2007 Archives: Body Coffee: Organic Essential Oil-Based Body Care
Rumor has it coffee does for cellulite what Botox does for wrinkles. And in 2002, a Rutgers study found that topical application of caffeine lowered the risk of skin cancer in lab mice. But don’t go hauling the French press into the shower, that’s just plain messy and can clog your pipes. Body Coffee one-ups plain grounds by infusing the entire bathing ritual with coffee-laden products that stimulate the skin and the senses.
We’ve been fans of their Invigorating Body Polish for years since we discovered that a morning scrub with the rosemary- and mint-scented coffee ground concoction wipes out a hangover quicker than Advil. Now Body Coffee’s introduced a handy dandy new TravelSpa set that packs one-ounce versions of the Polish, Body Bar, Body Wash, Lip Balm and Body Lotion (scented with the sweet jasmine-like essence of Coffee Blossom—who knew?) into a zippered travel case, so you can take your spa on the run.
Yes they use organic coffee. Yes they rely on plant-based natural ingredients, food-grade preservatives and essential oils—no petroleum, sodium lauryls or parabens. Yes their packaging is recyclable and no they don’t test on animals.
We just have one question: single or double?
