For adults (including teens and young adults) this cocoa extract is generally safe when used on the skin. It is mainly used to add moisture and antioxidants and has very low safety concerns.
If you are an adult trying a product with this ingredient: do a small patch test on the inside of your wrist or behind your ear first. Use the product only as directed on the label. If you have sensitive skin, start with a product that uses the extract at a lower concentration. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and worried, check with your healthcare provider, but routine topical use is not expected to be harmful.
Watch for signs of allergy (redness, itching, swelling, hives). People with a known allergy to cocoa or chocolate should avoid this ingredient. The ingredient’s safety records and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s designation of safe limited food use are the main sources supporting low risk; still, stop use and seek medical advice if you get a strong reaction or if irritation persists.
