Beurre de cacao en poudre (Cocoa Butter Powder)

Cocoa Butter Powder is a spray-dried or microencapsulated form of theobroma cacao seed butter, derived from the roasted seeds of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). Unlike traditional solid cocoa butter, the powdered form offers formulators the advantage of easier incorporation into anhydrous powder formulations, pressed powders, and dry-phase cosmetics without the handling challenges of a waxy solid. It retains the characteristic rich fatty acid profile of cocoa butter — dominated by stearic, palmitic, and oleic acids — delivering the same emollient, skin-softening, and mild occlusive barrier properties in a more versatile, free-flowing format.
