Properties and effects of cocoa extract:
Moisturizing and nourishing Cocoa extract intensively moisturizes and nourishes the skin, providing it with essential nutrients.
Regular use helps maintain the skin’s hydration level. Reduction of puffiness and dark circles Thanks to its ability to improve microcirculation, cocoa extract reduces the permeability of blood vessels and moisture loss, effectively reducing puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. Lipolytic action Cocoa extract stimulates the metabolism of adipose tissue, so it contributes to the reduction of cellulite and body contouring.
Its lipolytic action promotes fat breakdown processes, making it an ideal ingredient in slimming and anti-cellulite products. Cleansing and detoxification Compounds present in cocoa extract promote blood and lymph circulation, which facilitates the removal of toxins from the body.
As a result, the skin becomes cleaner, more radiant and healthy. UV protection Cocoa extract has a photoprotective effect, so it protects skin and hair from harmful UV rays.
This is especially important for maintaining the color of color-treated hair and preventing skin photo-aging.

It can be used as an active ingredient in lotions, serums, toners, shampoos and conditioners, as well as face masks.
