Cocoa powder is a high-performance solid derived from the Theobroma cacao bean, processed to ensure a standardized fat content and rich polyphenol profile. It serves as a critical natural colorant and flavor base, offering exceptional thermal stability for industrial food manufacturing.

Available in Natural and Alkalized (Dutch-processed) variants, this ingredient allows for precise pH control within complex formulations. It is refined to a fine particle size, ensuring uniform dispersion in both liquid-based beverages and solid Food Grade confectionery matrices.

In the beauty sector, its antioxidant properties make it a premium Cosmetic Grade additive for protective skincare. The powder’s ability to combat oxidative stress provides significant value for manufacturers focused on high-end, functional consumer products.

Cocoa powder

  • Industrial Confectionery: Acts as the primary structural and flavor component for dark chocolate, coatings, and bakery-stable fillings.
  •  Functional Beverages: Used in the production of instant cocoa mixes and protein supplements, benefiting from high solubility and flavor intensity.
  • Topical Dermocosmetics: Formulated into body scrubs and masks to utilize its natural flavonoids for skin rejuvenation and UV-induced damage repair.

While non-toxic, bulk handling carries a risk of combustible dust explosions. Personnel should wear N95 dust masks, safety goggles, and antistatic gloves to prevent respiratory irritation and manage electrostatic discharge during large-scale transfer.
