Applications for Cosmetics, Materials and Industrial Use

B2B Industrial Ingredients


CABECO® develops high-purity cosmetic active fractions derived from upcycled coffee biomass for professional cosmetic formulation.

All CABECO® ingredients are developed through eco-design and circular biorefinery processes, ensuring maximum resource valorization and zero-waste production.

Cosmetic Active Fractions

• COFOIL® – lipidic fraction designed for premium cosmetic oils, balms and skin-barrier formulations
• COFEX Ultra® – high-purity micronized coffee fraction for advanced cosmetic formulations
• COFEX Extra® – functional coffee fraction designed for exfoliating and active cosmetic systems

These fractions are produced from upcycled coffee biomass using CABECO® circular extraction technology.
