Our organic cocoa butter is fairly traded with small farmers in southern Togo, who harvest the cocoa beans from the shade-grown cocoa trees. This variety of cocoa butter has a particular rich, chocolate-like aroma, stronger than any other cocoa butter that we know of. It is free from any chemical preservatives and it has not been deodorised.

 

Cocoa butter is great for all types of skin. It helps to repair dry and damaged skin since it helps to regenerate skin cells and restore elasticity thanks to its high levels of antioxidants and minerals. Cocoa butter promotes healthy and smooth skin and is particularly good as a protection against the weather.

 

MSM is a sulphur compound that is naturally found in all body cells and some of our most common foods. Sulphur is an essential component for the formation of collagen, which is the fibrous substance in connective tissue. It is especially concentrated in the skin, hair and nails.

 

Adequate levels of sulphur in the body promotes a radiant complexion, glowing skin and mineralised hair. Therefore sulphur is called The beauty mineral. As part of a skin care product, MSM promotes skin elasticity, healing and repair. It also allows greater cell permeability, therefore allowing waste products to be flushed out of the cells.

Mango kernel butter has a very rich and smooth feel to it. It is obtained by cold-pressing the kernels of the mango fruit.

 

Due to its high levels of unsaponifiables, emollient properties and high oxidative ability, raw mango butter has skin regenerative qualities and is therefore great for dry, chapped lips. It may also provide some protection against UV radiation.
