Cocoa Butter (also known as cacao butter) is a natural, cream colored vegetable fat extracted from cocoa beans during the process of separating the powder and liquor from the bean. Our Cocoa Butter is carefully processed to maintain its purity and natural properties.
Common Uses: Cocoa Butter generally has a soft, sweet cocoa aroma and it is one of the most stable fats known. It has been used to moisturize skin that has been exposed to the elements, and to keep skin supple. It makes a wonderful ingredient in lotion bars, lip balms, body butters, and soaps. Cocoa Butter contains natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity. This butter is crude, so very hard in consistency, and its natural range may comprise a light to darker colour, and a medium to stronger scent like a strong bitter chocolate.
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.
Caution: Overheating this product will impact its fragrance. Please melt at as low a heat as possible while stirring gently, and use as soon as it is melted.
Shelf Life: This butter should be stored in a cool dark place and has a shelf-life of 1 year when stored properly.

Rating: I can't say enough good things about this cocoa butter. I've used it in soaps as well as lotion bars, body whips and lip balms. I really enjoy the natural scent of it. It's one of the harder butters but melts readily when being added to different batches. I will absolutely be ordering more!
By:Laura, Birtle, Manitoba Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Jul-2015
Rating: I used this to make a night repair cream. It was easy to use and I like the smell.
Rating: I can't say enough about this great product at an excellent price point. I use this cocoa butter offering from NDA in lotion blends with other oils. It adds to the richness and firmness of any concoction while bringing other great and useful qualities. I have to use sparingly as it can tend to block my pores so I mix with more astringent oils.

Rating: I was not expecting much when I bought this Cocoa Butter because I had used another Cocoa Butter from the tropics and the scent was very very faint. I thought that was how Cocoa Butter smelled.....I kept wondering what everyone else was talking about when they mentioned that "chocolatey" scent. But when I first opened this jar of Cocoa Butter from ND, someone should have had a camera on me. I was so blown away by this rich "chocolatey" scent - now I knew what everyone was talking about. I couldn't stop smelling it and I made everyone in my family smell it. I still take huge whiffs everytime I open the jar. I love it! This is how I know I'm getting a high quality product. My trust in this company grew more after using this awesome butter. It smells delicious in my body butter. Thank you ND, for providing quality products.
Rating: I LOVE how chocolaty this smells. I find myself constantly opening the tub of it just to take a whiff. lol
Aside from the luxurious feel this butter adds to any creation, I like to use it in my chocolate based soaps and lip balms...you just want to eat them.
I do wish, however that there was an Organic Crude version as well; but I will continue to buy for sure.

By:Melanie, St-Léonard, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 01-Dec-2009
Rating: Absolutely amazing cocoa butter. Best I have used to date. I own a soap business and use this in my soaps, lotions, body butters and lip balms. Love the chocolate smell it adds to the body butters, lotions and lip balms, and my customers love it as well. New directions aromatics is the only place I buy my butters and oils from. Great quality that can not be beat!!!
Rating: I have been using this cocoa butter for the last 6 months and the quality has been consistently amazing and the mild chocolate scent enriches all my butters.
Rating: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PRODUCT! It smells divine and works wonder on my skin. I mixed it with some coconut oil and jojoba oil as well and put them into smaller tubs, so that it is easier to apply to my skin right after I shower. it has the most amazing smell and absolutely soaked right into my skin.
Prices are fantastic! So I buy them by the tub in kg and use it almost all year round!!!
Rating: The best cocoa butter I've purchased, and the cheapest, hands down. Cocoa butter goes along way in body butter formulas and is just a purely excellent product for skin and for so many skin conditions. It would surprise you how many scents can be enhanced by it's natural chocolatey scent of the pure/crude compared to refined - love to use it with oranges and mints are just a couple.
By:Joanne, Edmonton, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 01-Mar-2013
Rating: Unbelievably awesome! I still can't get over the delightful chocolaty scent every time I open the container. Easy to work with and my customers are delighted with the lotion bars I make with it.

Rating: It has a sweet CHOCOLATE smell. It smells EXACTLY like chocolate. It dissolves well and isn't as greasy as other butters I have tried. Get the deodorized version if you plan to mix with other essential oils. If you are going for a warm comfort smell, mix with vanilla.
Good product
Rating: Has a really nice cocoa smell, my 3year old son asked if he could have a piece!!
Melts easily and blends good with other butters and oils in CP
Rating: Smelliest cocoa butter I have found it has a strong chocolate aroma smells just like semisweet chocolate chips. Going to use in my lip balms and creams for a nice chocolate scent.

Rating: Just got my first batch of this - it is a lovely hard butter. The smell is strong dark chocolate, which is excellent when used at 5-20% blended with other carrier oils / butters.
By:Stephanie, Lethbridge, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Sep-2015
Rating: The smell is just fantastic!! Price point 10/10 and quality is insane!
Rating: This cocoa butter has an incredible scent. I couldn't believe it! I used it at 15% in my CP soap. On the rack the cocoa scent is very faint, but when you get it in the shower you can really smell it.
Love Love LOVE this product! Thanks NDA!!!

Date: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Jul-2013
Rating: It's smells so divine! I find cocoa butter to be a hit or miss with the scent and this one is definitely a HIT. I love the chocolately smell. It melts extremely well and combines beautifully with other products. I've used it with a few recipes and each one has worked out wonderfully. I only wish that this came in an organic option, but until then, I'll be sticking to this one. Great job NDA! :)
Rating: Love the chocolatey scent of this crude butter! I understand that deodorized is sometimes desired but I tend to use this butter in formulations that allow the natural scent to come through.

Rating: I've just received this cocoa butter and it's lovely. Smells nice and chocolaty :)
By:Eva, London, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 27-Mar-2009
Rating: I LOVE this cocoa butter! I use it in my body balms and lip balms and my customers always comment on how amazingly chocolatey they smell. If you're looking for the strong scent this one is for you, if not then you might want to avoid it!
Rating: The smell is absolutely incredible, and strong. I can't stop smelling it. I could have never imagined it could smell this much like chocolate..... and not just any chocolate scent..... the richest, purest, sweetest chocolate you can imagine. Wish it was a bit cheaper but I'm sold!
By:Jaclyn, Calgary, Alberta
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Jul-2013
Rating: As always, fantastic. It's very hard so I won't be using it from the container, but it will be great blended down into a lotion or a lip balm.
As a forewarning to any potential buyers though, if you DO NOT like the smell of coffee/dark chocolate this is not the product for you. My house smells amazing!

Rating: Well...the batch that i got smelled so strong like burnt coffee. Customer service was good at tracking batch and noting that i was in fact correct. But too much hassle to switch it for a new batch cause i would have to wait for new shipment. Regardless of odor product was naturally good.
Rating: My fave cocoa butter! LOVE the smell. Sometimes I just stand in my work place smelling out of the container mmmm. Love how the cocoa scent comes out in everything I make with it. Awesome results on my skin to (I have super dry/sensitive skin). Great price to. I have been purchasing this cocoa butter from NDA for as long as I can remember.

Rating: This product smells solo amazing you wanna eat it.
I'm using this for my body butters and i probably wont need any frag oil.
Rating: Love this butter, it smells amazing just like chocolate. I melt it together with olive oil and coconut butter for soap making, can't wait to try it!!
Rating: Perfet for my lip butters and massage bars. The container just smells like pure chocolate using it is such a treat :)

By:Jackie, Golden, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-May-2013

Date: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Sep-2013
Rating: I LOVE this butter. As soon as I opened the container I thought I died and went to come kind of cholatey heaven! My daughter thinks her new body butter smells like "cupcakes" and a pregnant friend couldn't get enough of the richness of this product. My products do 't use perfume and how fantastic is it to have this rich of a scent that is all natural? Chocoholics will LOVE this!
Rating: I absolutely love this butter and the smell that comes with it! It smells divine and delicious! Makes me want to eat it. It works beautifully in body butters without any added scents because it's so powerful on its own. Smells like lovely chocolate, and it's the best thing to use for pregnant women who can't use essential oils as it still smells amazing on its own.
By:Marta, Ajax, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 22-Apr-2012
Rating: I like this butter, except for the smell. Like the other customers I will purchase the deodorized version next time. The butter is lovely though, sinks through skin, not oily and great for my hair.
Rating: Love the butter - NOT the scent. Ew! NO matter what I put in it, the chocolate seems to seep through. It's worse when I use EOs that go with coocoa (vanilla, for one) - like they ENHANCE the smell! Next time I will purchse unscented.
By:Megan, Calgary, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Aug-2012
Rating: This butter is so rich and luxurious! I love it in my body butter blends and all of my customers love the light scent!
By:Nadia, Kitchener, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 18-Feb-2012
Rating: This made a great whipped body butter, smooth and non greasy. Easily absorbs into the skin!

By:Maureen, Edmonton, Alberta
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 02-Feb-2013
Rating: Definitely smells like chocolate! I'm finding it difficult to find scents that compliment it. I soppose peppermint would work well but I'm not a fan of peppermint. I used vanilla and my body butter does smell like a chocolate chip cookie. It works fabulous in my body butters and haven't had any issues working with it. I do like that it is broken into clumps. Next time I think I will try the refined, only because I want to play with different scents.
By:Marta, Ajax, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 22-Apr-2012
Rating: Recently bought this butter and it made my creams buttery soft, easy to manipulate. This is my first butter purchase but I'd buy this one again!
Rating: This is the best cocoa butter I've ever tried! The texture is smooth and slippery without being too greasy, and the smell is divine. I'll never buy refined or deodorized cocoa butter again!
