Relevant Challenges
Waste Management
The world drinks 2.25 billion cups of coffee daily. There are many ways to upcycle this waste stream, but only ours solves a multi-billion people problem – low-level skin inflammation that is causing skin aging
Biomaterials
Only 1% of coffee bean chemistry goes into the cup. Remaining 99% has more to tell – including the mixture of free-form diterpenes, phytosterols and tocopherols that have known ability to heal inflammaging, the skin aging root cause. Our competitors ferment and synthesize their molecules – we recover ours from renewable and sustainable source of feedstock
Food Waste
Instant coffee and ready-to-drink coffee factories generate massive streams of spent coffee grounds. We upcycle it into premium cosmetics active to tackle skin aging root cause
