Natural Farms Raw Cocoa Butter 1 lb — Unrefined, Cold-Pressed for DIY Skin & Cooking

Natural Farms Raw Cocoa Butter is a 1 lb block of unrefined, undeodorized cocoa butter made for cooking, cosmetic DIY, and body care formulations.

Stored as a solid at room temperature, this cocoa butter keeps the full scent and texture of its natural origin because it is cold-pressed and not deodorized. Sold in a one-pound format, it is intended for makers and everyday users who want an unaltered butter for creams, balms, soaps, and culinary applications where pure cocoa aroma and consistency matter.

What makes this cocoa butter different from refined versions?

This product is unrefined and undeodorized, meaning it retains the natural aroma, color, and composition that refined butters often lose during processing. It is not treated with solvents or deodorizers, so you get the original cocoa scent and fatty profile.

• Cold-pressed to preserve natural compounds and scent
• No chemical refining, bleaching, or deodorizing
• Natural pale-yellow color and chocolate-like fragrance
• Solid at room temperature — melts at body warmth for easy blending

How can I use this raw cocoa butter in my skincare or DIY projects?

Raw cocoa butter is commonly used as a base ingredient in balms, body butters, lip salves, and soap formulations because of its stable texture and smooth feel. It blends well with carrier oils and waxes, making it simple to create custom textures and scents.

• Mix with oils (sweet almond, jojoba) for lotions and body butters
• Combine with beeswax and essential oils for lip balms or salves
• Use in cold- or hot-process soap recipes as a conditioning fat
• Melt and temper for small-batch chocolate or confection experiments (food-grade use)

How should I store and handle this 1 lb cocoa butter to keep it fresh?

Keep the block in a cool, dark place, sealed from air and moisture to preserve aroma and prevent oxidation. Because the butter is undeodorized, it will hold its natural fragrance longer when protected from heat and light.

• Store in an airtight container or resealable bag
• Room temperature is fine; refrigerate in hot climates to avoid melting
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong odors
• Use clean utensils to cut and measure to prevent contamination

What quantities and preparations work best for recipes or professional use?

A one-pound block gives ample material for regular personal use or small professional batches. You can shave, grate, or gently melt portions to measure by weight or volume depending on the recipe.

• Shave or grate for even melting and easier measuring
• Melt in a double boiler to avoid overheating and preserve scent
• Use digital scales for precise formulation in cosmetics or cooking
• Store leftovers in the original packaging or an airtight tub

If you want a pure, undeodorized cocoa butter with full natural aroma and a stable fat profile for crafting body care products, soaps, or culinary experiments, this 1 lb supply is a practical, economical choice.
