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.

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!

Product is hard & unusable. I tried to return it, but Amazon said I couldn’t.

Amazing product! This is cocoa butter that the skin actually, fully absorbs within a minute. I will say that it is incredibly difficult to get out of it's container and I have to melt it in the microwave for a few seconds, but I feel that it's such a great product, that this really isn't an issue. I don't mind taking the extra time to chisel it out of it's tub and warming it because it actually works. Not to mention, the intoxicating aroma of real cocoa! GREAT PRICE TOO! Fantastic buy! Pure cocoa butter! That's it! No funky preservatives or additives, unlike Palmer's cocoa butter which is mostly mineral oil, corn oil and a variety of different waxes, dimethicone, etc. I will definitely be purchasing this product on a regular basis in the future.

I had not purchased cocoa butter prior to this and honestly thought it would be more like the shey butter. Well it isn't :) It is a solid butter, so it is tricky to get out of this container and the container starts to melt in the microwave. So keep that in mind but other than that it melts into a wonderful smooth very cocoa butter smelling oil that is so nice on the skin! I use it with other butters and oils to make my lotion bars and lip balms and it works out great. So besides it being tough to get out it is a great product.

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

I’m disappointed. I’ve used raw cocoa butter and the smell is not there. Smells more like shea butter.

I was happy that this product was sealed when I received it. It is a solid form of Cocoa Butter, so it’s hard. It seems to melt upon firmly rubbing it into the skin. I believe the hardness of it is because it’s in a raw state. This seems to be a good form of Cocoa Butter. I bought it because Cocoa Butter is great for reversing the effects of Eczema, especially the patchy skin discoloration that it leaves. Also, Now has good products: like this one which doesn’t have any additives or fillers. I’m confident that remaining consistent with daily use, will improve the skin. It is somewhat of a job to get it out of the jar. I will probably scoop it all out and melt it down with coconut oil & then whip it into a body butter.
