This raw, unrefined cocoa butter is fantastic if you enjoy making your own skincare products! I mixed it with shea butter to make a whipped body butter, and it turned out beautifully.I was a little concerned about ordering cocoa butter during the summer, but it arrived in perfect condition. It was double vacuum-sealed and packaged in an insulated mailer, so melting or leaking wasn’t an issue at all.Since it’s raw and unrefined, it has a rich, natural chocolate fragrance that is much stronger than refined cocoa butter. I personally love the scent, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re expecting a milder fragrance.It melts easily when you’re ready to use it and whipped into a smooth, creamy consistency without any problems. The finished body butter feels incredibly moisturizing, and it absorbs nicely into my skin without feeling overly greasy. Living in the desert, I like to keep my whipped body butter in the refrigerator during the summer so it stays firm, and it feels especially refreshing after spending time in the sun.If you’re interested in homemade cosmetics or want to start making your own lotions, body butters, or lip balms, this is an excellent cocoa butter to work with. I would definitely recommend it!

Very nice coco butter. It works nice in my butters

I bought this 35 oz block of ETHERVA Raw Cocoa Butter for homemade lotion recipes. This unrefined fat holds up well for moisturizing facial application and works fine for soap making without added fillers. The simple ingredients list includes pure cocoa seed butter with no sneaky chemical additives.The product carries a rich cacao fragrance rather than being fragrance-free, giving your body creams a soft chocolate scent naturally. While it arrives as a firm block, ease of use is straightforward since warming the block between your hands or melting it down softens the texture quickly.Etherva is a reputable brand that sources ethically from rural cooperatives in Kerala, India. At $1.49 per ounce, it offers fair value for money when compared to small retail tubs, though specialized bulk craft suppliers sometimes offer lower rates per pound for larger orders.

Overview: A 35oz bulk block of raw, unrefined cocoa butter sourced from Kerala, offering a natural moisturizer with good value for DIY skincare use.I've tried this cocoa butter a few times in some homemade lotion bars, and it seems to be decent quality. It's unrefined, so it carries a strong natural cacao scent rather than the neutral smell you get from processed versions, and it hasn't been bleached or deodorized, which some people prefer for skin use. It's temperature sensitive, so it softened up on a warm day on the counter and firmed back up once I put it in the fridge, which is expected for something this minimally processed rather than a flaw.It appears to be made of good quality raw ingredients, and it melted down smoothly in a double boiler without any grainy texture left behind. A little goes a long way, since it's fairly dense and rich, so this 35 ounce block should last through several batches of whatever you're making, whether that's lotion, lip balm, or just rubbing a small amount directly on dry skin 🧴 For the price, this is solid value considering how much product you're getting in bulk. My advice is to store it in a cool spot if you're not using it right away, since it softens fast once room temperature climbs 🌿

I think this is a very good quality cocoa butter. The large 35 oz block is great especially if you are into making your own lotions, body butters, and things like that. It arrived well packaged. It was vacuum sealed which is great because it really helps to keep it nice and fresh. The aroma is light and not as strong as you might be used to if you have never had experience with unrefined and non-deodorized coco butter. It is exactly as it should be with pure clean coco butter. It melts smoothly with gentle heat. I love blending it with essential oils. I've been using it to make homemade body butter. It leaves my skin feeling nourished and moisturized. It is priced at $65 but is on sale right now for $52 and I think that is a wonderful value.

I've never used raw cocoa butter, so I was pleasantly surprised when trying this. The stick comes vacuum-sealed within another bag, which I appreciate. The distributor did a great job ensuring that the block stayed intact during transit and was free of any external elements getting inside.Upon opening the bag I was surprised by the chocolate notes. Of course, the smell makes sense given that it's raw cocoa butter. But I was so used to using scented cocoa butters that the chocolate-y notes were a pleasant surprise to me. The block arrives as one solid piece, and depending on the temperature its subjected to it can either be solid and rigid or very loose and pliable.Although this cocoa butter can be used as is, it seems like a great foundation to add scents to and customize as you see fit. I doubt I'll go down this path with it, but I appreciate the versatility it offers. For me, I'll be content to just use it as it is and leave a nice, chocolate-y scent wherever I go.

I have not opened the package yet as I’m not ready to use it yet. However, there is absolutely no scent and I can smell scents through the vacuum seal. It melts easily when rubbed with my hand. Very good value for the quality. 100% Pure cocoa butter.

This is nice cocoa butter, especially if you are using it for DIY body butter, soap, or skincare projects. It has that real cocoa smell, so just know it is not deodorized or scent free. The texture is firm at room temperature but melts down easily when warmed up. It feels rich and moisturizing, and a little goes a long way once you actually get it worked in. My only thing is that it can be a little messy to portion out since it is such a solid block, but that is pretty normal for raw cocoa butter. Good product if you know what you are getting.

I needed a good moisturizer for my skin and decided to try this product. I hoped it would help with dry patches I had.This cocoa butter works really well for keeping my skin hydrated. It has a nice, natural scent that I enjoy. I used it on my hands and feet and noticed they felt softer after just a few uses. I like that it is unrefined and feels natural. It can melt easily when warmed up, which makes it easy to apply. I appreciate that it comes from a cooperative as it adds a nice touch of ethical sourcing.The only downside is its temperature sensitivity; it can be a bit tricky to use if the weather is too warm or cold. It sometimes takes extra effort to liquify before I can use it, which can be a hassle.Pros:- Hydrates skin well- Ethically sourced- Natural scentCons:- Temperature sensitive- Needs warming sometimes

I’m thrilled with this large brick of cacao butter. For starters, I love that it’s pure with no added ingredients and no additional processing, and I appreciate knowing where it is from. The scent is subtle yet pleasant, as I expect from a product like this one. The consistency definitely varies with temperature, and as mine was delivered to (and sit for hours in) a metal parcel box in the desert sun rather than my front porch part of it liquified and one end lost its nice tidy brick shape.The cacao butter is double-bagged which makes it easier to prevent making a mess when I take some out. The texture is a thick cream like a standard body butter. I can use some straight out of the package on my skin and it leaves my skin feeling moisturized without being oily. I can also easily transfer some to another container to mix with other ingredients and gift to a friend or place in my bathroom or on my nightstand. This product is very impressive and I recommend it.
