Cacao en poudre non sucré (10-12% MG, alcalinisé)

This is an alkalized (Dutch-processed) unsweetened cocoa powder derived from Theobroma cacao beans, with a controlled fat content of 10-12%, making it a medium-fat grade that balances workability and richness in formulations. The alkalization process raises the pH to a neutral-to-slightly-alkaline range, deepening the characteristic dark brown color and mellowing the natural bitterness, which is particularly valued in cosmetic applications for its rich, warm colorant effect and indulgent cocoa scent. Formulators choose this specific grade for face masks, body scrubs, bath products, and lip preparations where its polyphenol-rich antioxidant profile, natural pigmentation, and skin-conditioning properties from residual cocoa butter content provide both functional and sensory benefits.
