What It Does
Green Coffee Bean Extract is derived from unroasted coffee beans (Coffea arabica or robusta), preserving high concentrations of chlorogenic acids and caffeine that would otherwise be degraded during roasting. This 10:1 concentrated powder extract standardized to 50% caffeine content delivers potent antioxidant activity from polyphenols alongside caffeine's vasoconstrictive and lipolytic properties. Formulators favor this ingredient for anti-cellulite, firming, and de-puffing applications, particularly in eye care and body contouring products, as it combines the metabolic-stimulating effects of caffeine with the protective benefits of chlorogenic acids in a stable, water-soluble format.
