Coffee CO₂ Extract(Coffea arabica)

Coffee CO₂ Extract is a premium botanical oil derived from roasted coffee beans using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. This gentle, solvent-free method preserves the full aromatic profile of the plant, resulting in a clean, concentrated extract with depth and warmth.

Unlike traditional essential oils, this extract carries both aromatic and lipid components, giving it a richer body and a longer-lasting presence in blends. It brings a smooth, roasted coffee note that pairs beautifully with resins, woods, florals, and gourmand compositions.

Ideal for perfumery, oil blending, and cosmetic formulations, it adds a sense of depth, warmth, and quiet indulgence to any creation.

Science & Extraction

This oil is produced using supercritical CO₂ extraction, a modern method that uses pressurised carbon dioxide to gently extract aromatic and beneficial compounds from the coffee bean.

Unlike steam distillation, this process operates at lower temperatures, preserving delicate components that would otherwise be lost. The result is a more complete representation of the plant — closer to the natural scent of freshly roasted coffee.

Because CO₂ extracts contain both volatile and heavier plant compounds, they are typically richer and more viscous than essential oils, with a longer-lasting aroma on the skin.

  • Extraction Method: Supercritical CO₂
  • INCI: Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Oil
  • Appearance: Dark amber to brown liquid
  • Solubility: Oil soluble
Skin Types

Coffee CO₂ Extract is a rich, conditioning botanical oil that works best as part of a blend. Its smooth texture and antioxidant profile make it particularly suited to skin that benefits from nourishment, softness, and a more refined appearance.

Dry Skin
Helps restore softness and comfort to dry, depleted skin. Blends well into facial oils and balms where a richer texture is desired.

Mature Skin
Well suited to mature skin, where its antioxidant content and emollient nature help support a smoother, more supple-looking finish. Best used as part of a balanced oil blend.

Dull or Tired Skin
The naturally warm, active profile of coffee can help improve the appearance of tired-looking skin, leaving it looking more refreshed and revitalised.

Normal / Combination Skin
Can be used in small amounts within lighter blends to add depth and a smooth, luxurious feel without overwhelming the skin.

Oily or Blemish-Prone Skin
Use with care. While suitable in low concentrations, richer oils may feel heavy on oily skin types. Best blended with lighter carrier oils.

Blending Companions
