Cocoa Butter - Deodorized Wafers Organic Fair Trade

After being extracted from the cacao bean, the cocoa butter is deodorized to reduce the strong natural chocolate aroma and carries an off-white to pale yellow hue. This results in an organic cocoa butter with a milder scent than natural cocoa butter. Deodorized cocoa butter still exhibits a chocolate aroma, but not as powerful and will have less of an impact on the formulated end product.

Fair Trade cocoa butter is known for its high oxidative stability as a result of it being naturally rich in antioxidants and vitamin E. With a typical melting point ranging from 88-95 degrees Fahrenheit, deodorized cocoa butter is a stiff solid at room temperature. From a cosmetic and skin care application standpoint, deodorized cocoa butter is used for its natural emollient properties and to bring stiffness to the end product. Because the material is deodorized there should be less interference with the desired fragrance of a finished creation. If the formulation calls for a refined, bleached and deodorized cocoa butter without any aroma at all, the white cocoa butter offered by Jedwards International is a great alternative. Your everyday purchase of Fair Trade Certified™ Deodorized Organic Cocoa Butter supports quality products that improve lives and protect the environment.
