Understanding two different natural butter options.
Shea butter and cocoa butter are both natural butters, but they behave differently and suit different uses.
Texture
Shea butter is softer and easier to work with at room temperature. Cocoa butter is firmer and holds its shape better, including in soap and cosmetic bar formulations.
Which to choose
If you are unsure which is right for your use case, both are available in 250g, 500g and 1kg retail sizes, so you can compare them directly.
