Innovations from Origin - Beauty & Body Care

Cacao butter, powder, and even the shells have long been cherished by cacao farming communities for natural moisture, antioxidants, and a scent that brings joy. By extending the use of the cacao pod beyond traditional chocolate-making, these innovative products offer pure, all-natural, clean beauty and skincare that’s kind to bodies, farmers, and the planet. 

Skincare

Cacao-based products—such as butters, scrubs, and oils—offer deep hydration and soothe skin, thanks to a rich blend of fatty acids, polyphenols, and antioxidants. These natural compounds can help fade spots, boost collagen, combat dryness, and defend against environmental stressors, providing a youthful glow and smoother texture.
