The super powers of chocolate

Older Post < > Newer Post

There's a certain popular belief that eating chocolate can worsen acne or cause pimples. This is a controversial theory, since it's more likely that overall diet, stress, hormones and genetics play a role in the onset of acne.

Chocolate, especially dark chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%), is more of a superfood, touted for its many health benefits.

Here are some of the "superpowers" associated with (moderate) chocolate consumption:

An antioxidant ally

Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids, antioxidants that help combat the damage caused by free radicals in the body. They help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.

A boost to heart health

Regular consumption of dark chocolate helps to lower blood pressure, improve blood vessel health and reduce the risk of heart disease.

A "good mood" asset

Chocolate contains compounds such as theobromine and endorphins, which can improve mood and promote relaxation. Its consumption also triggers the release of serotonin in the brain, which can have a beneficial effect on mental well-being.

Supporting brain function

Certain compounds present in dark chocolate, such as flavonoids, can help improve blood flow to the brain, which could lead to better cognitive function and a reduction in age-related cognitive decline.

Protection from the sun

Flavonoids (there they are again...) in chocolate help protect the skin from damage caused by the sun's ultraviolet rays. A valuable aid in the fight against premature skin ageing and the risk of skin cancer.

Much more than just a sweet treat, chocolate is a source of benefits for our physical and mental health. So we've got a good excuse, don't we?

At Holidermie, we boost chocolate with active beauty ingredients to combine indulgence and beauty benefits:

  • Raw cocoa cubes enriched with naticol marine collagen to provide skin with a preventive action against femininity and the production of free radicals. 85% of the cubes are made in France from organic ingredients, certified by Ecocert, and formulated without gluten, lactose or GMOs.

  • Virtuous PLAQ is the result of a collaboration between Holidermie and Parisian chocolatier PLAQ. It combines Belizean cocoa beans with the power of adaptogenic plants (Schisandra, Ashwagandha, goji and acerola) for amplified beauty benefits.
