How Is Cocoa Butter Different From Normal Butter?

Cocoa butter, derived from the cacao bean, is a vegetable fat widely used in skincare products. Unlike regular dairy butter, which is made from the fat of milk, cocoa butter is not suitable for ingesting. Cocoa butter can only be used for topical application. 

In contrast, normal butter is an animal-derived fat obtained from dairy milk, rich in saturated fats along with water, lactose, and milk proteins. It's known for its creamy texture and is a staple in cooking and baking for its flavour-enhancing properties. While cocoa butter finds extensive use in skincare and cosmetics due to its pleasant scent, normal butter is predominantly used in culinary contexts for its rich flavour and ability to add richness to dishes.

Is Cocoa Butter Vegan?

Cocoa butter is a plant-based fat extracted from the cocoa bean, making it vegan and free from dairy, lactose, and milk proteins. It is primarily composed of saturated and monounsaturated fats, including oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids, and is celebrated for its stable properties and rich, chocolatey aroma.
