Collagen Chocolate

Raw cacao is somewhat different from the common “Cocoa” and refers to the Theobroma Cacao tree from which Cocoa is derived, and is used when referring to unprocessed versions of the cacao bean. Normal cocoa powder and chocolate have been chemically processed and roasted, which destroys a large amount of the antioxidants and flavanols (the things that keep you young and healthy). A recent study suggested that between 60% and 90% of the original antioxidants in cacao are lost through processing thus eliminating all precious benefits of this super food.

Non-organic cocoa (and non-organic chocolate) has also been treated heavily with toxic pesticides and fumigation chemicals, and may contain genetically modified (GMO) products.

If that wasn’t enough, Oxfam estimates that over 70% of the world’s cocoa is grown by indigenous communities who are paid such a low wage that poverty is widespread. In some instances, child slaves are used, forced to engage in dangerous work such as using machetes and applying toxic pesticides.

Collagen occupies lots of space in the edible beauty world. —it’s seriously effective at helping skin look younger from the inside out. But there’s another ingredient you should look for in your beauty supplements and its called: ceramides. These molecules are found in a different layer of skin than collagen, and they play a completely different—but complimentary—role in skin rejuvenation. Together, collagen and ceramides can help skin appear smoother, plumper, and more radiant than either one could alone.

Ceramides are lipids that fill in the gaps between cells in the top layer of skin, otherwise known as the skin barrier. (like the grout between tiles in your shower.) About 50% of the skin barrier is composed of 9 different ceramides. They all help keep moisture in and free radicals out!

Collagen, on the other hand, is found in the deeper layers of skin. While ceramides have a protective function, collagen helps skin maintain its plumpness and elasticity.

Always! The beauty benefits of our luxurious beauty chocolates are timeless. It's like a rich moisturizing cream, a cornerstone of any beauty routine, but with a unique twist. Our innovative ingredient deeply hydrates your body from within, nourishing your skin inside out. While traditional creams only target specific areas, our chocolate provides holistic hydration. Additionally, by taking phytoceramides orally, you can replenish your skin's ceramide levels, promoting healthier skin.

Experience the power of collagen and ceramides working in perfect harmony for a healthy, hydrated, and plump complexion. Just like collagen, our skin naturally starts to lose ceramides in our 30s. Factors such as exposure to extreme temperatures and UV damage can further deplete our ceramide levels, weakening the skin barrier and reducing its effectiveness. As a result, the skin struggles to retain moisture, leading to dryness and dehydration, which can accentuate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While collagen powder alone may not provide the desired youthful-looking skin, it's essential to replenish your ceramides as well. By preserving the integrity of collagen, ceramides play a vital role in maintaining a resilient skin barrier.
