Coffland Corp: Use Coffee for Your Skin Care

Yes, it exists. Use your ground coffee to take care of your skin!

It is said that some people's garbage is someone else's treasure. It's the same with coffee. According to the barista's advice, once the coffee has been brewed, it loses all its properties and should not be used again. But they're wrong!

The brewed coffee has other uses. Gardeners consider it to be an excellent fertilizer and insect repellent. Veterinarians recommend using brewed coffee to protect our pets from fleas and scabies. But now, in today's post, you'll discover another use of coffee that you never imagine before.

Optiat: an entrepreneur story about coffee

Years ago, Anna and William Brightman received an espresso machine for Christmas. They prepare all the drinks they imagine but never expected that they had to throw away all of that coffee scrub.

One day, William thought about the brewed coffee that was throw away daily by every coffee shop. Because of that, he started to study all the possibilities to take advantage of the wasted coffee that, also, will contribute to ecology.

That's how the Brightman's big eco-friendly project was born. Their philosophy was the circular economy: "keeping things in use as long as possible before restoring them at the end of their lives." Optiat, they're the nature-friendly beauty company, which use coffee scrubs to create skin care hydrating creams and exfoliant masks.

Optiat is an acronym for ‘one person’s trash is another’s treasure,’ the most accurate metaphor that resumes their coffee story! According to Brightman siblings, caffeine has an anti-aging agent that boost the blood flow and minimize the effects of skin conditions such as acne, eczema, cellulite and stretch marks.

You can find Optiat products on the beauty market. From after shower exfoliant creams until spread-and-go to a date, every tube of Optiat has a reference to their masterpiece ingredient. The best part? Your skin won't smell like the coffee scrubs because the creams have its own fresh fragrance like lemon, orange or mint.

At Coffland Corp, we take advantage of every coffee bean. Also, we believe in the potential of this gift of nature, besides of being a delicious drink. Share with us your coffee-made skin mask in our social media!
