After they have prepared a delicious cup of coffee, spent coffee grounds have the potential to be repurposed in a number of useful ways, such as forming the base of a cleansing coffee body scrub. While some crafty consumers who are passionate about making their own products already create this DIY body care treatment with their coffee grounds at home, brands like MontaMonta do the same on a larger scale—the brand collects repurposed coffee grounds from cafes in London and pairs them with epsom salts, sea salts, Vitamin E and skin-soothing oils. The finished product is beneficial for gentle buffing away dull skin to reveal soft, fresh skin in the shower.
As part of its devotion to a sustainable future, MontaMonta packages its Sage + Coffee Body Scrub in a 100% recyclable amber PET jar.
