Add richness & firmness to your handmade skincare products with cosmetic-grade Cocoa Butter. This solid, plant derived fat comes from cocoa beans & is commonly used in body butters, balms, creams, lotions and soaps.
Cocoa butter helps soften skin and reduce moisture loss. In cosmetic formulations, it adds body and a rich feel. Blend it with suitable liquid oils to make firm balms or softer, more spreadable body butters.
Benefits & Uses:
- Body butters: Adds richness and helps soften dry feeling skin.
- Balms & lotion bars: Adds firmness and helps the product hold its shape.
- Creams & lotions: Enriches the oil phase for a fuller texture.
- Bar soaps: Can be included in the oil blend of a properly calculated soap recipe.
- Massage bars: Blends with suitable oils and waxes to create solid bars.
How to Use: Weigh the amount required by your recipe. Gently melt using controlled, indirect heat, then mix with the other oil-phase ingredients. Avoid overheating.
Cocoa butter does not dissolve in water. Creams & lotions containing water need a suitable emulsifier & preservative system. The amount of cocoa butter to use depends on your formula and the firmness you want. Test a small batch first.
