The cacao tree is native to the Americas and was considered an important commodity in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Spanish chroniclers of the conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés relate that when Montezuma II, emperor of the Aztecs, dined he took no other beverage than chocolate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCautions:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNo known toxicity. Use well diluted. High doses may trigger skin reactions in sensitive individuals. It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance - particularly the rare and exotic notes - becomes lost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCommon Uses:\u003c\/h5\u003e\nCocoa is known to contain valuable anti-oxidants and is reported to assist with sluggish circulation as well as promoting softer, more youthful skin. Anti-oxidants aid in protecting the cells, collagen and elastin from damage caused by free radicals found in our environment. Cocoa has also been used throughout history as an aphrodisiac. This may be due to the positive effects of flavonols - active constituents naturally found in cacao. Cocoa Absolute is perfect for addition to creams, lotions, facial masks and body treatments.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBlends Well With:\u003c\/h5\u003e\nVanilla, Bergamot, Orange and Coffee.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"eg-dev","offers":[{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":772656241,"sku":"","price":17.25,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":772656245,"sku":"","price":34.95,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0387\/7137\/products\/CocoaSingle_WS-500x500.jpg?v=1571275093","url":"https:\/\/eg-dev.myshopify.com\/products\/cocoa-absolute","provider":"eg-dev","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
