Raw Cocoa Butter

What it is

Skin Gourmet Raw Cocoa Butter is exactly what it says: 100% pure, unrefined cocoa butter, absolutely nothing else added. It’s a multi-use staple that works as a daily moisturizer for face, body, and hair, and yes, it’s edible too, a great vegan substitute for butter or cooking oil.

Raw means unrefined, and the good stuff is still intact.

Why it works (the “how,” not hype)

For skin: Cocoa butter is rich in fatty acids that support the skin barrier and help lock in moisture. That’s why it’s so good for dryness, rough patches, and that tight, stretched feeling. With consistent use, it supports a smoother look and a more even-looking tone because well-moisturized skin simply looks better.

For comfort: It’s especially loved on areas that get stressed easily, elbows, knees, heels, hands, and anywhere that needs serious softness.

For hair: It can be used in small amounts to seal in moisture on ends, add shine, and soften the feel of dry hair.

As food: Because it’s pure cocoa butter, it’s an easy swap for butter or cooking oil when you want a light cocoa aroma and a richer mouthfeel in baking or cooking.

How it can be for all skin types, honestly

All skin types can use it; you just adjust the amount. Dry skin can apply more. Oily and combination skin may prefer it on targeted areas or at night.

How it’s made

Handmade in Ghana. Vegan, gluten free, cruelty free, sustainably sourced, and made with nothing extra.

Tip

Best when used on damp or slightly wet skin.

Cocoa butter is a real butter, so it changes with temperature. In cooler weather it can feel very firm, scoop a little and warm it between your palms before applying. In hot weather it may soften or melt, if it does, stick it in the fridge to reset. If you live in a colder country, keeping it in a slightly warmer spot like a bathroom or kitchen helps it stay easy to use.

Chale, this is the OG butter, skin and kitchen both approve.
