Because we use unrefined/non-deodorized cocoa butter, our nursing cream may have an aroma of chocolate. We chose to use certified organic unrefined/non-deodorized cocoa butter because it has not undergone any type of chemical bleaching and it contains tons of antioxidants that are incredibly beneficial for the skin! These antioxidants also make cocoa butter very shelf stable.

Since we use only natural ingredients and no fillers or chemical stabilizers, sometimes the products can separate a bit (ex. white flakes of cocoa or shea butter in a salve or cream or product “pulling away” from the sides of a jar) when exposed to extremes in temperature over time. This does not affect the quality of the product or the moisturizing effects; it is simply just a change in appearance and sometimes the texture. To return any of the creams, balms, or salves to their original state (this does not include any of the whipped butters!), it is simple to place the tin in a heat proof dish and heat up the cream gently in a low temperature set oven (please use caution and let the dish/tin cool before touching as the tin can get very hot even in a low temp oven!). After cooling, the product will once again regain its original consistency. 


The texture of this butter is whipped. It can melt during hot temperatures (please see our heat warning for more info on this). Because we use no fillers or water, this butter is highly concentrated. This means that it will have a heavier texture or "feel" than a lotion which does contain water. The benefit is that your skin will get to enjoy the benefits of this heavier texture and be even more protected from moisture loss.
