What is Coffee Bean Oil made from?
100% pure Coffea arabica oil, cold pressed from roasted coffee beans, with no additives or dilution.

Does it smell like coffee?
Yes — it has a strong, rich aroma of roasted coffee. The scent comes naturally from the roasted beans and may blend with or be overpowered by any added fragrance, so test before scaling up.

Can I use it in soap making?
Yes, as a specialty oil. It has a saponification value of 180–230 mgKOH/g, and its high linoleic acid content means it's best used at a small percentage of your total oils. Always run your recipe through a soap calculator and trial a small batch first.

Is it suitable for cosmetics and body care?
Yes — it's supplied for cosmetics and personal care formulating, and is soluble in fixed oils and cosmetic esters. Preserve any water-containing formulations appropriately and patch test finished products.

Will it colour my products?
It's a light brown oil, so it can add a gentle warm tint to pale soaps, balms and other formulations, depending on the percentage used.

Is it water soluble?
No. It's insoluble in water and soluble in fixed oils and cosmetic esters, so add it to the oil phase of your recipe.

How should I store it?
Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. If stored for more than 24 months, check the quality before using it.
