Unrefined 500g

Escentia Unrefined Cocoa Butter is a rich, naturally aromatic plant butter sourced from the seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree. This generous 500g block provides a substantial supply for those who regularly incorporate cocoa butter into their skincare routines, DIY formulations, or body care preparations.

Unlike refined alternatives, this unrefined cocoa butter retains its characteristic chocolate aroma and its full spectrum of naturally occurring compounds, including fatty acids, polyphenols, and vitamins E and K. The minimal processing helps preserve the butter's inherent moisturising and skin-conditioning properties, making it a preferred choice for formulators and skincare enthusiasts who value ingredient integrity.

Cocoa butter is well regarded for its emollient qualities and its ability to form a protective barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture. Its firm texture at room temperature melts readily upon contact with warm skin, absorbing smoothly without leaving an overly greasy residue. It is commonly used to help improve the appearance of dry or rough skin, and is a popular ingredient in body butters, lip balms, massage bars, and homemade lotions.

The 500g size is particularly well suited for those who use cocoa butter frequently or in larger batches — whether crafting handmade skincare products, preparing therapeutic balms, or simply maintaining a consistent body care routine. It can be used on its own, melted and applied directly to the skin, or blended with carrier oils and essential oils for customised formulations.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness and extend shelf life.
