What It Does
Coffee Extract is derived from roasted coffee beans through aqueous or hydroalcoholic extraction, capturing the bean's rich complex of caffeine, chlorogenic acids, polyphenols, and aromatic compounds. In cosmetics, it's valued for its potent antioxidant properties, ability to reduce puffiness and dark circles through vasoconstriction, and its stimulating effect on microcirculation in skin tissue. Formulators choose it not only for its functional benefits in anti-aging and eye care products, but also for its distinctive aromatic profile that adds a natural coffee scent to formulations.
