Upcycled Coffee Booster is a multifunctional, high-performance and sustainable innovation for advanced beauty formulations, enriched with stabilised Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, Caffeine and Vitamin E.

Booster IN-Key is an innovative booster formulation created by infusing multiple active ingredients into our upcycled coffee oil. This sustainable cosmetic ingredient saves time, reduces costs and removes unnecessary processing steps, offering formulators a ready to use, high-performance option in their formulations.

Rich in antioxidants, hydrating compounds and naturally occurring bioactive agents, Booster IN-Key helps to:
• Improve absorption of key nutrients
• Enhance skin radiance, elasticity and barrier repair
• Support scalp and hair health
• Reduce the need for additional additives in formulations

As an antioxidant-rich booster, it combines multifunctional activities into one powerful and sustainable ingredient, making it an ideal choice for indie brands and formulators seeking effective, eco-conscious ingredients.

Rich in essential fatty acids and caffeine, upcycled coffee oil nourishes and strengthens the skin barrier, locks in moisture, improves elasticity, stimulates microcirculation, reduces puffiness, and provides antioxidant protection for healthy, resilient skin.

Ferulic acid is a potent antioxidant that protects skin from free radicals, supports collagen and elastin, enhances the effectiveness of vitamins C and E, brightens skin tone, reduces fine lines, and soothes inflammation.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA) is a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C that brightens skin, supports collagen production, delivers powerful antioxidant protection, and penetrates deeply for enhanced radiance and firmness.

Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental stressors, soothes irritation, and supports healthy, nourished skin

Applications:
Face masks
Moisturisers
Hydrating toners
Serums
Body care
Suncare
Eye creams and oils

Ferulic Acid- Ferulic Acid is a powerful antioxidant naturally sourced from rice, making it 100% plant-derived, palm-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. With its origins in nature, this ingredient offers a sustainable and ethical option for skincare formulations, providing protection against oxidative stress while supporting skin health. Its natural sourcing ensures purity and effectiveness.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA) – Stable, Oil-Soluble Vitamin C Derivative

The Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA) in this oil is produced using non-GMO, corn-derived ascorbic acid combined with synthetic isopalmitoyl chloride, a lab-made fatty acid derivative that is not sourced from palm. This results in a pure, oil-soluble Vitamin C compound that is completely free from palm oil and its derivatives, including palmitic acid from palm sources.

Free from:
• GMO
• Nanoparticles
• CMR substances
• BSE/TSE
• SVHC
• Fragrance allergens
• Food allergens
• Gluten
• Soy
• Pesticides
• Palm oil
• Irradiation
• PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons)

THDA is a highly stable and effective form of Vitamin C, offering strong antioxidant activity while supporting collagen production, brightening skin tone, and improving overall radiance. Its oil-soluble nature allows for deeper penetration into the skin compared to water-soluble Vitamin C forms, making it a versatile choice for advanced formulations.

Big LOVE

We have been working with the Upcycled Coffee Booster in our facial oil formulations, and it has quickly become one of those rare ingredients that delivers both exceptional performance and outstanding customer feedback.

From a formulator’s perspective, this booster is impressive in its intelligent simplicity. By infusing stabilised Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate), Ferulic Acid, Caffeine and Vitamin E directly into upcycled coffee seed oil, it removes the need for multiple separate actives while maintaining high efficacy. This not only streamlines formulations, but also ensures excellent stability, compatibility and ease of use.

In use, the ingredient performs beautifully. The oil absorbs well, feels refined rather than heavy, and delivers visible improvements in skin radiance, elasticity and overall skin quality. Customers consistently report that their skin feels stronger, calmer and more resilient, with a noticeable glow over time. The antioxidant combination of THDA, Ferulic Acid and Tocopherol clearly supports skin under daily environmental stress, while caffeine and the essential fatty acids from the coffee oil help improve microcirculation, reduce puffiness and support barrier repair.

What stands out most is the balance between potency and tolerance. Despite containing a high-performance antioxidant system, the booster is gentle enough for regular use and works particularly well in facial oils, serums and eye products. We have seen excellent results on skin that is dull, tired, dehydrated or showing early signs of ageing, without the irritation sometimes associated with more aggressive vitamin C systems.

Beyond performance, the sustainability profile is genuinely meaningful. The use of upcycled coffee oil, combined with a palm-free, vegan and microplastic-free formulation, aligns seamlessly with modern clean and conscious beauty values. Knowing that the THDA is produced from non-GMO corn-derived ascorbic acid and free from palm oil derivatives further strengthens its appeal for both brands and consumers.

Overall, the Upcycled Coffee Booster is a smart, multifunctional ingredient that delivers visible results, simplifies formulation work and meets high ethical and sustainability standards. Based on both our internal experience and the consistently positive customer feedback, it is an ingredient we consider a true high-performance staple for modern facial oil and antioxidant-focused skincare formulations.
