Cocoa butter substitutes (CBS) are vegetable fats used to replace cocoa butter in chocolate and confectionery products. They are typically made from lauric acid oils like coconut or palm kernel oil. A key specification for CBS is that they are not compatible with cocoa butter and are used to completely replace it. Specifics include a slip melting point of 33-35�°C, a maximum iodine value of 1.0, and a maximum free fatty acid content (as lauric acid) of 0.1%.
Physical and Chemical Properties:
Slip Melting Point: The range is typically 33-35�°C.
Iodine Value: A maximum of 1.0 (Wijs) is generally specified.
Free Fatty Acid (FFA): Maximum of 0.1% (as lauric acid).
Moisture and Impurities: A maximum of 0.1%.
Saponification Value: Typically between 240 and 260.
Color: Can be white or pale yellow.
Appearance: Should be white or pale yellow with a bland flavor and no odor.
Solid Fat Content: While not a universal specification, some patents mention solid fat content at various temperatures, for example, 35-60% at 10�°C, according to WO2013132284A1.
What Is Cocoa Butter?
Organic cocoa butter is pressed from cocoa beans and is yellow in colour. It is a solid and hard oil at room temperature, but can be melted at 40C.
Cocoa butter, also called Theobroma oil, is a pale-yellow, edible vegetable fat extracted from the cocoa bean. It contains a high proportion of saturated fats, derived from stearic and palmitic acids, and has a cocoa flavour and scent.
Natural cocoa butter retains the characteristic smell of cocoa beans and adds a distinct chocolate taste and aroma to confectionery or other products. It has nutritious properties useful in both the food and cosmetic industries.
Cocoa butter is known as one of the most stable and highly-concentrated natural fats. It is used to add flavour, scent and smoothness to finished chocolate, cosmetics, tanning oils, soaps, lip balm and a multitude of topical creams and lotions.
Our cacao butter is unrefined and organic so it has a strong, natural chocolate scent and it hasnâ??t been subjected to any harsh chemical processes or been deodorised. Pure cocoa butter can be used for different purposes including skincare, hair and body care. The purest butter is what you need to put on stretchmarks and other pregnancy-related marks to soothe sores and hydrate dry, dull skin. The two common skin conditions psoriasis and eczema can make skin dry. The lipids in Raw Cocoa Butter also help the skin form a barrier that keeps moisture in and keeps it from drying out. It also helps to prevent the sunâ??s UV rays damage to the skin, reduce skin aging, and improve skin quality. Scars, wrinkles, and other skin blemishes can all be removed using cocoa butter
The INCI name of cacao butter is theobroma cacao seed butter.
Benefits of Cocoa Butter
Unrefined cocoa butter is often used for its moisturising properties, as it is high in fatty acids which can help add hydration. It is believed to help prevent and reduce stretch marks, but there is no scientific evidence to support this.
It is also often used for the lips and is a popular ingredient in lip balms. Pure organic cacao butter is rich in fatty acids which helps create a protective barrier and retain moisture.
How to Use It
Organic cocoa butter can be added to cosmetic recipes for added benefits, especially on dry areas to help hydrate and nourish it. It can be used on the face too, but can clog pores easily. It is popularly used in lip balms, moisturisers, creams, body butters and lotions.
