Applications
Studies have used caffeine in skincare at doses of up to 5%, but we recommend between 0.1-0.5% in topical products. High concentrations can dehydrate the skin, reducing the benefits of caffeine.
Notes on Dermal Penetration
Caffeine can penetrate the skin, with clinical trials showing penetration rates into the bloodstream ranging from 2-10% of the applied dose. The absorption rate depends on the base formula, the concentration used, and the application site. Follicular delivery is efficient, which is why caffeine is often added to hair care products.
Cautions
- Not suitable for products intended for children.
- Exercise caution during pregnancy; caffeine levels should be monitored to ensure they remain within recommended guidelines.
Dose Rate
The recommended dose is between 0.1-0.5%.
