Coffee powder is the ground seed of Coffea arabica, declared as an abrasive in CosIng1. It is not caffeine, which is an isolated molecule. Data specific to the powder are rare: one study on spent coffee grounds scrubs measures skin barrier tolerance2, and the reviews on cosmetic coffee rely mostly on laboratory work34.
Entry from our cosmetic ingredient glossary. Regulatory data from the European Commission's CosIng database1. Copy the identifiers in one click for your files.
Each result shows the protocol and the level of evidence. The higher the level, the better the result carries over to a finished formula.
The ointment-based scrub showed no significant change in the skin barrier. The aqueous scrubs (cream and gel at 5%) disrupted it temporarily, with full recovery within 6 h after a hand cream2.
In the laboratory, the extracts show antioxidant, anti-aging and photoprotective activities. In humans, trials are small and short, with modest improvements in hydration, elasticity and barrier function. The authors judge the evidence insufficient to make these products an evidence-based reference3.
The review lists caffeine, chlorogenic acids and flavonoids. The leaves contain more of some phenolic compounds than the beans. The authors call for clinical trials to validate the benefits4.
The review examines intentionally added microbeads, microplastics released by packaging and substances of concern in personal care products, then makes recommendations to reduce the impact5.
Formulators are adapting their products to current and future legislation aimed at eliminating microplastics. The review also describes sustainable solutions to replace them6.
Regulation (EU) 2023/2055 adds to REACH a restriction on synthetic polymer microparticles, with phased information obligations. A substance being natural is among the criteria that allow it to be excluded from the definition7. A ground seed powder is a plant material; the exact scope and timelines by product type should be checked in the text of the regulation.
This page summarizes published literature on a cosmetic ingredient. It does not describe the effect of a finished product, which depends on its formula, and it is not medical advice. We found no controlled trial on coffee powder alone. The reviews cited mostly cover coffee extracts, not the exfoliating powder: their results do not transfer to a scrub.
Our white label catalog includes 4 formulas with coffee powder: the key active in 3 of them, a supporting ingredient in the others. Every category can be customized (formula, fragrance, packaging).
Scalp scrubs and detox pre-shampoo scrub, where the exfoliating coffee powder is often paired with caffeine.
Three abrasive plant powders and a molecule with a similar name. The table describes the material declared in CosIng, not an efficacy ranking.
