Cocoa Butter (Wafers) – Deodorized, Fair Trade Organic

Description

Cocoa Butter (Wafers) – Deodorized is a Fair Trade certified, organic vegetable butter derived from the seeds of Theobroma cacao. Through controlled deodorization, the intensity of its natural chocolate aroma is significantly reduced—resulting in a much more subtle, softer scent while still retaining its characteristic cocoa profile.

This refined butter maintains its naturally high saturated fatty acid composition, delivering excellent oxidative stability and a rich, protective skin feel. In wafer form, it allows for precise handling, efficient melting, and ease of use in both small-batch and scaled production.

Cocoa butter is highly valued in cosmetic formulation for its ability to form an occlusive barrier on the skin, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) while supporting barrier repair and long-lasting hydration. Its smooth, dense structure makes it particularly well-suited for anhydrous systems and emulsions requiring body and stability.
