Fossa Chocolate x Oasis:

As a team of individuals who strive to be as eco-friendly as we can, imagine our delight when our secret project with Oasis: was finally set in motion! Oasis: is a local vegan beauty brand with a focus on a low-to-zero-waste lifestyle that handcrafts its products daily using only high quality ingredients sourced from the best natural environments.

And guess what? Cocoa husks from our factory happen to be one of the ingredients used in our collaboration with Oasis:. 

Chocolate makers around the world would know that cocoa husks are a byproduct of chocolate manufacturing. They are removed from cocoa nibs through the winnowing process and are often discarded. Each year, an estimated 700 hundred tonnes of cocoa husks are discarded globally. (Source: mdpi)

In our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, we embarked on a collaboration with Oasis: using our cocoa husk upcycled into a skincare product. Loaded with antioxidants, cocoa husks also have a fibrous texture and strong lingering aroma that makes for an excellent ingredient for beauty scrubs. With refreshing hints of coconut, lime and of course, our favourite cocoa, this scrub not only smells good but provides a luxurious cleanse for the scalp and body. As chocolate makers and lovers, this one is definitely right up our alley!

Say hello to this Head-to-Toe Magic Powder Wash, a vegan cocoa scrub that changes from powder to foam upon contact with water. 

Made with 100% plant-based ingredients, this gentle daily powder wash will provide a smooth creamy lather to help lift off daily grime and leave your skin and hair smooth and silky.

The cocoa scrub is now available for purchase on both our website and Oasis: website and retail stores.
