To manage puffiness around the eyes, 5ml of the above combination can be mixed with 5 drops of water, to be patted around the eyes and left for up to 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Keep the oils out of eyes and other orifices/openings.

Coffee oil blended with argan oil, or another oil such as jojoba, grapeseed can be worked generously into the hair, and left for a couple of hours before washing out with clean water.
Inhalation and diffusion: Coffee oil aroma is intoxicating and imparts an uplifting and warm feeling. Coffee aroma can lift your mood and reduce anxiety and stress.

Additional information:
Aadrea Coffee oil is packaged in durable aluminium cans or labelled amber bottles with a dropper. Alternative packaging and seals will be specified as they become available.
Essential oils are volatile and lose their potency when exposed for long periods to oxygen and direct sunlight. Store the oil in its original sealed container, in a cool and dark space.
Our essential oils, oleoresins, absolutes and hydrosols have been made using an ideal and chemical neutral /free process of either steam distillation, cold press and supercritical extraction. The purity of the oils has been ensured by keeping the amount of hydration/water content and other elements at the lowest level. With this in mind, we are confident that the product will remain effective if you store it in its primary bottle/container, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and minimize the periods the bottle is opened (during which the oil potentially gets exposed to oxygen).
Your essential oil should remain viable (with the full optimal potential to deliver the intended benefit) for an average of 36 months (3 years)*** from the date of its manufacture.
