Energize tired skin and hair with Biochemica® Coffee Butter - the perfect ingredient for a wide range of applications including shampoo and bar soap! To create higher oxidation stability than coffee oil itself, this ingredient is blended with Prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil and Coffea arabica (coffee) seed oil, obtained via a specific cold pressing process of roasted coffee beans (seeds). The result is a smooth and elegant skin-feel.
