Few ingredients are as naturally rich and multi-functional as cocoa butter. From decadent chocolate to nourishing skincare — here is everything you need to know.

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.

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 and vegan, non-toxic, paraben-free and cruelty-free, and 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.
