What is Revive CofFoam™?

Revive CofFoam™ is a natural anionic surfactant derived from upcycled spent coffee grounds. It offers a sustainable and effective alternative to traditional surfactants.

Developed by Revive Eco, CofFoam™ is extracted through a patented process that transforms coffee oil into a high-performance surfactant suitable for personal care and home care applications.

The Science Behind Revive CofFoam™

CofFoam™ is formed from the potassium salts of fatty acids, prepared by the hydrolysis of coffee oil extracted from Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora seeds.

The resulting liquid surfactant is free from synthetic additives, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious brands seeking plant-based, biodegradable, and ethically sourced ingredients.
