Green coffee bean extract is a powerful anti-aging ingredient rich in chlorogenic acids and antioxidants that protect skin and hair from oxidative stress, collagen breakdown, and premature aging. It helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging by boosting collagen and elastin production, while also brightening skin and reducing hyperpigmentation. In haircare, it stimulates scalp circulation, strengthens follicles, and slows premature graying. However, its bioavailability is limited. Micellar Cosmetics’ Green Micellar™ formulation enhances absorption, stability, and deep penetration, ensuring that green coffee bean extract delivers maximum rejuvenation, hydration, and long-lasting anti-aging benefits for both skin and hair.
Green Coffee Bean Extract
Green coffee bean extract, derived from unroasted coffee beans, is renowned for its abundance of antioxidants and bioactive compounds. While commonly linked to weight loss supplements, this extract also holds promise for enhancing hair health through various benefits:
