Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is a type of fat that comes from cocoa beans.Then they’re roasted, stripped, and pressed to separate out the fat—the cocoa butter. The remnants are then processed into cocoa powder. Cocoa has been used in medicine for around 3,000 years.
Cocoa Butter
Cocoa Butter is a pale-yellow, solid fat extracted from the roasted beans of Theobroma cacao, sourced from sustainable plantations in West Africa and Central America. Renowned for its rich emollient properties, it is composed primarily of triglycerides, stearic, palmitic, and oleic acids, providing excellent skin‑moisturizing, barrier‑repair, and melting‑point stability. With a creamy, subtle chocolate aroma and smooth texture, Cocoa Butter is indispensable across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Whether as a base for chocolate confections, a moisturizing agent in lotions, or a stabilizer in pharmaceutical suppositories, it blends ancient tradition with modern manufacturing. Choose Elite Biotech for guaranteed purity, competitive pricing, and 100% traceable, third‑party–tested Cocoa Butter.
Uses of Cocoa Butter
Pharmaceutical Industry
In pharmaceutical formulations, particularly suppositories and topical medicated bases, Cocoa Butter’s precise melting profile ensures reliable drug release at body temperature. Its biocompatibility, non‑irritant nature, and ability to act as a controlled‑release matrix make it a preferred excipient in rectal and vaginal delivery systems
Food & Beverage Industry
As the primary fat in premium chocolate and confectionery products, Cocoa Butter delivers a smooth mouthfeel, sharp melting behavior, and glossy finish. Its high oxidative stability extends shelf life, while its neutral flavor profile allows for versatile use in fillings, coatings, and specialty bakery applications.
Cosmetic & Personal Care Industry
As the primary fat in premium chocolate and confectionery products, Cocoa Butter delivers a smooth mouthfeel, sharp melting behavior, and glossy finish. Its high oxidative stability extends shelf life, while its neutral flavor profile allows for versatile use in fillings, coatings, and specialty bakery applications.
Aromatherapy & Wellness Industry
Blended into massage bars, body butters, and aromatherapy balms, Cocoa Butter’s velvety texture and faint chocolate scent enhance sensory experiences. Its occlusive properties lock in moisture, supporting skin softness, while its stable, melt‑on‑contact nature makes it ideal for therapeutic touch treatments.
Agrochemical Industry
Utilized as a carrier oil in botanical pesticide emulsions, Cocoa Butter aids in uniform dispersion of active ingredients. Its natural fatty acid profile supports controlled adhesion to plant surfaces, improving efficacy of biopesticides and botanical extracts in sustainable agriculture.
Perfumery & Fragrance Industry
In solid perfume sticks and fragrance balms, Cocoa Butter serves as an excellent fixative and carrier, providing a stable, creamy base that melts on skin contact. Its subtle chocolate nuance complements oriental and gourmand accords, offering perfumers a unique textural and olfactory enhancer.
