Pure Organic Unrefined Cocoa Butter

Transform your skincare formulations with our cosmetic Pure Organic Unrefined Cocoa Butter. Sourced from the Theobroma cacao tree and grown in chemical-free environments, it is vegan-friendly and ethically produced.

Ingredients

Available raw, unrefined and organic, our pure cocoa butter for skin and hair is derived from the finest cocoa beans. It has a natural golden hue and a pleasant chocolate-like aroma.

It’s abundant in nutrients, from fatty acids (e.g., stearic, palmitic, oleic) and vitamin E to antioxidants such as polyphenols and phytochemicals. This rich composition gives it a dense, creamy texture that offers hydrating properties.

Due to the high levels of saturated fats and antioxidants, it resists oxidation and rancidity, making it perfect for cosmetic products with a long shelf life.

WHAT IS ORGANIC UNREFINED COCOA BUTTER?

Crafted from the finest cocoa beans grown in pristine, chemical-free environments, N-Essentials’ organic unrefined cocoa butter embodies purity and superior quality.

Our premium cocoa butter offers luxurious texture and delightful aroma cocoa butter while ensuring your exposure to synthetic chemicals is minimised. Its production supports sustainable farming practices, fostering soil health, biodiversity, and reducing environmental impact.

For those that don’t need the aroma, a deodorised version of cocoa butter is also available in various sizes. This version is simply pure raw cocoa butter that has gone through the deodorisation process to get rid of a lot of the rich chocolatey smell.

ORGANIC UNREFINED COCOA BUTTER USES AND BENEFITS

Our raw cacao butter adds a rich texture and natural chocolate aroma to skincare and cosmetic formulations without synthetic additives. Melting upon skin contact, it’s commonly included in products designed to improve skin feel and texture.

Use it in combination with other butters and oils for DIY skincare and haircare masks, soaps, massage bars, creams, lotions and balms. If you don’t want the pleasant chocolatey aroma, we also have a deodorised option.

There are a lot of properties about cocoa butter that make it a perfect base for several products. Here are some key properties of cocoa butter:

Physical State

At room temperature, cocoa butter is a solid that typically has a creamy white appearance. It has a melting point that is just below human body temperature, which allows it to melt smoothly upon contact with the skin, making it ideal for cosmetic and skincare applications.

Stability and Shelf Life

It is known for its high stability as a fat. This stability gives cocoa butter a long shelf life, making it a preferred ingredient in products that require a longer lifespan.

Texture and Absorption

Cocoa butter has a smooth, creamy texture that makes it an excellent base for cosmetics and skin care products. It appears to absorb well into the skin, providing a barrier that locks in moisture without leaving the skin feeling greasy.

Aroma

It has a pleasant, chocolatey aroma that is subtle yet distinct. This natural fragrance makes it a popular choice for adding a luxurious scent to cosmetics and skin care products without the need for additional fragrances.

Vegetarian and Vegan-Friendly

As a plant-based fat, cocoa butter is suitable for vegetarian and vegan formulations, appealing to a wide range of ethical preferences.
