5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff is weird but... January 24, 2009

By Samus

Natural cocoa butter is weird. Every time I get a jar its hard as a rock, some ugly grey color and smells funny. It does not want to melt. But I get it all out of the jar (generally with a screwdriver, I'm a guy, my less brutal female friend puts hers in a hot water bath to loosen it) put it in a double boiler and heat it till its completely melted and clear. Then I pour it in a pan, and, when its set up, prise it out and break it into small pieces. These shards smell more like white chocolate and melt quicky at body temprature. My friend pours her melted cocoa butter into small candy molds (the flexable silicon ones!SiliconeZone Flower Butter Mold, Orange ). She also adds half a vanilla bean when she melts the stuff. Then it smells totally like white chocolate! I do not know why natural cocoa butter needs to be remelted before it becomes useful. Just don't judge it by the way it is in the jar-after being melted and cooled, its a different product entirely

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, but a lot of work November 25, 2008

By T. Jefferson

Size Name:6.5 oz

I bought this for my daughter and son, both of whom are under 3 and have extremely dry skin. My daughter also suffers from excema. She can't use anything with artifical colors or fragrances, so I thought this would be perfect. It helps tremendously with their skin issues, but it isn't as easy as simply scooping some out and using it. You have to warm it up, either in a microwave safe dish or by placing the container in some warm water. It is seriously hard when you get it. Like chocolate. But you will smell yummy after using it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product and yes, it's suppose to be hard.... February 28, 2011

I find it interesting that people would buy something without knowing what it is. I read that a lot of people were either confused or frustrated about their cocoa butter being hard. Pure cocoa butter is suppose to be hard, it's not like those cocoa butter creams you buy in the store because this is the pure ingredient not mixed with anything else. That being said, I really love this stuff! I found that the fastest and easiet way to get it out of the jar is to simply take either a butter knife or spoon and just sort of chip or scrape some chunks and shavings out a little at a time.

I make my own lotions and bath products, so I'll already have the cocoa butter premixed with something else to make it more 'manageable' as a hand cream before I head out. I take the cocoa butter pieces, add something like shea butter or an oil(coconut, mineral, EV olive, etc.), put them all in a glass and melt the entire mixture in the microwave. I than pour the mixture into a seperate travel size container, let it sit for about 30 minutes and voila! A very yummy smelling and heavenly hand and body cream! I take the leftover 'crumbs' still stuck to my hands after chipping the stuff out and just rub them in. I would definitely recommend this to anyone I know, just remember that it's going to be hard :)
