Introduction
Few ingredients are as naturally rich and multi-functional as cocoa butter. Whether you’re crafting decadent chocolate, formulating vegan skincare, or blending a nourishing lip balm, pure cocoa butter is a timeless staple.
At Nature Commodities, our Ivory Coast cocoa butter is cold-pressed from high-quality cocoa beans. It’s food-grade, unrefined, and ethically sourced from farming cooperatives committed to quality and sustainability.
In this blog, we’ll explore the full range of cocoa butter’s benefits — from your kitchen to your skincare routine.
What Is Cocoa Butter?
Cocoa butter is the natural fat extracted from cocoa beans during the chocolate-making process. It has a creamy texture, a subtle cocoa aroma, and a melting point close to human body temperature, which makes it ideal for both culinary and cosmetic use.
Our cocoa butter is:
100% Pure
Plant-based & Vegan
Non-toxic, Paraben-free, and Cruelty-free
Available in bulk for commercial or personal use
In Chocolate & Confectionery
Cocoa butter is a key ingredient in chocolate — responsible for its silky texture, melt-in-the-mouth feel, and shiny finish after tempering.
Culinary Uses:
Chocolate making (bean to bar, couverture, ganache)
Vegan desserts and raw treats
Smoothies and fat bombs in keto/paleo diets
Luxury baking where a rich, smooth fat is preferred
It adds richness, structure, and that unmistakable chocolate snap when cooled correctly.
In Skincare & Wellness
Beyond the kitchen, cocoa butter shines as a natural moisturiser. It’s packed with fatty acids and antioxidants that support skin health.
Skincare Uses:
Body butters and creams
Lip balms and healing salves
Stretch mark reduction
Natural hair care and scalp moisturisers
DIY soap making and solid lotion bars
Its anti-inflammatory and deeply hydrating properties make it ideal for sensitive, dry, or ageing skin — and because it’s all-natural, it’s safe for kids and pets too.
