Coffee Skincare: Why We Love the Synergy of Clean Coffee + Non-Toxic Skincare

Coffee lovers rejoice! Our coffee skincare is here to join your non-toxic skincare lineup. (Psst: you don’t have to love coffee to love it on your skin.)

Excessive caffeine intake may not be the answer to reduced stress or glowing skin. But don’t rule out the benefits of coffee for skin applied topically. ;)

We’ve been working on a special collaboration. It blends the synergistic power of pure, clean coffee beans and one of our most popular formulations. The result: non-toxic + regenerative coffee skincare. 

We’ve known for a long time that coffee belonged in our family of non-toxic skincare products. But we didn’t want to source any coffee. 

We wanted to ensure the brand aligned with our company values and ethos. Our partner, Holistic Roasters, is the perfect solution. Their beans provide all the coffee goodness your skin craves. But they do so without compromising quality or consideration for the planet. Their 100% certified organic and biodynamic coffee beans elevate your results. Think: grounding coffee aromas and the potent topical benefits of coffee for skin. 

Before we talk about the benefits of coffee skincare, let’s introduce you to Holistic Roasters.

Our Partner in Crafting Non-Toxic + Clean Coffee Skincare: Holistic Roasters

In theory, adding coffee to natural skincare sounds great, right? Unfortunately, coffee is often produced in a mono-crop model that damages the environment. It’s also one of the most highly sprayed + contaminated crops, especially with mold. 

So upholding our soil-to-skin values was essential. We needed to find the cleanest + most aligned coffee partner to source our beans. 

Did you know that 67% of Americans drink coffee daily?1 Holistic Roasters understands that mass consumption means an opportunity for a positive impact. They’re setting a new standard in the coffee industry with responsible farming and production practices. 

Holistic Roasters focuses on quality and purity. Here’s how they summed up their mission:

“We focus on sourcing and roasting the best Biodynamic and regeneratively grown coffees in the world. This means we cultivate a personal and equitable relationship with farmers, a passionate dedication to best practices, an obsession with amplifying the beauty of each bean, and an earnest excitement in celebrating the benefits of this process.”

They’re helping fight for better farming practices and standards. Their coffee is certified organic and biodynamic. Biodynamic practices go a step further than sustainability or pesticide-free farming. With farming practices similar to regenerative farming, they utilize ancestral wisdom and a focus on soil health. 

Their biodynamic and sustainable practices include: 

• Crop rotation
• Composting
• Animal integration
• Planting with lunar cycles
• Self-sustaining systems with harmony among plants, animals, and soil
• Zero synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or fertilizers
• Working with family-run farms (also providing income for families)
• Sourcing recyclable bags
• Roasting twice a week for freshness + quality
• Only selling the most recent coffee harvest

Their farming practices support the ecosystem through healthy soil. Healthy soil creates resilient and nutrient-dense crops and more carbon and water capture. Most importantly, it creates safe + clean coffee to drink. Or, in this case, coffee skincare. ;)

With the prevalence of mold in coffee, we love that their coffee is also third-party tested for: 

• Mycotoxins
• Heavy metals
• Biological contaminants

Holistic Roasters have deemed their coffee “no compromise coffee.” This nickname speaks for itself. It’s the perfect partnership for our coffee skincare formulation. 

Coffee Benefits for Skin 

Coffee is packed with antioxidants, caffeine, and beneficial compounds.2 Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is one of the most prevalent antioxidants. It’s responsible for many topical benefits of coffee. And since we know caffeine can act on a cellular level, this offers incredible potential for skin.3

 Packed with beneficial compounds and components, coffee applied topically can:

• Act as a natural “constrictor,” helping reduce excess water/puffiness4 
• Improve circulation and blood flow, aiding in nutrient delivery + toxin removal5
• Neutralize + repair free radical damage
• Soften signs of aging + help prevent premature aging
• Help increase collagen synthesis
• Reduce oxidative stress + photo-aging6 
• Provide sun protective properties against UVB rays7 
• Reduce inflammation
• Brighten and reduce redness4
• Improve dark undereye circles
• Help with acne through antibacterial properties5 
• Support efficient wound-healing6
• Provide tightening and firming qualities8

But we didn’t stop with the addition of regular roasted coffee. The benefits of coffee for skin are further amplified in green coffee. Green coffee contains even more dense volumes of CGA and antioxidants.9 This is why you’ll find both green coffee oil and powder in our coffee skincare. 

Plus, the natural stimulant properties of coffee applied topically make coffee skincare a no-brainer. ;)

Indulge in Coffee Skincare With Our Coffee Mask

With many of the same benefits in our other face masks, our coffee face mask takes things to the next level. Trust us on this: its potent aromatics and rejuvenating antioxidants are unlike any other facial mask you’ve tried.

→ Benefits of our Coffee Face Mask:

• Provides gentle enzymatic exfoliation
• Reveals clearer, calmer, and softer skin
• Nourishes with potent minerals, antioxidants, and fatty acids
• Balances oil production
• Restores moisture
• Promotes youthful, firm skin
• Awakens a tired complexion
• Improves texture and tone  
• Speeds up skin-healing 
• Reduces inflammation

→ Ingredient highlights: 

As a natural enzymatic exfoliator, honey helps nudge cell turnover, revealing radiant skin. It’s a humectant that locks in moisture while encouraging and improving healing. It also calms inflammation and provides antibacterial protection.

This pure clay helps detox and purify skin, refining texture without drying. It stimulates cell renewal, while its silica content improves elasticity. It’s also chock full of natural skin-loving minerals.  

This extremely fine ground provides more surface area to spread all its benefits. And, of course, indulgent aromas. ;)

*Note: The coffee grounds are present to provide an indulgent aromatherapy experience rather than an exfoliating scrub. Trust the gentle refinement properties of raw honey + natural clay to take care of the light exfoliation your skin needs.

This beneficial trio helps stimulate collagen and firm skin. The caffeine content wakes tired skin. The fatty acids, vitamins, and nutrients help repair sun damage + deeply regenerate skin. 

This essential oil blend is like a warm hug. Vanilla and orange enhance its sweetness and depth. The zesty organic ginger hydrosol balances sweetness with warming, soothing, and uplifting properties. 

Experience the benefits of coffee for skin with this expertly formulated coffee face mask. Maybe you skip your morning coffee and opt for an at-home facial before heading into the office for a busy day. Or choose to indulge in this ritual at night, and coffee becomes a welcomed part of your PM routine. It’s a perfect grounding skin + mood boost sans cortisol-hiking caffeine.
