About
Guarana fruit powder — a caffeine-rich botanical that stimulates microcirculation and can temporarily tighten and tone skin.
Paullinia cupana (guarana) fruit powder is derived from the dried fruit of the guarana plant. It contains caffeine (2-5%), tannins, and catechins. Caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor and stimulant when applied topically, potentially reducing puffiness and tightening skin. The natural caffeine content may cause sensitivity in some individuals. Restricted in some regulatory contexts due to stimulant concerns.
