Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Fruit Extract description

Derived from the fruit portion of the Coffea arabica plant, this ingredient is a very good antioxidant when applied to skin (and consumed orally in the popular beverage coffee). Among other antioxidants, coffee is a rich source of ferulic acid. On skin, the extract has been shown to reduce the occurrence of destructive enzymes that lead to signs of ageing as well as help visibly repair signs of sun damage.
