Unrefined Cocoa Butter 100 g

Why Cocoa Butter Remains a Staple for Balms, Bars, and Small-Batch Skincare

Unrefined cocoa butter is a solid plant fat obtained through cold pressing of cacao beans without further purification, which allows it to retain its natural chocolate aroma along with a rich profile of naturally occurring antioxidants. This 100 g package is ideal for home crafters, small test batches, and formulators who want to trial a new recipe before committing to larger production volumes. This ingredient belongs to the butters category, which brings together dense plant fats with high melting points used to build structure in creams, balms, and soap bars.

The most common applications of unrefined cocoa butter include lip balms, nourishing body creams, massage bars, stretch mark and dry skin treatments, and natural cold or hot process soap making. In pharmaceutical manufacturing this fat has long served as a base for suppositories thanks to its ability to melt at body temperature while remaining solid at room temperature. In confectionery, the pronounced chocolate scent makes it popular for home chocolate making and handcrafted candy bars, although deodorized cocoa butter is more common in large scale food production.

Cocoa butter melts within a range of approximately 32-35 degrees Celsius, so it should be introduced during the oil phase of a formulation while heating to 45-50 degrees together with other solid fats. Recommended usage rates in creams and balms range from 5 to 20 percent of the total formula weight, while in soap making it typically stays between 5 and 15 percent of the fat blend, since higher amounts can make the finished bar overly hard and brittle. In massage bars the concentration can be increased up to 30-40 percent to achieve a firm texture that slowly melts on contact with skin.

Cocoa butter pairs well with other base fats commonly used in formulation. When a neutral scent is preferred, formulators often turn to Cocoa Butter RBD, which offers similar structural benefits without the strong chocolate note. For added hardness and improved lather stability in soap recipes, Coconut Hydrogenated Oil is a common addition, while Unrefined Shea Butter is frequently blended in to boost softness and skin conditioning properties.

Store unrefined cocoa butter in a tightly sealed container, in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations, since the fat is sensitive to oxidation with prolonged exposure to air and heat. When stored properly, the product maintains its aroma and texture for an extended period, making it reliable for repeated small batch production.

✅Покупка подтверждена

Оплаченный заказ жду уже неделю, а мне только обещают, что вышлют номер декларации или свяжется менеджер. Но не было ни того, ни другого. Раньше такого бессовестного отношения с вашей стороны не было. Ощущение, будто я посылку не с Кременчуга жду, а с Китая...
