Raw Chocolate Face Pack
This is a gorgeous face pack that helps to promote a smooth and well-toned
complexion. It is made with four natural ingredients carefully chosen for their
nourishing and beautifying properties: raw chocolate powder, the highest known
source of antioxidants in the world-, red clay, organic turmeric and organic
amla fruit powder.
Raw Gaia’s rich and exotic raw chocolate face pack will cleanse your skin
gently and help to draw out toxins. It is suitable for all skin types and for
both men and women.
The qualities of the ingredients in Raw Gaia’s Raw Chocolate Face Pack
are as follows:
- Organic Raw Chocolate Powder. The nutritional content of raw
chocolate powder is simply astonishing: According to lab analysis, it
has 955 ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) units per gram, which
makes it the highest known source of antioxidants in the world. There
are over 25,200 antioxidants in a single spoonful of raw chocolate powder!
Antioxidants are wonderful for your skin because they absorb free radicals,
which cause cell and tissue damage as well as lead to premature ageing.
Raw chocolate powder contains 367% more antioxidants than its cooked
version.
- Sun-Dried Red Clay: Rich in trace elements and minerals, particularly
iron. It is great for toning and cleansing and leaves the complexion
looking radiant. Red clay is gentle like the green clay & suitable
for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.
- Organic Turmeric: Turmeric has been used for centuries to bring
a healthy glow to the skin and to make it soft and smooth. It also helps
to promote an even skin complexion. In India for example, it is traditionally
used for pigmentation spots and blotches. Turmeric can also benefit
skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne.
- Organic Amla Fruit Powder: Amla is an aryuvedic herb and is
well-known for its wonderful qualities on skin tone and har. Also referred
to as the Indian Gooseberry, it is high on Vitamin C content and therefore
highly nourishing. It is an excellent cleanser and promotes a fresh,
bright complexion.

 About
Raw Gaia, by Raw Gaia
How it all started
For many years, we searched for a really good moisturizer, that would be made
with ingredients as fresh and as close to nature as possible and that would
be free from any chemical or toxic ingredients.
Unable to find anything suitable, we started experimenting in the kitchen and
making our own creams. Eventually we came up with what we believe is one of
the purest range of skin care products available.
What distinguishes Raw Gaia is that we use only 100% organic, raw and vegan
ingredients such as raw cocoa (cacao) butter, cold pressed oils and essential
oils. Importantly, our products are made following a process that avoids temperatures
beyond 40°C. In this way, the life force of the ingredients and all their
antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, etc., are retained. All these nutrients are
then available to nourish your skin, without leaving any surface residues.
The importance of raw
Simply put, the main benefit of a raw, living skin care product is that your
body nourishes from the existing life force of the ingredients. In contrast,
subjecting to high temperatures destroy most of this living energy.
Raw ingredients provide additional benefits to the skin through their:
Antioxidants: Antioxidants help to keep the skin supple and beautiful
by neutralizing free radicals. Free radical exposure eventually leads to hidden
inflammation and eventually, wrinkles and ageing skin.
Minerals: These occur naturally in our bodies and are found in our most
common foods. Sulphur for example is essential to make the skin soft and elastic
since it is an essential component of all connective tissues.
Vitamins: They are beneficial to damaged and distressed skin. Vitamin
C for example, is especially useful as an anti-wrinkle remedy for under-eyes
skin.
Omega 6 Fatty Acids: Present in oils such as primrose and borage seed
oils, they have been shown to gradually improve eczema and moisturize dry, cracking
and/or scaling skin.
What purity really means
Several leading alternative medicine practitioners and nutritionists suggest
that you should only apply on your skin what you would be willing to eat. The
reason behind this is that it will end up in the body tissues, either way.
Raw Gaia’s creams, lip balms and moisturisers are so pure that you could
in fact, eat them. (We’ve done that ourselves as a test!) We don’t
recommend you do that since they are not very palatable and the stomach may
not be used to it, but our skin care products are certainly safe to eat since
they are only made with raw, vegan and organic ingredients.
Evidently, our products do not contain any nasty petrochemicals, artificial
colourants and parfums, glycols, lauryl sulphates, parabens, preservatives,
synthetic additives, bulking agents or hidden ingredients. Because we avoid
any heat treatment, the oils in our products also do not contain any toxic transfatty
acids.
Raw Gaia's products are certified vegan by The Vegan Society. Our products
have not been tested on animals. In addition, we have carefully screened our
suppliers to ensure they do not carry out tests on animals either.
Important legal note: Though we are happy to provide
products and services which will help you to improve your health and well being, we do not 'treat', or aim to 'cure' any disease. Under UK law only a medical doctor may 'treat' illness and disease with a medical origin. The information in this web page is for information purposes only.
