Sustainability at Our Core: Why We Use Cocoa Pod Ash in Our Body Wash Range

At O V A N E, sustainability is not just a buzzword; it’s the foundation of everything we do. From sourcing our ingredients to crafting our formulations, every choice is made with care for the planet and love for our customers. That’s why our body wash range is proudly made using the traditional cocoa pod ash method – a practice that blends heritage, sustainability, and innovation.

Harnessing the Power of Cocoa Pod Ash

Cocoa pod ash is a natural by-product derived from the husks of cocoa pods. After the cocoa beans are harvested, these pods are typically discarded, leading to unnecessary agricultural waste. By repurposing this abundant material, we’ve transformed waste into a vital ingredient for our body wash, aligning perfectly with our zero-waste ethos.

The ash is rich in natural potassium carbonate, which is an essential element for creating a gentle cleansing base. This traditional ingredient not only contributes to the silky, soothing feel of our body washes but also reflects our commitment to sustainable practices.

Why It Matters

1. Reducing Waste: By using cocoa pod ash, we actively minimise waste from the cocoa farming process, giving new life to what would otherwise be discarded.

2. Gentle on Skin, Kind to the Planet: The natural cleansing properties of cocoa pod ash allow us to create body washes that are effective yet gentle, free from harsh synthetic detergents and vegan.

Built with Love, Made for Comfort

We believe self-care shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet. Our body washes are crafted with love to bring comfort to your daily routine while honouring the Earth. The cocoa pod ash method embodies our dedication to conscious beauty: harnessing the best of nature, respecting traditional knowledge, and creating products that truly care for you and the environment.

As a vegan brand, we’re deeply committed to creating products that are cruelty-free and sustainable. By choosing our cocoa pod ash body wash ranges, you’re not only treating your skin to the nourishment it deserves but also supporting a brand that puts the planet first.
