Cacao Butter

Cacao butter, also known as cocoa butter, is a creamy, pale-yellow fat extracted from cacao beans. It is a stable and highly concentrated natural fat that solidifies at room temperature and melts beautifully at body temperature. Cacao butter is a vital ingredient in chocolate making, providing it with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, and is also extensively used in cosmetic formulations like lotions and balms due to its moisturizing properties.

The scent profile of cacao butter is subtly chocolatey, carrying mild, sweet notes that evoke the essence of cocoa. It does not have the strong, roasted aroma typical of dark chocolate because it lacks the cocoa solids. Instead, its fragrance is milder and more delicate, generally perceived as comforting and soothing. Its faint chocolate aroma makes cacao butter an enticing addition to cosmetic products, not just for its skin benefits but also for its gentle, pleasant scent.
