INCI Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter
Overview

What it is
Cocoa Butter is pressed from cacao seeds, the same source as chocolate. It’s naturally firm at room temperature and carries an unmistakable warm, chocolate-like aroma.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Cacao trees grow in tropical regions, particularly across West Africa and South America. The seeds are pressed to release the butter.
