Coffee Orange Soap

In the Coffee Orange Soap, the coffee grounds contained provide gentle exfoliation while reducing odors. The base of olive and coconut oil moisturizes and nourishes the skin, orange oil gives the fresh, tangy scent.

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in Germany, correspondingly much coffee grounds accrue annually: several million tons, most of which is thrown away. Much too bad, thought the founders of Coffeecycle, who as baristas had to dispose of several kilos of the valuable raw material every day. After all, coffee grounds can not only be used for a wide variety of purposes in the home and garden, for example as a nutrient-rich fertilizer, as an odor remover or scouring agent, but thanks to the caffeine they contain (6 mg/g) they are also an effective additive in hair conditioners, shampoos and creams. The coffee grounds themselves are ideal for environmentally friendly exfoliation. Thus, the idea to recycle the precious waste and use it in cosmetic products was born. The coffee grounds Coffeecycle obtains from Hamburg cafes, from where it is picked up by cargo bike - as, incidentally, everything else is transported by cargo bike.
