Description
Deodorized Cocoa Butter is a premium-quality fat extracted from cocoa beans during the chocolate-making process.
Through a steam deodorization method, the typical chocolate aroma and flavor are removed,
resulting in a neutral-smelling butter suitable for both cosmetic formulations and food manufacturing where scent neutrality is required.
It retains all of its natural moisturizing and emollient properties and is a
non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free ingredient that is solid at room temperature
and melts upon contact with skin or heat.
