Overview

100% Pure Natural Unrefined Organic Cocoa Butter is a natural vegetable fat extracted from high-quality organic cocoa beans through low-temperature physical pressing, without refining, deodorization, or chemical modification. It fully retains the natural nutrients, color, and characteristic cocoa aroma of cocoa butter. The product appears as pale yellow to ivory solid fat chunks or granules, with a mild natural cocoa scent, containing no additives, preservatives, or artificial flavors. Cocoa butter is the natural fat component of cocoa beans, accounting for 54%–58% of the cocoa bean residue. Unlike refined cocoa butter, unrefined organic cocoa butter undergoes no high-temperature treatment, decolorization, or deodorization during production, thus fully retaining the natural vitamin E, antioxidants, phytosterols, and various beneficial fatty acids. This product has obtained USDA/EU Organic certification, is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and can be used both as a food-grade ingredient for chocolate, confectionery, and baking, and as a cosmetic-grade ingredient for skincare, hair care, and personal care products. The product complies with HALAL certification standards, making it a natural, pure, and sustainable multi-functional vegetable fat.

Cocoa butter is rich in saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, primarily composed of the following fatty acids: Fatty Acid

Vitamin E (Tocopherols) : Potent natural antioxidants that protect skin from free radical damage and delay aging
