The Case for Clean Chocolate
There is a version of chocolate that asks nothing of you except to slow down. No artificial flavors, no mystery ingredients, no guilt. Just cacao, grown organically, crafted simply, and tasted fully. That is the philosophy behind Mast Market, a Brooklyn-born chocolate maker that has spent over 15 years proving that the cleanest ingredients make the most complex flavors.
We carry Mast Market at M.S Skincare because it fits the same standard we hold for everything in our edit: certified organic, thoughtfully made, and genuinely good for you.
What Makes Chocolate "Clean"
Most commercial chocolate is loaded with emulsifiers, artificial vanilla, refined sugars, and dairy from undisclosed sources. Mast Market strips all of that away. Every bar is certified organic, vegan, kosher, and gluten free. The ingredient lists are short by design. What you taste is cacao, in its most honest form.
This matters because cacao is not just a treat. It is one of the most mineral-dense foods on the planet, rich in magnesium, iron, and antioxidants. When you remove the noise, you can actually taste and feel the difference.
The Bars Worth Knowing
Organic Dark Chocolate 80% Cacao — $8
The darkest bar in the Mast lineup. Smooth and complex with notes of berries, bergamot, and sourdough. Least sugar, most cacao. For those who take their chocolate seriously.
Organic Dark Chocolate 70% Cacao — $8
Rich and timeless, with the rounded warmth of a dark chocolate ganache. A touch sweeter than the 80%, which makes it the everyday bar. Fruit-forward, elegantly balanced.
Organic Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt — $8
A customer favorite for over 15 years. The sea salt is hand harvested off the coast of Maine, mineral-rich and perfectly placed against the smooth 70% base. Tanzanian cacao, fruit-forward and bright. This one is hard to put down.
Organic Dark Chocolate with Almonds and Sea Salt — $8
California almonds, roasted and chopped, enrobed in Mast's signature dark chocolate and finished with sea salt. Crunchy and smooth in equal measure. A beloved recipe that came back by popular demand.
Organic Oat Milk Chocolate 50% Cacao — $8
Creamy, flavor-forward, never too sweet. Notes of caramel, strawberries, and cream. This is the vegan milk chocolate that actually delivers. Made with simple, clean ingredients and built to please.
Organic Oat Milk Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs — $8
Silky oat milk chocolate meets roasted cocoa nibs for crunch and a pop of deep cacao flavor. A modern take on the classic crunch bar. The perfect mid-afternoon ritual.
How We Think About Chocolate at M.S Skincare
We edit carefully. Everything we carry has to earn its place, and Mast Market earned it quickly. Clean ingredients, beautiful packaging, and a flavor profile that rewards attention. It fits the same sensibility as everything else in our store: nourishing, intentional, and made without compromise.
A square of good chocolate is not an indulgence to apologize for. It is a ritual. Slow down, taste it fully, and let it be enough.
