Not to be mistaken for the coffee you drink, Green Coffee Extract is one of the most potent forms of natural antioxidants which fight against free radicals and is prized for its host of skincare benefits. The ‘Super Ingredient’ is extracted from green, unroasted, cold-pressed coffee beans and is rich in natural plant-based chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid and caffeine.
Chlorogenic Acid – Reduces redness associated with excessive sunlight exposure Ferulic Acid – Provides antioxidants and sun protective benefits Caffeine – Limits photo-damage, decrease skin roughness and wrinkle formulation
Each of these antioxidants helps to stimulate a tired, dull complexion, tighten and tone the skin, and boost the skin’s youthful radiance. The chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid and caffeine increases blood flow, allow skin to reduce free radical damage, heal rough tissue and promote rapid cell regeneration. As well as being rich in antioxidants, Green Coffee Extract is also rich in fatty acids and esters such as Arahidic Acid, Linoleic Acid and Oleic Acid which help to moisturise and hydrate the skin.
Green Coffee Extract is a superstar ingredient in Kathleen Natural’s Caviar Enrich Eye Cream. Kathleen Natural provides a prominent anti-aging eye cream with Green Coffee Extract and 22 natural and marine extracts; a perfect combination to deal with wrinkles, puffiness, dryness and dark circles.

How can Coenzyme Q10 work as antioxidents to boost our skin health?
One of my readers who asked what is coenzyme Q10 which I highlighted in my newsletter on 2015-05-01? Then, I warn her,” You may better note the benefits rather than digging into those difficult scientific findings.” But my lovely dear reader refused! She is so smart and love to be more knowledgeable!
Coenzyme Q10 also known as ubiquinone (CoQ10), is a new comer in the skin care industry and was first discovered by ingredient giant, Beiersdorf, Germany in 2011 for skin-rejuvenating and wrinkle-reducing functions. Its chemical structure is:
Don’t panic, CoQ10 is a small molecule that we can produce ourselves naturally. CoQ10 can be found in all organs, including skin; be specific, can be found in cell membranes of mitochondria. Mitochondria are very important; they are the “powerhouse” of our cells and control the cell growth and cell death!
Why CoQ10 exists in the cell membrane of mitochondria and what is its function?
CoQ10 is a fat-soluble and tiny “mobile” molecule; it has an unique ability due to its three interchangeable states
– electron donor and electron acceptor. Electron is transferred to and from these 3 states. Therefore little CoQ10 become an electron transfer chain for generating power, and this cellular power for human cell is called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). On the way of transforming food to ATP, we need trillions and trillions of CoQ10. In our body, no other molecule like CoQ10 can perform similar function!
How CoQ10 can work as an antioxidant?
I need to explain what are free radicals? Our human cell is composed of many different cells. Cells are composed of many different molecules. Each molecule consists of one or more atoms. Each atom consists of nucleus, neutrons, protons and electrons. A molecule will be in “stable” status if no. of nucleus, neutrons, protons and electrons are in balance. However, human cells have many chemical reactions during respiration and metabolism leaving the molecules with an unpaired electron. Scientists called it is an oxidation reaction and unpaired electron molecules are free radicals. Free radicals are very “unstable” and trying to capture electron to gain stability. They attacks the nearest molecules, “stealing” electrons and damaging our cells.
Magically, CoQ10 naturally is the most generous donor and acceptor of electrons. CoQ10 works naturally as an anti-oxidant; protects our cells from damages and neutralizes free radicals in the environment.
Aging Problem
Under perfect condition, our body can produce as much CoQ10 as we need. However, scientists found the level of CoQ10 in the body declines with age.
Please give scientists a big hand! They discovered CoQ10. Commercial CoQ10 is manufactured in both natural and synthetic forms (a yeast fermentation extraction and partial synthesis from CoQ9).
Over thirty, our ability to produce CoQ10 is reduced. Our skin will appear the effects of ages, fine line, wrinkles …. loose… tired… Our skin needs CoQ10 little helpers! Unlock the secret of CoQ10 in GLAMOUR AGELESS.
People tend to overlook the health of our skin. Skin is one of the most complex organs. People must take care of its health and harmony before it is too late. Action now, use high quality skin care products.
What is the largest organ of our body? Skin! It is one of the most complex organs. There are some 650 sweat glands, 65 hair follicles, 19 yards of capillaries, 78 yards of nerves, thousands of nerve endings in 1 tiny sq. inch of skin. Our skin has three layers, the epidermis (outer layer), the dermis (elastic and collagen layer), and the subcutaneous (the fatty layer).
The epidermis are .05mm thick (eye) to 4mm thick (palm) and pH 4.4-5.6 at the surface; consists of water, fats, lipids, amino acids, natural enzymes, protein … for multiple functions; water retention, skin moisture, strength and cohesiveness of the skin, preventing the growth of bacteria and reproduction new cells to replace exfoliated cells, and skin colour.
Our cell replacement takes every 28 days in young adults, but increases with age to 50 days or over which is unavoidable of aging. The epidermis is then bonded to the elastic and collagen layer, dermis. The dermis supplies nutrients to select layers of the epidermis.

People tend to overlook and forget. When the skin performs in perfect harmony, the result is a beautiful, glowing, healthy complexion. If the skin is not in harmony, KATHLEEN’s natural and organic products are meant to assist in restoring its balance and beauty, leaving you skin healthy, dewy glow.
