Cocoa & Coffee Luxurious Body Wash

Cocoa Butter is a rich, nourishing ingredient in body care products, known for its intensive moisturising and restorative properties. Extracted from the seeds of Theobroma cacao, it contains valuable fatty acids and antioxidants that keep the skin soft, elastic and protected. Its rich texture creates a comfortable protective layer, particularly suitable for dry and sensitive skin.

Here are the key components of cocoa butter and their benefits for the skin on the body:

• Oleic Acid (Omega-9): Nourishes deeply and helps retain moisture, making the skin softer and more supple.

• Stearic acid: Strengthens the skin's protective barrier and contributes to its smoothness and resilience against external factors.

• Palmitic acid: Creates a protective film on the skin that reduces moisture loss and prevents dryness.

• Polyphenols and flavonoids: Powerful antioxidants that protect the skin from free radicals and help fight premature ageing.

• Procyanidins: Support collagen synthesis and improve skin elasticity, contributing to a firmer, smoother look.

Mechanism of action on the skin:

• Intense hydration: Penetrates the upper layers of the skin while forming a protective occlusive layer that locks in moisture and prevents dehydration.

• Repair and softening: Nourishes dry and damaged skin, making it smoother, softer and velvety to the touch.

• Anti-ageing effect: Stimulates collagen production, improves elasticity and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

• Soothing action: Relieves irritation, dryness and conditions such as eczema and dermatitis, restoring the skin's comfort.

• Protective effect: Creates a natural barrier against external aggressors and contributes to mild photoprotection against UVA/UVB rays.

Thanks to this rich composition, cocoa butter is an excellent ingredient in body products – it provides deep hydration, nourishes and restores the skin, making it smoother, more supple and protected.

Coffee Extract is a powerful botanical ingredient for body care, rich in antioxidants and caffeine, that helps protect, firm and revitalise the skin. It acts as a natural “energy booster”, stimulating microcirculation, smoothing the skin's surface and improving its tone and elasticity.

Key benefits of coffee extract in body care products:

• Antioxidant protection: Rich in chlorogenic acid and polyphenols, which neutralise free radicals and protect the skin from premature ageing and external aggressors.

• Stimulating microcirculation: Caffeine improves blood circulation, giving the skin a fresher, toned and radiant look.

• Anti-cellulite and draining effect: Helps reduce fluid retention and smooths skin texture, reducing the appearance of cellulite.

• Firming and smoothing: Supports collagen synthesis and improves elasticity, making the skin firmer and smoother.

• Anti-inflammatory action: Soothes the skin and reduces redness and irritation.

Where coffee extract is used:

Coffee extract is found in various body products such as anti-cellulite creams, lotions, exfoliants (scrubs) and shower gels. It is particularly suitable for products aimed at smoothing, firming and revitalising the skin.
