Haute Cocoa
Dark Chocolate, Warm Brownies, Vanilla Honey
There's a moment when you're making brownies where someone walks into the kitchen and asks what smells so good. Before the timer goes off. Before anything's ready. Just the scent of dark chocolate and vanilla hitting warm air.

That's what Haute Cocoa smells like. Not chocolate candy. Not chocolate-scented candle trying to smell like chocolate. The actual baking moment—rich, a little bitter, warm with honey underneath.
Everything's made in small batches at our Owings Mills lab. The body butter uses organic cocoa seed butter with coconut oil, sweet almond oil, and our honey. The candles are 100% American-grown soy wax with phthalate-free fragrance—no paraffin, no petroleum. The chai tea has actual cocoa powder mixed with rooibos and warming spices. Even the honey lollipops get hand-dipped in dark chocolate that hardens with that satisfying snap.
People buy the body butter and come back for the candle. Or they buy the candle and realize they want their skin to smell the same. Haute Cocoa works that way—it's the scent you didn't know you wanted everywhere.
Made in Owings Mills, Maryland
All body butter and candles are made in small batches at our USDA-standard lab facility. We pour, blend, and package everything ourselves. Each batch gets quality-checked before it ships.
Real Cocoa Ingredients
Body butter contains organic cocoa seed butter. Chai tea uses actual cocoa powder, not flavoring. The chocolate on our lollipops is real chocolate—melted, tempered, hand-dipped. When we say chocolate, we mean it.
Soy Wax Burns Clean
Our candles use 100% American-grown soy wax with cotton wicks. No paraffin, no petroleum byproducts. Soy burns cleaner and longer—40-50 hours per candle with proper wick trimming.
Phthalate-Free Fragrance
The chocolate scent comes from skin-safe, phthalate-free fragrance oil blended specifically for this collection. It smells like actual brownies cooling on the counter, not fake chocolate air freshener.
Honey Makes It Different
Our body butter includes Bee Inspired honey in the formula. It's the ingredient that makes the chocolate scent smell warm instead of sharp. The honey also adds humectant properties for better moisture retention.
It smells like dark chocolate brownies with vanilla and a warm honey note—not chocolate candy or artificial chocolate scent. Multiple customers have mentioned their partners asking what they're baking when they walk in after applying it.
Most people get 1-2 months of daily use from one 8oz jar, depending on how much you apply. A little goes a long way—warm it between your hands first and it spreads easily. The body butter stays good for 6 months after opening when stored at room temperature.
The fragrance blend took months to develop. Most chocolate body products smell either too sweet (like chocolate candy) or too artificial. Ours has the warm, slightly bitter edge of real dark chocolate plus vanilla and honey notes. It's the scent of baking, not candy.
Yes. The soy wax burns clean without soot buildup, and the scent fills a medium room without being overwhelming. Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn and let the wax pool fully across the surface for even burning.
The formula uses gentle, moisturizing ingredients—coconut oil, sweet almond oil, organic cocoa butter, and honey. We've had customers with dry skin tell us it works well for them. As with any new skincare product, patch test first if you have concerns.
The Chocolate Covered Citrus Gift pairs Haute Cocoa body butter with citrus body scrub and lip gloss for contrast. The Mini Luxe Holiday Candle Set includes three candle scents including Haute Cocoa. Both sets come ready to gift.
The Chocolate Dipped Honey Lollipops are hard honey candy covered in real dark chocolate. The Haute Cocoa Chai tea contains real cocoa powder mixed with rooibos and spices—it's drinkable and edible. The body butter and candles are chocolate-scented but not meant to be consumed.
