A coffee in the morning - for the skin
Phytessence Green Coffee EC from Croda is designed to wake up tired skin
With Phytessence Green Coffee EC, the traditional British company Croda has developed a new plant-based active ingredient that is intended to bring the revitalising feeling of a first morning coffee to cosmetics. The natural, neuro-cosmetic ingredient was developed by Croda Beauty Botanicals and is made from organic green coffee beans from Tanzania, the company reports. It is said to firm the skin and refresh the mind. "Its dual action makes it an ally against fatigue - be it in the morning or for an energy boost in the middle of the day," emphasises Croda in a statement.
Tiredness - a beauty problem
In various surveys and studies, respondents state that they often feel tired and exhausted, argues Croda. The reasons for this include chronic stress, long working hours, digital overload and other causes. Many people find it difficult to recharge their batteries and hardly have any time for themselves. For many, however, a cup of coffee is a little break that grounds them. Phytessence Green Coffee EC is rich in caffeine and brings this feeling of joy, energy and connection to beauty care. The mood-enhancing effects of green coffee beans have a positive impact on the skin, as tiredness disrupts its regeneration mechanisms and reduces its elasticity. Stress and fatigue make the skin saggier, duller and more susceptible to signs of tiredness and ageing. Phytessence Green Coffee EC helps the skin to restore its elasticity and resistance, says Croda.
Scientifically confirmed stimulant
Different measurement methods using electroencephalography (EEG) and galvanic skin response (GSR) had confirmed that the use of Phytessence Green Coffee EC immediately changed the emotional states of the study participants, promoting positive emotions and making them feel more alert and energised. The natural ingredient is an extract from Coffea robusta beans, a more caffeine-rich species than other coffee beans. They are grown organically by certified producers in Tanzania in order to offer a COSMOS-certified extract. The active ingredient is produced in France using Croda's proprietary Eco-sound extraction technology, a low energy consumption, high yield process.
