Our cocoa butter is unrefined, and has been lightly deodourised (a process where the cocoa butter is steamed). The remaining scent is quite understated, but still detectable. However this won't influence the scent of the finished product.

Cocoa butter has a number of benefits and uses. Because of its lovely scent, It is commonly used as a moisturiser, especially after a bath or shower.
