturally derived ingredient valued for its content of vitamins, antioxidants, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids. This ultra refined, deodorised grade offers the same functional benefits as unrefined cocoa butter, without the natural chocolate aroma, making it ideal for use in fragranced cosmetic formulations.
When applied topically, Cocoa Butter acts as an effective emollient that helps to moisturise and condition dry or sensitive skin. It also improves the texture and manageability of hair, leaving it softer and smoother.
This butter integrates well into a variety of formulations and pairs easily with both floral and fine fragrances. Solid at room temperature, it melts readily upon contact with the skin for smooth application and absorption.

Directions and Suggested Usage
Creams and Lotions: Add Ultra Refined Deodorised Cocoa Butter at 2% to 20% to boost moisture and improve overall texture. Warm gently until softened, then incorporate into the formulation while mixing to achieve a smooth, uniform finish.
Balms and Solid Treatments: This Cocoa Butter can be used on its own as a conditioning balm or blended with other ingredients to create customised products. Usage levels can range from 5% up to full concentration depending on the desired firmness and glide.
Soap Making: In bar soaps, Cocoa Butter contributes to a harder, more conditioning bar. A typical guideline is 1 tablespoon per pound of base or 5% to 20% of the total formula. Variations in ingredients and processing may affect results, so small batch testing is recommended.
Hair Care Applications: Incorporate at 1% to 10% in conditioners and treatments to help smooth the hair, reduce dryness, and improve manageability. For targeted use, apply a small amount to the ends, leave briefly, and rinse thoroughly to prevent buildup.
