Healthy Goal Organic Cocoa Butter 200g

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.
