Cocoa Butter

Pure 100% Cocoa Butter (manteca de cacao) is one of the most versatile ingredients in Santería, Lucumí, and Afro-Caribbean spiritual traditions. Used as an offering to Obatalá and other Orishas, it is also applied in ritual cleansings (limpiezas), body anointing, and ceremonial preparations.

Ritual uses include:

• Offerings and altar work, particularly for Obatalá
• Body anointing before ceremonies and initiations
• Blending with spiritual oils for custom ritual preparations
• Ingredient in spiritual baths (baños espirituales) for purification and protection
• Skin softening and conditioning for Iyawós during the Osha process
