You're all too familiar with chocolate, it's been by your side for every birthday (cake) and breakup. But have you heard about cacao?
Put down that Kit Kat, because it's the unprocessed form of chocolate that's taking centre stage. Meet cacao, an ingredient popping up in smoothie bowls and protein balls across the globe, talk about #trending. Cacao is the raw form of cacao beans, which are ground down to create chocolate.
We chose to include cacao in our Cacao Tanning Oil, not only for its choc tint but for its skin loving benefits. Cacao has one of the highest measured levels of antioxidants that assist in repairing the skin. As a result, cacao infused products leave skin healthy and glowing. So what are some of the key benefits of this sweet ingredient?
Hydration
Cacao contains high levels of antioxidants and raw enzymes. Cacao reduces water loss in the skin barrier to plump skin and relieves dryness.
The sweet benefits of cacao don't stop there. The high Omega 6 & fatty acids in cacao encourage healing. Skin will appear smoother and scars will reduce, especially those pesky stretch marks.
Our Cacao Tanning Oil comes with or without SPF6 and has a choc tint, which makes it perfect for those fairer skinned babes. Rich in Vitamin C and Magnesium, these ingredients work to restore and rejuvenate the skin. The result, deliciously smooth & hydrated skin.
So forget what you've heard about chocolate not being good for you. This is one sweet ingredient you want around. Now you can have your (chocolate) cake and eat it too.
