The power of coffee, sustainably used
Coffee has long been a beloved part of our morning routine, but did you know that only 20% of the coffee bean ends up in your cup, while the remaining 80% gets wasted?
Thankfully, coffee is an amazing ingredient for cosmetics! And not just any coffee: at Caffe Inc., we use coffee grounds that would otherwise be thrown away. The result? Less waste and high-quality ingredients that are great for your skin and hair. Our coffee oil is extracted from used coffee grounds. It’s rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, meaning it intensely hydrates your skin, promotes healing, has anti-inflammatory properties, and protects against environmental stressors. Additionally, the fine grains of coffee scrub act as a natural exfoliant, leaving your skin soft and radiant by removing dead skin cells and stimulating circulation.
Why upcycled coffee ingredients?
Globally, millions of kilos of coffee grounds are discarded each year. This is a waste, as coffee has so much potential, even after you’ve enjoyed a delicious cup. By reusing these valuable raw materials, we not only reduce waste but also lessen the strain on our natural resources. Instead of growing new ingredients, we turn something that would otherwise go to waste into a sustainable and nourishing beauty product.
The benefits for your skin
What makes coffee ingredients so special for the skin? Here are a few benefits:
+ Exfoliation: Coffee grounds work as a gentle yet effective scrub that renews your skin without causing damage.
+ Hydration: Thanks to the natural fatty acids in coffee oil, your skin is intensely nourished and hydrated, resulting in a healthy, glowing complexion
+ Anti-aging: Coffee oil is rich in antioxidants, which help combat skin aging. By protecting the skin from damage caused by UV rays and pollution, coffee oil helps repair visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, coffee oil promotes collagen production, and the vitamin E in the oil improves skin elasticity.
+ Circulation: Caffeine stimulates blood circulation, which can help promote a more energized, fresh appearance, and it even reduces cellulite – what more could we want?!
Short story: a true miracle ingredient!
Why choose upcycled coffee ingredients in cosmetics?
By choosing products that use upcycled coffee, like the Coffee Scrub Cleanse Bar, you’re making a conscious choice for both your skin and the planet, and you’re contributing to a circular economy. Instead of wasting precious resources on new raw materials, we make use of what’s already available – and give it new life. This is not only a powerful statement for sustainability, but it also delivers proven benefits for your skin.
So, the next time you use the Coffee Scrub Cleanse Bar, you can feel good knowing that your skin is benefiting from natural, powerful ingredients while you’re also contributing to a more sustainable world. A win-win, right?
