Raw cocoa butter is composed of mono-triglycerides, fatty acids and crude enzymes, which help cell repair and promote deep nourishment. In addition, it has an exceptional antioxidant content that protects the skin's collagen and elastin.

Fair Trade sourcing

The majority of cacao is produced for the food and fragrance industries, where aggressive toasting processes prioritize aroma and flavor over nutritional value, significantly reducing its health benefits. This industry have also drawn intense criticism due to its contribution to tropical deforestation and significant labor issues.

In response to these labor and environmental challenges, various organizations have emerged to support sustainable cacao farming, fair wages, and opportunities for disadvantaged farmers. The commitment to Fair Trade guidelines ensures that cacao is grown sustainably, benefiting both the environment and the people involved in its production. When grown under a canopy, cacao farming improves soil health, prevents erosion, provides additional resources for farmers, and supports biodiversity.

At Annie Blume we support this effort by choosing raw cocoa butter from farmers who follow these ethical standards.
