Raw cacao butter

Our organic cacao butter is fairly traded with small farmers in southern Togo, who harvest the cacao beans from the shade-grown cacao trees. This variety of cacao butter has a particular rich, chocolate-like aroma, stronger than any other cacao butter that we know of. It is free from any chemical preservatives and it has not been deodorised.

Cacao butter is great for repairing dry skin, wrinkles and damaged skin. It helps to regenerate skin cells and restore elasticity thanks to its high levels of antioxidants and minerals. Cacao butter promotes healthy and smooth skin and is particularly good as a protection against the weather.

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.
