At iAMA, our journey to create the perfect Coffee and Castor Oil scrub took years of careful searching and testing. We wanted to find the most powerful, natural, plant-based ingredients that truly work.
The name iAMA comes from an ancient Greek word meaning “to heal.” That idea has guided us from the start. We believe true wellness comes from nature. Using plant-based ingredients in your beauty routine isn’t just good for your skin—it’s a way to care for yourself and the planet.
Steph, our co-founder, spent years experimenting with different coffee scrubs. After many tries, she finally found the perfect blend. When coffee and castor oil come together, something special happens. This is synergy in action.
Coffee grounds gently exfoliate, removing dead skin and prepping your skin to soak up the benefits of castor oil. The castor oil keeps your skin hydrated and protected, making sure the scrub never strips away your natural oils.
This blend tackles many skin concerns at once:
- Coffee grounds exfoliate
- Castor oil deeply hydrates
- Antioxidants in coffee and fatty acids in castor oil fight signs of aging
- Both ingredients have antimicrobial properties to help prevent acne
- Caffeine in coffee brightens your skin
- Our Coffee and Castor scrub is more than a product. It’s the result of a journey to bring you natural, effective skincare that heals and nourishes from the inside out.
The Journey to Our 100% Natural, Coffee and Castor Oil Scrub
Steph’s journey started many years ago, inspired by her grandmother. “I ran out of my usual exfoliator while staying at my grandparents’ house, and my grandma told me to use coffee. She had been using it for years,” Steph recalls. “It amazed me that something so simple from everyday life could be such a powerful exfoliator with real benefits for the skin.”
That moment sparked over a big experimentation.
Steph tested countless combinations of coffee grounds with different oils and ingredients. Each batch taught her more about the ideal texture, effectiveness, and how it felt on the skin.
“From different coffee beans to various oils, I made lots of batches and used them until I wanted to try something new,” she says. “But the best results came from combining castor oil with Arabica coffee. It made my face glow and deeply cleaned away dead skin. It was gentle enough to soothe hormonal breakouts around my chin.”
The breakthrough came when Steph realized that mixing castor oil with coffee created the perfect scrub texture—deep yet gentle.
The coffee offered effective exfoliation, while the castor oil provided rich moisturization and soothing benefits.
The texture was just right—not harsh, not greasy. The results were incredible. She shared the blend with her co-founder, Safa.
“When I tried the scrub, I immediately loved the texture,” Safa says. “My skin felt softer and looked brighter right away. The castor oil left a light, protective layer that locked in moisture, so my skin never felt dry or irritated.”
After some fine-tuning and rigorous testing to ensure quality and safety, our Coffee Castor Oil Scrub was born.
It's more than just a product for us – It's proof that with two simple ingredients derived from mother nature's own pharmacy, you can create something truly extraordinary.
"I've had a big journey with Coffee as an exfoliant as I've used it through different periods of skin issues," Steph says. "Instead of using scrubs and exfoliators with harsh ingredients and grains that can be too harsh for the skin, we know that our Coffee & Castor Scrub is the gentlest, kindest and most natural way to go if you are looking to improve texture."

Why We Combined Coffee and Castor Oil
Over time, we tried many face scrubs, but most felt artificial and harsh, stripping the skin’s surface. This can cause problems, especially for sensitive skin. That shared experience inspired us to create something different and better.
Coffee grounds provide gentle, effective exfoliation. Unlike harsh synthetic beads in many scrubs, coffee particles are naturally soft and rounded, reducing the risk of tiny skin tears.
Exfoliation is only part of the process. Our scrub also nourishes and protects the skin, balancing the drying effects of scrubbing. Castor oil, a natural moisturizer rich in fatty acids, soothes and calms the skin.
Our blend removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores without stripping natural oils. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin but strong enough to leave your face feeling refreshed and renewed.
Coffee’s power lies in its natural ability to exfoliate and detoxify by boosting circulation, bringing toxins to the surface. Our Coffee and Castor Scrub helps repair the skin barrier while detoxifying, making it ideal for dry skin, redness, and acne.
We believe what you put on your skin should be safe enough to eat, since it absorbs directly into your bloodstream and organs.
With only two ingredients and no artificial fragrances, chemicals, or plastics, we created a 100% organic, plant-based face scrub that’s kind to your skin and the environment. Our Coffee Castor Oil Face Scrub combines exfoliation and hydration naturally.
This scrub deeply exfoliates, increases circulation, moisturizes, and detoxifies your skin. It leaves your skin soft, smooth, and revitalized.
The Benefits of Blending Coffee and Castor Oil
Coffee isn't just for your morning cup—it's a powerhouse for your skin too. When you apply coffee grounds topically, they become a natural, gentle exfoliant. This scrub works wonders by:
• Sloughing away dead skin cells
• Clearing out clogged pores
• Boosting blood circulation
The result?
A complexion that's not just clean, but radiantly healthy.
And the best part?
You can use this versatile scrub on your face, neck, and even your scalp.
But coffee's skin benefits go beyond just exfoliation. It's packed with antioxidants, especially caffeine and chlorogenic acids.
The Power of iAMA Castor Oil
Castor oil is a thick, nutrient-rich oil that has been trusted for centuries in traditional medicine and beauty routines. What makes it stand out is its high content of ricinoleic acid, a special fatty acid with powerful benefits for your skin.
It deeply moisturizes your skin without clogging pores, making it ideal even for those prone to breakouts. The oil’s natural anti-inflammatory properties help calm redness and soothe irritated skin. It also fights bacteria that cause acne, helping to keep your skin clear and healthy.
Beyond hydration and acne control, castor oil supports the production of collagen and elastin. These proteins keep your skin firm and elastic, helping you maintain a youthful, glowing complexion. Using castor oil regularly can improve your skin’s texture and resilience, making it a valuable addition to your skincare routine.
