The worst ingredient is evening primerose oil. I tried everything to hide the smell of this oil but nothing worked...

Hi Lise One of the ingredients that I love but find it almost unbearable to use is Organic Cocoa Butter. It makes my eyes water. I have since discovered you put a large amount spread out on a baking sheet that is covered with parchment paper. I then get two or three clean tea towels and cover entirely the Cocoa Butter and put it outside on a table to air. The towels protect it from anything flying about or landing on the butter chips. I remove the towels every day with fresh ones. I do this for usually 3- 4 days. Of course weather dependent also. I then am able to smell the "chocolate" fragrance of the Cocoa Butter without what I believe is a very strong almost urine like smell when you get a fresh batch of non-deodorized Cocoa Butter. I hope this works for you if you give it a try.

Thanks for this Jane. The coca butter I buy comes in tubs, so this method would be rather difficult for me to try. Interesting idea though!

I also buy in tubs, but I get the round discs in them. You could also chip out a block and then put it in a grater to make smaller bundles.

Just a thought. :-)

Cold pressed unrefined Camelina oil is a stinky one too! Smells of rotting veggies. This is very helpful info, thanks for sharing!
