Nourishment from the Root

About Cacao is the world’s leading source of cacao as a sacred medicine.
We bridge ancestral tradition with science, ritual, and modern healing.
Now, we bring cacao back to the body through high-vibrational skincare that nourishes your skin and reawakens your essence.

At About Cacao, we return cacao to the body through intentional formulations that treat the skin as a sacred organ of memory, feeling, and renewal.

Cacao holds within it the power to restore not only the body, but the emotional and energetic layers of self. Applied topically, cacao is more than a beauty product—it is a ritual.

Why Cacao for the Skin?

Cacao contains an extraordinary combination of compounds that support, repair, and illuminate the skin:

• Antioxidants (polyphenols & flavonoids): Protect skin from environmental stress and premature aging.

• Magnesium & Iron: Restore tired, depleted skin by improving circulation and oxygenation.

• Theobromine: Gently stimulates blood flow, creating a natural glow and improved skin vitality.

• Vitamin C & E: Repair cellular damage and reduce inflammation.

• Cacao Butter: Deeply nourishes, softens, and seals in moisture without clogging pores.

Cacao also contains subtle bioactive compounds that signal the nervous system to relax—making each application a nervous system reset, not just a skincare routine.

The Benefits of Ritual Cacao Skincare

• Emotional grounding: The scent and texture of cacao calm the mind and regulate the nervous system.

• Energetic cleansing: Applied with breath and awareness, cacao supports the clearing of stagnant energy and emotional residue.

• Hormonal balance: The natural chemistry of cacao supports hormone-sensitive skin with gentle nourishment.

• Collagen protection: Flavonoids preserve elasticity and slow signs of aging.

• Heart activation: Topical cacao stimulates not only circulation, but the energetic center of the body—the heart.

Skin as Ceremony

We believe that skincare is a ritual of remembrance. Your skin holds stories of joy, of pain, of lineage.
When cacao touches the skin, it does more than hydrate or repair: it reconnects you to your essence.

Our cacao-based products are:

• Handmade with ceremonial-grade cacao

• Infused with resins, botanicals, and oils used in ancestral medicine

• Designed to ground, soothe, and awaken

Every formula begins with an intention: to love the skin, not fix it. To create radiance through presence. To bring sacredness back to the body.

The Ritual:
How to Work with Cacao on the Skin

Prepare: Begin with clean hands and an open heart.

Apply with intention: Use slow, circular motions. Inhale deeply as you move.

Breathe: Let the scent ground you. Let the cacao speak.

Receive: Feel what emerges. Your body remembers how to glow.

Skincare as Soul Care

At About Cacao, we don't create products, we craft experiences.
Each bottle or balm is an invitation back to yourself to care for your skin not as a surface, but as a sacred portal.

Cacao was never meant to be consumed only.
It was meant to be worn, felt, and lived.

Welcome to the ritual.
