Baobab Soap

Cioccolatina is a fine range of handmade, organic and paraben-free natural toiletries with emphasis on skin deep formulations.

I have used my passion for products that moisturise the skin as a catalyst to formulate toiletries using only premium ingredients such as pure unrefined sheabutter from Ghana. Natural/organic ingredients are selected for their specific qualities to nourish and pamper the skin & hair.

None of the products contain any artificial colouring or synthetic fragrances. We enhance our products which are subtly scented with essential oils or left fragrance free with the unique properties of herbs.
A moisturising bar with fair trade/community traded baobab, unrefined cocoa butter, unrefined shea butter with aloe vera and the subtle scent of vertivert. Ideal for all skin types.
BAOBAB OIL: Native to Africa, this community traded rich moisturising oil is obtained from the seeds of the baobab tree aka "the upside down tree" or monkey-bread. A fantastic oil for dry itchy sensitive skin, baobab oil is rich in vitamin c and helps improve skin elasticity. Baobab oil is easily absorbed.

Baobab Probiotic



Baobab is both Prebiotic and Probiotic


The Definitive Guide to Safe, Natural Health Solutions Using Probiotic and Prebiotic Foods and Supplements

by Gary B. Huffnagle, Ph.D. and Sarah Wernick

If the thought of bacteria conjures images of germs that should be avoided at all costs—and certainly not ingested—think again! Some friendly bacteria, called probiotics, are not only beneficial to your health, they’re essential. Now an internationally recognized scientist at a top U.S. medical school—one of the leading researchers in the field—sheds light on the extraordinary benefits of these natural health superstars.
Thanks to an explosion of research in recent years, one thing is clear: probiotics, the healthy bacteria that inhabit the digestive tract, are the body’s silent partners for good health, optimizing the power of the immune system to fight disease and the “bad” germs we fear.
But how do they work? And in the face of factors like stress and poor diet, which decrease their numbers, how do you keep your supply well stocked? Here is an up-to-the-minute, highly accessible guide to probiotics and the foods and supplements that contain and support them—many of which may be in your diet already.
Discover:
The key role of probiotics and prebiotics in restoring healthy balance to our bodies, improving immune system functioning, and curbing inflammation
How to use probiotic foods and supplements to prevent and relieve allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, yeast infections, and the negative side effects of antibiotic use
New evidence that probiotics may help fight asthma, cardiovascular disease, breast and colon cancer, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia—and even obesity
Natural sources of prebiotics, the nutrients that help make the digestive tract more hospitable for probiotic bacteria
The Probiotics Revolution also includes a step-by-step plan for incorporating the many food sources of probiotics and prebiotics into your diet, a complete buyer’s guide to probiotic supplements, and how to introduce probiotics to your family and children.
