TIP

• Cocoa Butter is one of the best butters to use for balms, and salves, because of it's brittle texture, where it will help you to create the, ever popular, gelled texture. Try adding 10% Cocoa Butter, and 10% Cupuacu Butter, to your favorite oil blend and you'll have the perfect salve ... to take it up a notch and turn into an aphrodisiac try adding 0.7% of our AT524 Cocoa Therapy, and your salve will smell good enough to eat
• Cocoa Butter is also one of the best butters to use in massage because it melts right into the skin ... just hold one of the discs in your palm and use it for straight massage applications
  

NOTICE

All butters should be handled, and stored, with the same, preventative, care that you would use for your oils or any other precious material as they are just as fragile.

As we know that excessive, and repeated exposure to, heat is damaging to the quality, of the butters, we do not heat them to pour them into jars for shipping. All of our butters are scraped, shaved or scooped, as needed to package them into jars, without applying heat. Because of this practice butters will always be packed into a container that is, roughly twice the size, of the melted butter. This means that if you order 16oz (1lb) of shea butter it will be packed into a 32oz (2lb) container as it requires twice the space. We would rather spend a little more for the package, in this case, than jeopardize the integrity, and quality, of the butter. If you receive your butter in a warmed condition, due to transit, the container will appear to be less than full. This is normal, and expected, as they are packaged by weight, not by volume.
