New launch: Phytessence™ Green Coffee EC

The anti-fatigue ritual

Today’s “great exhaustion” is more than just feeling tired. Numbers speak for themselves:

• An article by BBC news stated that 1/5 adults worldwide experience general, persistent fatigue lasting up to six months without underlying pathology and 44% of Americans surveyed by the National Sleep Foundation in 2019 reported feeling sleepy 2 to 4 days/week.
• A survey on mental health in France showed that 23% of adults worldwide are suspected of currently suffering from severe or very severe anxiety, stress or depression (39% among 18–24-year-olds).
• A survey carried by Deloitte Insights on 2100 workers in USA, UK, Canada and Australia in 2022 stated that 43% of them were always or often exhausted.

Chronic stress, long hours, high expectations, digital overload among other causes of fatigue leave some people depleted, struggling to recharge, with very little space to simply be. For many of them, a cup of coffee with loved ones or our favourite colleagues is a small break that makes a great difference. This cherished moment brings a new energy to our days. More than a shot of caffeine, it is a grounding ritual.

Phytessence Green Coffee EC captures that feeling joy, energy, and connection to deliver it to the beauty industry. Manufactured with responsibly sourced organic green coffee beans from Tanzania, our innovative botanical extract offers skin toning properties and supports mood-enhancing claims, making it a smart choice for formulations designed for energising morning beauty routines or quick mid-day reboosts. It adds a feel-good factor that today’s consumers crave (as stated by a Standard Insights article).

A dual action for a positive wake-up call

Quantified in caffeine, Phytessence Green Coffee EC has been designed to help prevent signs of fatigue, both on the skin and the mind, for a harmonious and revitalising overall well-being. Providing a complete anti-fatigue solution, the proven effects of our new ingredient work on two complementary levels.

Improving skin suppleness and resistance

We started from the observation that fatigue has a direct impact on skin: it disrupts the skin's regeneration mechanisms and reduces its elasticity. Stress and tiredness amplify these phenomena, making the skin become less toned, duller and more sensitive to the visible signs of fatigue and premature ageing. Phytessence Green Coffee EC awakens the skin, helping it to regain its tone and resistance.

• Skin elasticity: Thanks to its action on elastin synthesis and clinically proven results, Phytessence Green Coffee EC helps skin regain suppleness and elasticity.
• Anti-fatigue effect: Phytessence Green Coffee EC revitalises tired, stressed skin, improving tone and resilience against signs of fatigue.

Stimulating genuine physical and emotional well-being

Phytessence also provides enhanced well-being, both for skin and mind.

• Boosting effect of beta-endorphin synthesis, a hormone that plays a key role in stress response and mood regulation: Phytessence Green Coffee EC promotes epidermal differentiation to help skin find comfort and balance, while strengthening skin barrier. Our ingredient thus helps the skin regaining optimal comfort and improving its resilience.
• Induction of positive emotions: an evaluation with our EEG and GSR methods reveal that the application of Phytessence Green Coffee EC instantly transforms the emotional states of the participants of our study, to promote positive emotions and make them feel more alert, more energised.

These results highlight the efficacy of Phytessence Green Coffee EC as a neurocosmetics ingredient improving mental wellbeing, reducing stress and providing a real boost for the skin and mind.

Not to forget sustainability

Our new natural ingredient is an extract of Coffea robusta beans, a species richer in caffeine than others. We responsibly source beans from Tanzania (guaranteed origin), where they are organically grown by certified producers, to offer a COSMOS certified extract to the beauty industry.

Phytessence Green Coffee EC is produced in France with our unique Eco-sound™ extraction technology, a process that with has very low energy consumption while having high yield and preserved active efficiency.
