Cocoa Butter

I adore these easy to use wafers for emulsified sugar scrubs! I read the previous reviewer's comment that her cocoa wafers had a strong scent from her 2021 order. Before I placed my order I did read Cierra's statement in BOLD that the product is now deodorized. I do not know if the cocoa butter wasn't deodorized in 2021 or not. However, when I received my order today I opened the package and took a sniff of the lovely ivory colored wafers. There was a slight cocoa scent which is NORMAL for deodorized cocoa butter. One must understand what DEODORIZED means.: ***When cocoa butter is deodorized, it changes. It is deodorized by injecting steam into the melted cocoa butter. This pushed out volatile components which contribute to the natural odor of cocoa butter. The result is a reduction in odor. I will definitely purchase this product again. Margie Bayer Auburn, WA

It left my skin feeling oily. I use this in lip balms and lotion bars. Also trying to use fragrance oil or flavor oil can be a challenge due to the strong scent that comes off of cocoa butter. Did it's job though and is pretty liked.
