Cocoa Butter (Deodourized)

Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter (deodourised) is a rich, plant-based butter that delivers deep moisturisation, smooth texture, and stable formulation performance without a strong cocoa scent.

INCI: Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter

Description

Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter (deodourised) is a natural vegetable fat extracted from cocoa beans, refined to remove its characteristic chocolate aroma. This process results in a neutral-smelling butter while retaining its excellent emollient and structuring properties. Widely used in skincare and cosmetic formulations, it provides intensive hydration, improves product stability, and creates a protective barrier on the skin. Its firm texture and high melting point make it ideal for balms, body butters, and solid formulations.
