What Is Kola Nut Extract?
Kola nut extract is derived from the seeds of Cola acuminata, traditionally used in Africa for its stimulating properties. The nuts contain caffeine, theobromine, and other xanthines.
In skincare, kola nut provides stimulating effects that enhance circulation and help reduce puffiness. The caffeine content makes it effective in eye and body treatments.
The extract helps energise tired, fatigued skin and can support the appearance of firmer skin.
