Effect of Adding Alcohol to Coffee Extract (Slim Coffee) Formulation

Adding alcohol (such as Ethyl Alcohol) to a product containing Coffee Extract (often referred to as Slim Coffee) to help it dry faster could potentially affect the efficacy of the Coffee Extract.

Here's why:

• Solubility and Stability: Coffee Extract is water-soluble, and its primary active component is caffeine. While alcohol is miscible with water and can act as a solvent, adding it changes the overall solvent system of the formulation. This change might affect the solubility or stability of the Coffee Extract and its active caffeine within the product.
• Delivery to Skin: The effectiveness of the Coffee Extract depends on its ability to be delivered into the skin. Altering the formulation with a significant amount of alcohol could potentially impact how the active ingredients are absorbed or interact with the skin.

The extent of any potential impact would depend on the specific concentration of alcohol used and the overall composition of the formulation. High concentrations of alcohol can also be drying to the skin.

If faster drying is desired, consider alternative formulation techniques or ingredients that promote quicker evaporation without potentially compromising the stability and efficacy of the active ingredients like Coffee Extract.
