Common Name(s): Coffee seed oil,cafestol+kahweol diterpenes,anti-aging emollient

CAS Number: 84650-00-0

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides cafestol diterpene antioxidant and anti-tumor emolliency from green coffee seed oil.

Why It's Used: Luxury diterpene emollient oil — coffee seed oil's unique cafestol and kahweol diterpenes provide antioxidant and anti-tumor activities unavailable from other carrier oils alongside a compelling sustainable luxury positioning.

How It Works: Cafestol + kahweol (diterpenes): anti-tumor (phase ii enzyme induction) + antioxidant. linoleic (40-50%): sc barrier. oleic (9-11%): emolliency. green coffee: cold-pressed unroasted. luxury positioning: coffee farm sustainable supply. anti-cellulite: caffeine absent in oil (water-soluble caffeine not in cold-pressed oil).

Typically Found In: Luxury anti-aging facial oil,antioxidant carrier

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Coffee diterpene anti-tumor mechanism via phase ii enzyme induction: cafestol and kahweol upregulate glutathione-s-transferase, nqo1, and udp-glucuronosyltransferase (phase ii detoxification enzymes) — the same nrf2/are pathway activated by sulforaphane and other chemopreventive compounds. this enzyme induction provides indirect antioxidant-anticarcinogen activity through enhanced carcinogen biotransformation.
