Coffee Silverskin for Skin Protection

Published: 19-Mar-2024

SLVR’Coffee is based on upcycled coffee silverskin to moisturize and comfort dry skin

It protects the epidermis from internal and external stressors as well as transepidermal water loss, resulting in improved skin barrier function. Therefore, SLVR’Coffee™ enhances the overall comfort level of delicate skin.

Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world with a strong wellbeing and mood-boosting effect. As a result of the high level of coffee consumption worldwide, 200 – 400 million kg of coffee silverskin are generated annually as the main by-product during the roasting process and most of it is simply discarded. Mibelle Biochemistry’s waste solution is the upcycled high-value SLVR’Coffee™ ingredient, which contains recovered valuable molecules from coffee to benefit the skin.

Several in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that the activity of SLVR’Coffee™:

  • Increases the skin’s response to oxidative stressand improves skin barrier functionality
  • Reduces the inflammatory response
  • Protects the skin from acute and long-term external irritations
  • Induced by chemicals
  • Improves skin hydration, resulting in a less dry and scaly appearance of the skin.

In the same way that the thin coffee silverskin envelops and protects the delicate coffee bean, SLVR’Coffee protects the skin from dehydration and potential skin aggressors by supporting the skin barrier function. This is a new biomimicry concept from Mibelle Biochemistry – inspired by nature, realized by science.
