In the treatment room
Cacao is genuinely antioxidant-dense — the aroma is a side effect of the active, not a fragrance added on top. That is why this reads as an indulgent treatment and still does real work for dull, depleted skin.
It is the mask clients remember, ask for by name, and rebook for. That matters to a treatment menu.
Best for
Protocol
A nourishing treatment in its own right, or the comforting close to a corrective facial.

Apply to clean skin after cleansing or exfoliation.
Leave on, then remove thoroughly with warm towels or cotton rounds.
Combine with Super Fruit C for brightness, or Matcha + Oat Milk to calm.
Finish with a barrier cream or facial oil for depleted skin.
Before you treat
Assess skin condition, treatment history and contraindications. This formula is free of essential oils.
Formulator’s note
“Cacao is one of the most antioxidant-dense ingredients you can put on skin, and it happens to smell like the best part of the day. I did not want to choose between an effective mask and a memorable one.
This is the treatment clients name when they rebook. That is not a small thing — the experience is part of why people come back, and coming back is what actually changes skin.”

Professional questions
No. It is real cacao — the aroma comes from the active itself. There are no essential oils or added fragrance.
Yes. Super Fruit C, Cacao Bliss and Matcha + Oat Milk can be used alone, blended or layered.
It is deeply pigmented from the cacao — treat it like any dark botanical mask and use darker linens.
No. It is a nourishing antioxidant mask, so it suits skin that has had enough exfoliation already.
It is a rich formula. For congested or reactive skin, Matcha + Oat Milk or Vital Hydration is the better booster.
