After a severe skin infection recently, my surgeon, and wound care doctors all recommended organic cocoa butter to help sooth the blistered and peeling skin from the skin what looked like burns from the inflammation from the infection. So I ordered this particular brand and have been delighted with it. I did NOT want any type of additives and so chose this one as it is pure cocoa butter. This is a very solid piece of cocoa butter, but I use a tongue depressor or a wooden spoon (from ice cream bars) to scrape what I need each day and then I press the shavings into the palm of my hand and let them soften until it is spreadable on my legs. I am not contaminating the product in the jar by putting my hands in it, just using the wooden stick or whatever you wish to use, and then depositing the amount I want into my hand. I have found this to work well. Some other online suggestions didn't seem like they would be something I wanted to do and this has worked out very easily and well for me. If you are looking for a lotion then you do not want this product. But if you want a pure product with no additives to possibly make your problem worse if using for medical reasons than this is perfect. There is a lovely scent of cocoa or as most people say, "chocolate" for a short time, and to me, it is aroma therapy. It is a really good scent/odor to me and not overpowering. No one has ever asked me what I have on for a scent. This product goes a long way as you do not need much to get the soothing relief that you need.
I would definitely recommend this product especially to anyone who cannot use the ingredients added to most other creams and lotions containing cocoa butter.
