NOW Foods Solutions, Cocoa Butter, Multi-Purpose Skin Moisturizer, Natural Moisture for the Whole Body, 7-Ounce

I just love, love, love the smell of this product! It is so wonderful! I am a bit embarrassed to say this, but the smell of this Cocoa butter is like an Aphrodisiac to my senses. I was rubbing some on my mate and the next thing you know, we had to get busy because the smell of it was just really arousing to me. I can't explain it.. No other product (not Shea butter, not almond butter, not coconut oil, not jojoba oil, etc) has this type of effect on my olfactory senses as does the smell of this Cocoa Butter. I will admit, this stuff is hard as a rock. There is absolutely no way that you think you are going to open this and stick your fingers in it to grab some. Not happening. Since the weather is cold right now I use a little space heater and I just sit it in front of the heater (about 12 to 15 inches) on a book and when I am ready to use it in the morning, it's good to go. When it's melted it is very runny so be careful not to get the stuff into your carpet because it will get rock hard and you'll have a hard time removing it. Despite all that, I will definitely buy this again!Update 10.25.13I've found an effective way to keep this product from getting rock hard. For a couple of months now, I've been mixing the Cocoa Butter with Now Organic Coconut Oil and its has definitely solved the rock hard problem of this product.I usually mix 1/3 to 1/2 coconut oil with this jar of cocoa butter and it becomes a smooth and creamy consistency that you can dip out with your fingers. If you are interested in trying this out, you will have to find the perfect ratio of cocoa butter to coconut oil to suit your preference, but it does work great.

NOW brand does not disappoint with their cocoa butter. It's excellent and helps with fading scars and with dry skin. Highly recommended!

So I bought this a few months ago and I was excited for a food safe moisturizer that I could use even when I'm in the kitchen. Unfortunately since day one it was a lumpy, chunky tub if funky smelling stuff. I've used it a few times and it's decent as far as moisturizing, but it's just smells so bad. Just recently I used it around my wife and she took a whiff and asked why I was using rancid coco butter. I just assumed that the raw stuff a didn't have that super chocolatey smell that the processed lotions do, but apparently the tub I received was bad before it even made it into my hands.

I would recommend melting it and pouring into silicone ice cube molds to portion out the cocoa butter. I use it to moisturize scars, so it's easiest to have a holdable small portion rather than trying to scoop out some solids and melt the shavings.

This cocoa butter reminds me of what used to be years ago. I like it so far.

I bough this to be used in some personal body products I am in the process of creating. The significant other and I had found a product we like, one that does not irritate my sensitive skin, but it's hard to find and costly to have shipped in from across the pond. I got a list of the ingredients and decided to make my own version. I know the benefits of using raw butters and oils outweigh those of their refined brethren but since we'll be using it in a delicate place I had to be sure there was nothing funny left in it as can sometimes happen with the unprocessed types. Sure, some would claim that the processing of it is more likely to leave residue traces behind but NOW does not use Hexane in their refinement, says so right on the bottle. I'm not normally one to believe packaging since companies can claim almost anything and get away with it but I have other NOW products and have always been pleased with the quality. From what I have bought and read, they seem to be a company that doesn't want to try to slip something past its consumers.Great cocoa butter, smells devine - feels even better. Skin is smooth and hydrated without feeling greasy. I love chocolate and now I get to smell like it!

Must be softened by heat in order to use. It’s completely solid. It’s coco butter though.

I've tried a lotta beauty products for stretch marks, but this simple ingredient has been the most effective. I've been using this product for a month. No stretch marks on my 38 week baby bump...so far. Some marks that I had before pregnancy have faded considerably, but of course, they'll never disappear completely. After melting a chunk in the microwave, I rub this in for at least 10 seconds over each area, 2 to 3 times a day. The whole process doesn't take more than 5 minutes each time, but I'm on maternity leave and in no rush. The residual I apply to elbows and knees. I smell like a milk chocolate bar afterwards, which is awesome.Of course, everything is relative, so it should be mentioned that I watch what I eat, exercise lightly everyday, and drinks gallons of water a day. And even then, I know I can still get stretch marks and even noticed some dimpling on my thighs...ARGH. Being a woman ain't easy....
