I'm developing a recipe that uses Cocoa Butter and wanted to know if there were any suggested ranges to use it percentage wise. Or anything that I should be aware of if using it at higher percentages. I think I should be fine if I keep it under 15% (I'm currently using 9% in my formula).
Percentage range for Cocoa Butter?

Are you developing a recipe for soap, lotion, lotion bars ---- what? The percentages
For soap, I think 15% is the maximum amount. Here are recommended percentages from Wholesale Supplies Plus:

Cocoa butter is wonderfully moisturizing, and makes beautiful, creamy soap - as you'll already know .... But CB is comedogenic (causes spots), so I tend to stick in the 5-10% range, because I did get some spots when I went higher.
