I finally visited the delectable smelling Choco Loft at 6 St Joseph at Yonge Street and obtained samples of the most exquisite, horizontally traded raw cacao, cocoa butter and vanilla beans. I hope to offer Lotions, Potions and Creams workshops soon at Choco Sol www.chocosoltraders.com, and in the meantime, am busy creating new products and recipes using Choco Sol ingredients.

My first creation is Raw Cacoa Cream, in a beautiful 250 ml apothecary blue glass jar, for sale at Anarres for $21.50. Made with Choco Sol’s raw cacao, this naturally nourishing, moisturizing and sunscreening (SPF 15) cream has been made with purple cacao horizontally traded with producers in Oaxaca, southern Mexico.

Ingredients: filtered water, rose flower water,
raw cacoa butter, fractionated coconut oil, lanette wax,
gum benjamin essential oil, grapefruit seed extract.
