No caffeine, same performance; ideal for gentle skincare

Incicellar is proud to partner with Caffe Inc, pioneers in upcycled coffee ingredients, to bring you EspressOil® Light a refined, sustainable coffee seed oil created from upcycled spent coffee grounds.

Designed specifically for modern cosmetic formulations, EspressOil® Light offers all the skincare benefits of coffee oil with a lighter colour, neutral aroma and fast-absorbing texture. Free from caffeine while retaining its naturally occurring antioxidants, this versatile ingredient is ideal for formulators creating elegant facial, body, hair and lip care products.

By transforming spent coffee grounds into a high-value cosmetic ingredient, EspressOil® Light supports a circular economy while reducing waste making it an excellent choice for brands committed to sustainable and environmentally conscious beauty.

Why Choose EspressOil® Light?

Unlike traditional coffee oils, EspressOil® Light is carefully deodorised and decolourised to provide greater formulation flexibility without compromising performance. The result is a lightweight, refined oil that blends seamlessly into a wide variety of cosmetic applications.

Naturally rich in tocopherols (Vitamin E), polyphenols and beneficial fatty acids, this upcycled coffee oil helps protect the skin against oxidative stress while supporting the skin barrier and delivering lasting moisturisation.

Containing 160 mg/kg of polyphenols, EspressOil® Light offers antioxidant levels that match and even exceed argan oil (152 mg/kg), while significantly outperforming palm oil (70 mg/kg), providing formulators with a more sustainable alternative without sacrificing efficacy.
