What is Roasted Coffee Oil?

Roasted Coffee Oil is a rich, amber to dark brown oil extracted from used coffee grounds collected in the Netherlands. This circular raw material contains surprisingly many valuable components. Through a mild and energy-efficient extraction process, without organic solvents, the natural coffee aroma and the complete spectrum of bioactive substances are preserved.

The scent is intense and warm: think freshly ground espresso, cocoa, soft caramel and a subtle nutty edge. This makes the oil immediately beloved in body oils, aromatic care products and invigorating morning rituals.

Because the oil comes from used coffee grounds, it naturally contains caffeine, polyphenols, linoleic acid (omega 6), oleic acid (omega 9), palmitic acid and vitamin E. This composition supports the skin barrier, works antioxidant, refines skin texture and helps reduce dullness or fatigue. It is a sustainable alternative to imported coffee extracts and classic plant oils, with a smaller CO₂ footprint and a purely Dutch circular story.

Benefits of Roasted Coffee Oil

Firming and brightening
Caffeine helps activate microcirculation, making the skin look fresher, more awake and firmer.

Rich in antioxidants
Polyphenols and vitamin E protect against free radicals and support the preservation of youthful skin.

Restorative and soothing
Essential fatty acids soften, replenish and support the skin barrier for a more comfortable skin feeling.

Purifying and skin-refining
Caffeine and polyphenols help temper impurities and contribute to a more even complexion.

Smoother for rough areas
Great in body oils for spots like upper arms, knees and thighs. The skin feels noticeably softer.

In low dosages, caffeine can visually soften dark circles and give the eye area a more energetic appearance.

In hair masks or conditioners, this oil nourishes intensely, supports shine and softens a dry or tight scalp.

Why is this oil so special?

Roasted Coffee Oil is made from Dutch coffee waste streams that would otherwise be burned or composted. By upcycling this residual stream, CO₂ emissions are reduced and an undervalued material gets a second life as a high-quality cosmetic ingredient. It not only delivers a rich aromatic oil, but also shows how innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. A full nourishing oil with a clear impact and a circular signature.
