These are trying times – unprecedented for most of us. Clients will be looking for treatments that calm and relax. At a time like this, what could be better than the soothing aroma of cocoa? So, for clients looking to ease the body and mind, consider skin care and massage products that include cocoa butter as a key ingredient, such as BIOTONE Cocoa-Comfort Massage Balm.
As if the scent weren’t enough to please any client, cocoa butter is considered the “ultimate moisturizer.” It’s mostly made up of fatty acids, which may help to form a protective layer on the skin to hold in moisture.
Although it’s a fat, cocoa butter is a very stable, highly concentrated natural fat that melts at body temperature, so it easily absorbs into the skin. It not only helps to retain moisture; it helps protect sensitive skin against environmental conditions. That’s because cocoa butter also features a high number of antioxidants, which help protect the skin against damage from free radicals.
Clients looking to enhance their skin and de-stress will love
