Average Product Rating: 4.9 / 5 (Based on 46 Customer Reviews)
Cocoa Butter (also known as cacao butter) is the natural cream colored vegetable fat extracted from cocoa beans during the process of separating the powder and liquor from the bean. 70% of the world's production of Cocoa Butter is produced in the West African nations Nigeria, Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire.
Common Uses: Cocoa Butter has a soft, sweet cocoa aroma and is one of the most stable fats known. It has been used to heal and moisturize skin that has been exposed to the elements. It also helps reduce the formation of stretch marks during pregnancy by keeping the skin supple. It makes a wonderful ingredient in lotion bars, lip balms, body butters and soaps. Cocoa Butter is one of the most stable fats known and it contains natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity. This butter is very hard in consistency.
Recommended Usage:
• Lotions & Creams: 5 - 20 %
• Balms: 5 – 100 %
• Bar Soaps: 5 - 20 %
• Hair Conditioners: 1 – 5 %
When adding butters to creams and lotions, it might be necessary to gently warm them until the texture can be incorporated into the final product. Using a hand blender, create a vortex with your cream or lotion and drizzle your melted butter to fully incorporate. For addition in soaps, the general rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon per pound. As with most raw materials, results may vary, so we strongly recommend small, lab scale batches prior to any commercial manufacturing.
Shelf Life: This butter should be stored in a cool dark place and has a shelf-life of approximately 2 - 5 years when stored properly.

May I do another review, 2 years later ? This butter is the best of all. I often buy it and it is always fresh; the smell is so strongly chocolaty, it is a perfect marvel. I use it in a whipped body butter, in lotion bars, in soap, lip balms. Always good results. I just love it.

This cocoa butter is wonderful. It smells delicious and it is of high quality. Will definitely purchase again. The way it is in chunks is handy, as another reviewer mentioned.

I really like that this butter comes in chunks, it makes it so easy to work with. It doesn't smell like I thought it would, but I think that's because I've never used the natural butter (only the stuff from the store with added fragrances). It does smell exactly like a hunk of nice dark chocolate. It's really nice stuff.

Smells just like chocolat with some great nutty undertones. Love it. It comes in small chunks - makes measuring for CP soap easy. Great product for many applications - but I think I'll order some deodorized for use in CP soaps with lighter EOs as the cocoa smell tends to overpower.

Used in a warm hair mask with good results to fuller softer hair. As an added bonus the scent is a cross between coffee bean and dark dark chocolate. The smells lingered in my home and in my hair.

This is wonderful, quality cocoa butter. When I ordered it I expected it to smell like chocolate (I guess white chocolate) since I had never used pure cocoa butter before. Little did I know that it has a rich, deep dark cocoa scent. I took a piece of the pure butter and rubbed it in my palms to melt it, and it was wonderful! Quite a joy to use, just as it is! It will be fun to experament with. Plus the shipment was very fast. Thank you New Directions Aromatics for the great quality, and great priced cocoa butter, and for giving me the opportunity to get it.

I am not crazy about the natural chocolate smell on it own. I find my using a peppermint EO , it works the best, as other EOs or fragrant oils do not blend well with it.

Every time I open the container I have an uncontrollable craving for hot cocoa! The scent is just amazing. Love that the butter is broken into manageable easy to use pieces. Used in a natural body butter that smells deliciously like chocolate. As always NDA quality & price is unsurpassed

This butter smells fantastic I made lip balms and whipped body butters with this and I'm a newbie at making products for myself. I used cocoa butter as the only butter in the lip balm mixed with orange oil for a chocolate orange flavour, I use it at night and sleep with it on and my lips are so soft in the morning. Don't use the orange in sunlight though just for reference.

I love the smell of this butter - Just like raw chocolate. I've been making bath melts, and stretch mark treatments with this and it's wonderful. My friend who had twins didn't get a single stretch mark after using the treatment.

Year after year, I buy this butter and each time I open the jar and smell it, and take a chunk to use it "as is" on my skin, I find myself so lucky. Le beurre de cacao naturel de New Directions est de première qualité. Tel quel, il peut être utilise en massage, comme hydratant minute. La peau reste déclicieusement parfumée. Merci à New Directions... !

MMM..MMM..MMM. I had no idea. Ive just started making natural body products to compliment my line of washable diapers, organic bedding, etc. All that I can say is WOW. This stuff is so beautiful, that it has been better on on its own than in pretty much all of the recipes Ive found that contain cocoa butter as an ingredient. The smell is so pure that you want to lick your skin!!!!! New Directions are a fantastic Canadian company. Awesome prices, and very quick delivery. I am so happy to have found them... I just placed another order.!!!!

This cocoa butter is worth every penny! It absorbs surprisingly quickly and makes the skin feel like satin. The strong scent is one of the selling features for me. I absolutely love the smell of chocolate. Someone I know had very rough bumpy skin on their arms and after 3 applications the bumps were gone! Wonderful product!!

Cocoa butter is awesome in body butters, soaps, lip balms and other b&b products. I love using unrefined cocoa butter for that natural chocolatey scent!
Loyal Customer Since: 2005

The smell of chocolate is great, if you don't plan on scenting your blend with anything else. I found the smell very overpowering, even after leaving it open to the air for weeks. Blends well though, if you're only using a little bit the smell isn't bad. I had to adjust any recipes that included this product to include less of this so that the scents I was using weren't competing with the chocolate smell!
New Directions Aromatics Response:
Our Cocoa Butter is completely natural and unrefined. It has a rich, chocolately smell that is a reflection of the quality of the beans being used. In fact, we have many customers who use this natural emollient as a stand alone product.
To address the demand for Cocoa Butter without scent, we are awaiting our first shipment of deodorized Cocoa Butter.
