Key Ingredients
7% Coffee Arabica Seed Oil (emulsifier): Green coffee extract skin care fights wrinkles and promotes smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin by eliminating free radicals with antioxidants and increasing collagen production. It also enhances complexion, making the skin more radiant by boosting blood circulation. Additionally, it reduces facial redness and improves skin texture due to its rich fatty acid content, ensuring hydration and a smoother feel.
3% Niacinamide: is the active form of Vitamin B3, known for its safe and non-irritating cosmeceutical properties that can enhance the appearance of aged and photodamaged skin while improving skin moisturization. Clinical studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in improving skin texture, reducing hyperpigmented spots, minimizing redness, and diminishing fine lines. Furthermore, niacinamide stimulates collagen synthesis and ceramide production, potentially strengthening the skin barrier and making it more resilient to external irritants.
2% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate: is a stable Vitamin C ester with antioxidant properties that can protect against UV damage and stimulate collagen production. It also effectively reduces melanin synthesis, promoting a more even skin tone and clarifying the skin. Unlike ascorbic acid, it does not exfoliate or irritate the skin and has been shown to eliminate age spots and enhance the skin's protection against UV-B radiation.

Our signature scent is a custom blend of essential oils beneficial to the skin. The essential oils also give Café Con Leche its signature blue hue. To keep Café Con Leche skin safe, the essential oils are only .24% of the formulation.
Bourbon Geranium: is a versatile essential oil known for its skin-balancing properties, particularly beneficial for problem skin like eczema. It possesses natural anti-inflammatory qualities that enhance the skin's natural radiance and can be included in blends for breakout-prone skin. Additionally, Bourbon Geranium aids in detoxifying the lymphatic system and may assist in reducing cellulite.
Blue Yarrow: associated with Greek mythology and known for its connection to Achilles, is a versatile essential oil with anti-inflammatory properties. It effectively alleviates painful and inflamed conditions, soothes skin irritations like eczema, rashes, insect bites, and burns, and balances oily skin and scalp due to its astringent qualities. Additionally, Yarrow Essential Oil helps relieve muscle spasms, reduces microbial activity, aids in managing fluid retention, and regulates allergic reactions.
German Chamomile: supports overall skin health, aids in wound management and scar healing, and reduces muscle spasms while acting against bacteria, fungus, and viruses. Its anti-inflammatory and cooling properties make it effective for alleviating pain, burns, rashes, and insect bites. Additionally, it is commonly used in cosmetics, perfumes, and various skin and bath products due to its ability to nourish and balance skin oil.
Sea Fennel: offers multiple skin benefits, including softening, pore unclogging, collagen boosting, wrinkle reduction, and improvement in skin tone and texture. It also enhances radiance and helps reduce skin dimples and ripples.
Vanilla: is known for its sweet and comforting fragrance, and it offers potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties that combat skin damage caused by free radicals and can assist in treating acne. Additionally, it helps diminish signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, while restoring skin's brightness and softness. In aromatherapy, Vanilla Absolute is celebrated for its uplifting and de-stressing qualities and remains a popular choice in perfumery.

We understand that for some, fragrance is non-negotiable. So, if that is the case for you, despite missing the essential oils, the benefits of Café Con Leche are still unmatched. When you pick this option, you will receive our signature scent bottle with a distinct Fragrance-Free Sticker. The moisturizer will also lack our signature blue hue. Instead, your cream will be a cream white color.
