Healthy Goal Organic Cocoa Butter

Certified organic cocoa butter, pressed from the beans of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). It arrives as a hard, pale-gold butter that snaps rather than scoops, carrying the warm chocolate aroma cocoa butter is known for. It melts at close to body temperature, so it goes from brittle solid to smooth oil on contact with skin.

One ingredient, nothing blended in — no oils, waxes, fragrance or preservatives.

The 200g size suits first projects and recipe testing — enough for a batch of balms, a couple of jars of whipped body butter, or a trial soap batch before you scale up. How it behaves

Cocoa butter is the hardest of the common cosmetic butters, which is exactly why soap and balm makers reach for it: a small percentage firms up a recipe that would otherwise stay soft. Its natural chocolate scent carries through into the finished product, so it pairs well with vanilla, coffee, orange and spice, and competes with delicate florals. What makers use it for

- Cold process soap, where it adds hardness and a lasting bar
- Lotion bars and massage bars that need to hold their shape
- Lip balms and solid salves
- Whipped body butters, usually blended with a softer oil
- Stretch mark and belly balms during pregnancy Working with it

Melt gently over low heat or in a double boiler, then cool quickly once melted — overheating and slow cooling is what turns a butter grainy. Many cold process soap recipes use it at around 5–15% of the oil weight, while whipped body butters often run much higher. Why choose this one

- Certified organic cocoa butter — a single ingredient
- Hard and brittle at room temperature, melts on skin contact
- Natural chocolate aroma, not masked with additives
- No added oils, waxes, fragrance, colour or preservatives
- Supplied in Australia Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight with the container sealed. Both butters soften in warm weather; if one melts and resets it is still perfectly usable, though the texture may turn grainy. Before you start

Intended as a cosmetic and soap-making ingredient. Patch test before wider use, as with any new skincare ingredient.
