Product Introduction

Cocoa seed butter, derived from the seeds of the cacao tree, is a popular ingredient in the cosmetic industry. Known for its moisturizing properties, it enhances the texture and stability of various skincare formulations. Rich in fatty acids, cocoa seed butter is known to nourish and protect the skin, making it a favored choice among formulators.

Production Process

The production of cocoa seed butter begins with the harvesting of cocoa pods, which are opened to extract the cacao seeds. These seeds undergo fermentation, drying, and roasting to develop their characteristic flavor and properties. The roasted seeds are then pressed to separate the butter from the cocoa solids. The resulting cocoa seed butter is refined to remove impurities, resulting in a high-quality product suitable for cosmetic use.
