Topical Antioxidants: Coffeeberry Extract

Coffeberry Extract only recently burst onto the antioxidant scene. Studies on the Coffeeberry as a topical antioxidant were reported to the American Academy of Dermatology at its 2006 annual meeting. In mid-2007, Steifel Labs launched its Coffeeberry skin treatment line Revaléskin.



There is evidence of the bioavailability of Coffeeberry Extract as well. One study, conducted at the Institute of Anti-Aging Research in Virginia, reported that Coffeberry Extract significantly improved the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without allergic reaction or skin irritation.



Dermatologist Ken Beer, director of Palm Beach Esthetic, was quoted in the December issue of WebMD: the Magazine as saying that he’s seen the science and is impressed. “I think this is going to be a major cosmeceutical ingredient.” Coffeeberry is definitely something to watch this year.
