Cacoa husk + Rosehip

Cocoa Husk and Rosehip Tea have potential skin benefits due to their antioxidant and their anti inflammatory properties, which can protect the skin from UV damage. Cocoa husk contains epicatechin, which reduces production of free radicals, promotes collagen production, and improves skin hydration. Rosehip is rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, which protect the skin from free radical damage and have anti-inflammatory properties.

The study on phytochemicals (theobromine; protocatechuic acid; procyanidin B2, epicatechin) from cocoa shells reveals their potential positive effects in preventing NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease). This is achieved through the activation of FGF21 signaling, the mitigation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, and the alleviation of lipid accumulation and insulin resistance.
