SHORT DESCRIPTION & INTERESTING FACTS

  • The Scent Mystery: Green Coffee Bean oil is cold-pressed from raw, unroasted coffee seeds. Because the seeds have not been roasted, the oil retains a fresh, green, herbal scent with very faint to no coffee aroma.
  • Liquid Gold for Puffy Eyes: Highly valued in natural cosmetics for eye care, its circulatory-stimulating properties make it the ultimate natural choice to soothe puffiness, drain fluid, and reduce the appearance of dark circles and under-eye bags.
  • Ultimate Toning & Firming: Known for its firming properties, Green Coffee oil is widely used to tone sagging skin (such as around the oval of the face and double chins) and is a top-tier ingredient in anti-cellulite and lymphatic drainage body massages.
  • Lightweight Sebum Balancer: Despite its rich lipid profile, it has a low comedogenic rating (rating of 2), meaning it functions as a dry oil that balances natural sebum, calms rosacea and redness, and purifies acne-prone skins.

KEY PROPERTIES & BENEFITS

For the Skin:
  • Comedogenic Rating: 2 (Hardly comedogenic; does not clog pores, making it suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone and problematic skin).
  • Powerful Antioxidant: Extremely rich in natural antioxidants and Vitamin E, shielding skin from environmental damage and fighting wrinkles.
  • Toning & Firming: Dramatically boosts circulation to tone saggy or loose areas, refining contours and supporting skin elasticity.
  • Calming & Anti-Inflammatory: Deeply repairs, moisturizes, and calms highly reactive skin, rosacea, redness, and damaged skin barriers.
  • Under-Eye Treatment: Outstanding at minimizing puffiness, swelling, bags, and dark circles.
For the Hair & Scalp:
  • Scalp Revitalization: Stimulates microcirculation in the scalp, calming itches and maintaining a healthy environment for follicle density.
  • Strengthens & Conditons: Adds a gorgeous sheen to dry, brittle hair, beards, and moustaches, stimulating strong, healthy growth.

  • External Use Only: This cold-pressed virgin oil is intended for cosmetic, topical applications only and must not be taken internally.
