Functions

Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Traditional Use

Coffee has been used in traditional beauty practices, particularly in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures, as an exfoliant and energizing agent. The seeds and grounds were historically used in folk skincare remedies for circulation and skin tone improvement.
