## Green Coffee Oil for Face & Skin

Green coffee oil brings a rich, slightly waxy feel to face oils, balms and dry hair
ends. Cold-pressed from unroasted Coffea arabica beans, it has a grassy, herbal 
scent rather than the aroma of brewed coffee. Start with a drop or two, or blend
it into your usual moisturizer for easier application.

## Benefits and uses

 * Rich, slightly waxy texture for face-care and balm blends.
