Cocoa Butter (unrefined) Theobroma Cacao

This

cocoa butter is pure, prime-pressed and food grade. Pressed cocoa butter is the

fat which is obtained by hydraulic pressing of cocoa nib or cocoa mass (cocoa

liquor) obtained from cocoa beans. It could be filtered or centrifuged. This is

an all natural process and no solvents are used. It's better quality than

regular cocoa butter. This is fabulous for balms, lotions, creams, and soaps

because of cocoa butter’s softening and skin-healing properties. This

un-deodorized cocoa butter has a beautiful aroma of chocolate. If you need to

make a harder bar of soap, cocoa butter may be the answer for you. Most lip

balms and massage butters require cocoa butter for firmness. It’s the

perfect oil for massaging daily into fast-growing pregnant bellies to prevent

stretch marks from developing. In soapmaking, cocoa butter should be used along

with more easily absorbed unsaturated oils such as olive, jojoba, castor, or

avocado. A soap made with too high a percentage of cocoa butter will be hard

and prone to cracking. Limit cocoa butter to around 15% of your total fats and

oils. Use it to counterbalance the stickiness of certain fats such as shea

butter. SAP value: 193.8.

 

Shea Butter (unrefined) Butyrospermum parkii

Shea

butter is also called African Karité butter. This butter is expressed from the

pits of the fruit of the African butter tree. It is smooth, creamy and a beige

color. Our shea butter is cold expeller pressed. It is not solvent extracted,

but mechanically extracted. There are no impurities whatsoever. Shea is

extremely moisturizing and gentle to the skin. In soaps, it gives a very

luxurious feel to the finished product. It can also be added to creams and

lotions or used alone for massage or skin cream. Shea butter is remarkably high

in unsaponifiables, up to 11%, making it a superfatting material for

soapmaking. To use in soapmaking (2-5% of your total fats and oils) melt the

shea butter with the other solid fat. To superfat with shea butter add 1-2/3

tablespoons per 5 pounds of soap, melted and cooled to approximately 75°F

(24°C) just before adding the scent. SAP value: 180.0.
