In an article yesterday entitled “Your Cake and Slather It on, Too,” the New York Times explored the increasing trend of chocolate and cocoa-infused beauty products, including Origins Cocoa Therapy Deeply Nourishing Body Butter. According to their research, over 90 such products hit the shelves in 2004, quadruple the number from the previous year.
