Coffee Oil (Green)

INCI: Coffea Arabica Seed Oil

Green Coffee Oil (Refined)
Refined green coffee oil is usually light yellow to pale greenish-yellow with a light, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly into the skin. The refining process reduces the natural aroma, leaving a mild, subtle scent that is slightly nutty.
Green coffee oil is rich in essential fatty acids and other beneficial compounds.

The typical fatty acid profile includes:
Linoleic Acid (Omega-6): ~40-50%
Oleic Acid (Omega-9): ~30-40%
Palmitic Acid: ~20-25%
Stearic Acid: ~1-3%

High in antioxidants, the oil provides deep hydration, making it suitable for dry and mature skin types and the Chlorogenic acid found in green coffee oil may help improve skin tone. It is also valued as an oil to help nourish the scalp and soften hair. 

Green coffee oil is extracted from unroasted (green) coffee beans of the Coffea arabica plant,  harvested before they are roasted, preserving the beneficial compounds that are often reduced during roasting. Beans are cold-pressed to extract the oil, ensuring that its potent antioxidants and fatty acids are retained before undergoing refinement processes to remove impurities, lighten the colour, and reduce the strong coffee aroma, resulting in a more neutral, versatile oil.
