Our premium Cocoa Butter wafers are carefully sourced from the lush, tropical regions of Côte d'Ivoire, a leading producer of high-quality cacao. These wafers are certified organic by USDA-NOP, ensuring they meet strict standards for sustainable and chemical-free cultivation. They also carry the prestigious Fair Trade certification, which supports ethical farming practices and fair wages for farmers, and are certified Kosher, making them suitable for a variety of dietary needs.
The wafers are derived from prime-pressed cacao beans, which produce a rich and inviting chocolate aroma, enhancing their appeal and aroma profile in formulations. Their excellent shelf life of at least three years makes them a reliable ingredient for long-term storage. For optimal freshness, store the wafers in an airtight container at 15°C (60°F).
One of the key advantages of our Cocoa Butter wafers is their convenience. Unlike traditional solid blocks, these wafers are easy to blend into recipes, streamlining the formulation process and reducing mess.
Cocoa Butter is a luxurious fat rich in triglycerides, known for its exceptional emollient properties. It deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin, making it ideal for addressing dry, cracked skin and promoting softness and elasticity. It is especially beneficial for expectant mothers, helping to minimize the appearance of stretch marks and support skin resilience.
Cocoa Butter's stability and structural properties make it a versatile ingredient in various cosmetic and personal care products. It is frequently employed as a key ingredient in the formulation of various personal care and cosmetic products, including handcrafted soothing massage body bars, nourishing lip balms designed to hydrate and protect the lips, rich and emollient body butters that offer deep moisture, artisanal soaps crafted with natural ingredients for gentle cleansing, and specialized formulations targeted at pregnant women to support their unique skincare needs.
Currently, due to supply chain disruptions, we are temporarily packaging our Cocoa Butter wafers in resealable bags instead of our usual tamper-evident sealed tubs. These resealable bags facilitate easier transportation and handling while preserving the quality and integrity of this premium ingredient.
