Overview
Theobroma cacao seed extract is an extract derived from cocoa beans or cocoa powder, after the cocoa butter has been removed.
Cocoa contains many different bioactive compounds beneficial for the skin – caffeine is a stimulant and increases the microcirculation in the skin, while the flavanols and tannins (responsible for the bitter taste of true cocoa) have astringent and antioxidant properties.
