Coffee Oil
Coffee Oil is a natural oil extracted from roasted or green coffee beans (Coffea arabica or Coffea canephora) through cold pressing or solvent extraction. It possesses a rich, warm, roasted coffee aroma and is packed with beneficial compounds including caffeine, diterpenes, and antioxidant-rich fatty acids. Due to its emollient and antioxidant properties, it is widely used in cosmetic, aromatherapy, food, and fragrance applications.
Coffee Oil is known to help stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and provide anti-aging support in skincare. Its energizing scent also makes it popular in perfumes and wellness blends. Food-grade versions are used to enhance flavors in gourmet and specialty food products.
