What is coffee butter and why should you use it?
When mentioning coffee, everyone thinks of a drink to help them stay alert every morning. However, from those familiar coffee beans, experts have extracted coffee butter, a smooth, moisturized form of creamy. Coffee butter is often mixed with cocoa butter and natural essential oil to create a skin care product.
According to Dr. Jaishree Sharad, a dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon in Mumbai (India): "Coffee butter is not only a good moisturizer but also helps soothe inflammatory skin, reduce acne and help prevent premature aging".
Many studies have shown that coffee butter has antibacterial properties, which can soothe redness, reduce swelling and support the treatment of acne. For the under-eyed skin, this type of butter also has the effect of reducing dark circles, making the eyes look brighter, especially useful in winter when the skin is often dry.
Antioxidants, even out skin tone and protect skin
A highlight of coffee butter is the content of chlorogenic acid (CGA). This is a compound that can reduce dark, melasma skin, helping to even out skin tone. Research by the Royal Chemical Society (UK) also confirms that coffee extract is beneficial for long-term skin health.
In addition, coffee butter is rich in caffeic acid, a powerful antioxidant. Thanks to that, it supports collagen production, helps the skin to be smooth, and protects skin cells from damage and premature aging.
Combined with moisturizing, antibacterial and antioxidant properties, coffee butter has become a worth considering choice for your daily skin care routine, Dr. Sharad emphasizes.
In addition to moisturizing, coffee butter can be used to naturally exfoliate. When mixed with coffee grounds, it helps remove dead skin layers, promotes regeneration, and brings fresh and healthy skin.

You can apply coffee butter to many steps in your beauty routine:
