What color is this product? I was told that yellow cocoa butter is "newer" than cocoa butter that is white...

Coco butter is an off white. Not a true white. I haven't ever heard that it was yellow. Coconut is an off white, I would think that the butter no matter whether it is new or not is that color. I am on the second I ordered and after a year it still hasn't changed color from what it was originally.

My guess would be yes, this is straight unrefined cocoa butter, smells like chocolate!

I have bought Navitas Naturals Cacao Butter from Wholes Foods prior to this purchase. When comparing the 2, the one from Whole Foods had a seriously rich/heady chocolaty type smell, a rich yellow, and was buttery to the touch. This stuff I bought from Amazon barely had a scent to it, pale yellow with specks of white, and was extremely dried out. Now that is not to say it was not 100% raw but either this product is a bit more processed or extremely old

Should be like off white, not be yellow. Better order it directly from SkinMedica.

mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning! I use this for everything: cooking, skin, in my pets food...you can pay a lot more for small containers called organic or 100% pure but this is the same and a great quality and you can not beat the price...definitely NOT CRAP as someone stated. mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning!

IMO, The cocoa butter has a strongish smell of chocolate. It is a wonderful smell on it's own. When I use cocoa butter I do not add any EO"S.

Cocoa nibs are very small dark bits of cocoa beans. The photo that shows up when I go to the link is of large light colored chunks of cocoa butter. I purchased cocoa butter from this company and was very satisfied with my order.

I would say it has a cocoa color but it also has a lighter color weave in it too.. almost a tan it lightens it up nicely. ..I bought 2 and loved them so much that I got one more

I ordered the Jubilee Kitchen Wax product, and received the bottle (clear plastic) and the liquid wax was white in color. I think that it turns yellow as it ages. I don't know whether the bottle in the picture was very old when the picture was taken. However, I had a very old bottle (glass) of Jubilee that I had from years ago. The product was very thick, and somewhat yellow. It never turned as yellow as the picture. The new product seems the same as I remember.

That confused me, too. I think it's the same thing and they just changed the name. The bottle is the same and the ingredients are the same. Just be sure it says, "Brunette". One of the ingredients should be cocoa or some cocoa derivative.

Yep. But the merchant sent me a tube that's half the size advertised (and the product was clear; it should be creamy white). So my guess is it's also out-of-date. Normally, i love this product! Order from someone else.

I think it may be a mistake. It only shows up in one of the pictures. What I received when I ordered this was 8 ounces of raw cocoa butter chunks in one package for around $7.99. It was a nice quality product and smells very nice.

I just got these from a local store and they are yellow there too!! I wonder if they changed formulas for some reason.

Hi Gina, I babe been using Jan Marini transformation cream for over a year now and mine never changed color to yellow. Just wondering, when u started using the product, when did u noticed the color change? Did u check the expiration date at the bottom? I hope my answer helped a bit.

Not all shea butters are the same. I believe the nuttier smelling variety is more pure and better quality. The ivory is almost always better than yellow. Because of the increasing popularity of it; some sellers have been selling lesser quality shea butter. The nuttier scented variety is always the rawest and less refined .

Mine doesn't have white on top either and is from some other company called wellness scent!I'm so confused.I ordered oregano oilI got sent peppermintAnd totally different company ?!Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

I'd contact the company - they *could* have changed their formula. The last time I purchased this a few months ago, it was still a white lotion.
