What Is CoffeeBerry and What Does It Do?

CoffeeBerry has been the hottest ingredient on the skin care market for the last few years, so I decided to find out a little more about it from Revaléskin, the company who was the first to discover the powerful properties of this unique ingredient.

My first question was, what is a CoffeeBerry and how is it related to coffee?  CoffeeBerry extract is derived from the fruit of the coffee cherry that is harvested in sub-ripe growth stage from a coffee species called coffee arabica that is grown in Ethiopia.  The coffee bean that is used for the coffee that we addictively brew every morning resides within the coffee berry.  Each coffee berry contains two seeds, which are the coffee beans.

The CoffeeBerry extract gets attention because it is extremely rich in antioxidants, which prevents cellular damage in skin.  CoffeeBerry extract has possibly the highest antioxidant recording for any naturally occurring plant and significantly beats out green tea and pomegranate, which have also been popular for their antioxidant power.

Antioxidants are able to slow or prevent the oxidation of other molecules.  Oxidation produces free radicals that damage skin cells, which causes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Antioxidants are an important part of the health care community as they are being studied for their positive effects on different areas of the body.  Skin care researchers are interested in the way that antioxidants can be used to slow the again process of skin and protect it from natural environmental damage.

Revaléskin Replenishing Eye Therapy is one of Revaléskin’s newest products.  It contains 1% of this fabulous CoffeeBerry extract ingredient.  The delicate skin around the eyes is one of the first areas to show signs of aging, so the benefits of CoffeeBerry could definitely be appreciated for this purpose.  I am a big fan of eye cream because I know that puffiness and dark bags can appear when you are still young if you don’t properly treat this delicate skin.  I love that the eye cream is light and doesn’t irritate my eyes when I apply it close to the area where crow’s feet might appear.  I also love that the Eye Therapy contains caffeine and collagen-boosting peptides to reduce puffiness.  I am really excited about these products and am definitely a new CoffeeBerry convert.
