Our cocoa butter is pure, food grade, prime pressed, golden. This product is sold by us for skin care applications. Cocoa butter is a fabulous addition for balms, lotions, creams, and soaps because of cocoa butter s softening and skin-healing properties. Cocoa butter has a beautiful light aroma of chocolate.
If you need to make a harder bar of soap, cocoa butter may be the answer for you. Most lip balms and massage butters require cocoa butter for firmness. It is the perfect butter for massaging daily into fast-growing pregnant bellies to try to prevent stretch marks from developing, it starts melting quickly upon skin contact.
In soapmaking, cocoa butter should be used along with more easily absorbed unsaturated oils such as olive, jojoba, castor, or avocado. A soap made with too high a percentage of cocoa butter will be hard and prone to cracking. Limit cocoa butter to approx. 15% of your total fats and oils. Use it to counterbalance the stickiness of certain fats such as shea butter. SAP value: 193.8. INCI: Theobroma Cacao.
NOTE posted 2/9/16: In all the years we’ve been offering butters, we’ve never, ever had a complaint from a customer indicating she was very displeased that her 5 lbs. bag of cocoa butter included what she described as chips and crumbs. We’re posting this information for all customers who’re considering purchase any of our harder, crumblier butters such as cocoa butter and kokum.
These butters come to us in 55 lb. blocks or other blocks of similar large sizes. Our clerks chip away at the blocks to obtain the various sizes in which the butters are sold. This is not an easy job and it’s very time consuming. We’re informing you in advance that any hard, crumbly butter you may order from us could arrive with chunks mixed in with much smaller beads or chips.
If this is not an option for you, then please consider ordering the largest block available which will ship to you exactly as received from the manufacturer, it’ll be a machine-extruded solid block from which you’ll have to cut the size you need. All sales are final, we will not accept returns of any butters which arrived at their destinations with chunks, beads and chips.

The smell is fantastic and rich! You can smell it through the bag even in the shipping box! Honestly, if it wasn't so hard I would use this butter without adding anything else. I use this with Shea and Coconut Butter and it makes the most luscious skin butter. You won't be disappointed with this purchase if you love chocolate.

This butter is just a delight. Very aromatic and reminiscent of days at the grocery store when your mother allowed you to get that one piece of chocolate. Lol. Seriously though, it smells fantastic. I use this butter in one of my face creams along with the shea butter from here, and it has gotten me through the winter months scale free!! No dragon face for me. Thanks Camden Grey!!!

I don't know why anyone would by the deodorized version of this butter because its rich, white chocolatey smell is wonderful. It's a must use for all of my soap recipes. It makes a nice hard bar by using only an ounce or two per pound, without becoming brittile. It's got a lower melting point than beeswax, making it easier to use at lower temperature when making cold process soap. I have used Canden-Grey's cocoa butter for over a decade and still find it of excellent quality. It also makes the best lip balm.

Thank you for carrying this and at such a great price.

This cocoa butter is the best and ohhh the aroma. So good for your skin too. I use it in most of my skin products.

That beautiful chocolate smell!!!! Feel so beautiful on my skin. A must need in the winter time. Even great on my lips and skin.
Mina Napolitano (McDonough, NY, US) | February 8th, 2012
The smell of gorgeous chocolate! I love to use this in the creams I make, it gives amazing richness and scent that lasts. Great for dry winter skin.

I thought I would try this and I'm sooooooo glad that I did it is heaven in a bag makes beautiful soap all you have to do is add a small chunk (to super fat). I also use it in my lotions and it just makes your skin glow! Also, the slight undertone of the heavenly chocolate scent blends well with everything I've mixed it with. By far 5 star product.

Ohh chocolate LOL. I love the smell of this Cocoa butter. I use it for all my whipped butters as well as in my wonderful oatmeal honey soap. Love it.
Erica Ballard (Marlton, NJ, US) | December 28th, 2011
I didn't expect it to smell so strongly of chocolate, but it's intoxicating. I've found it to be too hard to use on its own, but when dilluted slightly with almond or Coconut oil I found it made a great balm. The scent of it overpowers most of the fragrances I like to use, but I think it's lovely anyway.
Thanks for browsing thru this section which contains answers to many questions that are often asked of us. Here we explain where to locate CofA and SDS for a product, how we dispense and package our products, how products should be stored, basic terminology and the wait time for bulk products to ship from our warehouse. FYI: We're closed on Fridays.
Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). We publish on our website those documents for most of our products, some products don't provide either because the product doesn't require it. In this same section where you're at now, look to the tab to the left titled Documents, click on it and that's where you'll find either document for the product you seek. If you do not find the document you require, please email us at customerservice@camdengrey.com so we can research further.
BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer. Should a vendor inform us the ordered product will take longer than what’s mentioned on our website we’ll email the customer with the latest information.

After Covid, we reserve the right to use any packaging/dispensing container available to us and not mentioned above because it continues to be difficult many times to restock the same packaging container or material used in the past.
NOTE: An EO may safely remain inside an aluminum container for up to 3 months, but if storing longer than 3 months the oil should be transferred to amber glass. Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done. ALL PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED BY WEIGHT, THUS, SOME CONTAINERS MAY BE FILLED HIGHER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND VISCOSITY OF EACH PRODUCT.
Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets. Refrigerating butters could adversely affect the consistency of the butter, please join our Forum if you need to learn how to handle, work with and store products.
