CaffiCell
CaffiCell is an innovative ingredient derived from spent coffee grounds through an upcycling and biorefinery process. This approach aligns with the principles of the circular economy, promoting the efficient use of natural resources and sustainability.
CaffiCell is rich in bioactive compounds, including caffeine, chlorogenic acid, catechin, theophylline, theobromine, and tannins.
This unique blend of bioactive components gives CaffiCell its properties:
Potent Antioxidant Activity: Neutralizes free radicals, protecting the skin from oxidative stress.
Enhanced Microcirculation: Stimulates blood flow, promoting skin oxygenation and reducing puffiness.

Transforming Waste into Beauty: The Power of Spent Coffee Grounds
After enjoying your delicious cup of freshly brewed coffee, the spent coffee grounds are often discarded in the waste bin. However, this seemingly waste material is incredibly rich in bioactive molecules that offer numerous benefits for skin health.
Using our specialized extraction process, we transform spent coffee grounds into a potent ingredient, CaffiCell, which is packed with caffeine, plant phenolic compounds, and tannins.
