Skin Loving Chocolate Bark

You can still have fun things without compromising your skin health!

Often acne is driven by blood glucose dysregulation, so by using a low sugar organic dark chocolate we avoid spiking blood glucose dramatically. The addition of healthy fats from the nuts and seeds helps to keep sugars stable and contributes to maintaining healthy, nourished skin. Collagen is a protein that has been shown to support skin elasticity and firmness, and adding it to recipes like this is an easy way to nourish your skin from the inside out. Camu camu is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C, which supports collagen production and acts as a powerful antioxidant to help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation that can contribute to breakouts and premature ageing. The addition of berries brings a burst of flavour and natural sweetness, along with polyphenols and antioxidants to support a clear, glowing complexion. Nuts and seeds also offer zinc, vitamin E, and essential fatty acids - all necessary for skin repair, hydration, and resilience. This bark is crunchy, satisfying, and skin-loving - proof that you can enjoy treats that actually love you back.
