Kaffe Bueno is thrilled to announce that its latest innovation, KLEANSTANT®, an upcycled bio-based anionic surfactant derived from coffee by-products, has won the Bronze Award in the Best New Ingredient category at the prestigious Pure Beauty Awards UK 2024. The awards ceremony took place on the 24th of October, celebrating the year’s most remarkable advancements in beauty and personal care.
As the first of its kind in the personal care industry, KLEANSTANT® exemplifies Kaffe Bueno’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. Developed to provide an eco-friendly and gentle alternative for cleansing and personal care formulations, KLEANSTANT® harnesses the natural cleansing and emulsifying properties of potassium salts of coffee fatty acids, enriched with bioactive antioxidants such as polyphenols, tocopherols, and diterpene esters. This unique formulation ensures a mild, moisturising effect suitable for all skin types and offers a sustainable substitute for conventional surfactants, supporting Kaffe Bueno’s mission to reduce environmental impact.
“We are honoured to receive this recognition from Pure Beauty UK, an award that acknowledges not only the innovation behind KLEANSTANT® but also the growing demand for sustainable and effective ingredients in the beauty industry,” said Alejandro Franco, Chief Commercial Officer at Kaffe Bueno. “This accolade reflects the dedication of our team to upcycle coffee by-products into high-performance ingredients that offer both environmental benefits and exceptional functionality.”
