Handmade in Dun Laoghaire using 100% repurposed coffee grounds! Bean Around's formula is specifically designed to leave your skin feeling clean and smooth. Their Exfoliating Bar is also great at removing fake tan!
How It All Began
Meet Sadhbh and Aisling, two sisters from Dun Laoghaire who are both full-time students and love socializing. Like their products, they're quite literally 'full of beans.' They make exfoliating bars and products from 100% repurposed coffee grounds collected from local coffee shops.
Their story began when their Dad started using coffee grounds to help with his psoriasis (a condition that causes dry, scaly, itchy skin). After trying lots of different treatments that never seemed to work, he researched and began using a handmade bar made from coffee grounds in their own kitchen. This made a real difference to his skin – and surprisingly, to the sisters' skin too for completely different reasons.
For years they'd both been using exfoliating mitts to remove fake tan. One evening, Sadhbh was getting ready to go out and discovered her mitt had been thrown out! In a panic, she used her Dad's exfoliating coffee bar. It worked perfectly! It easily removed all of her old tan and was gentle on her skin, leaving it feeling incredibly smooth.
Once they discovered how effective it was, they couldn't stop using it. However, the bar was messy and difficult to use! They developed their own bar with their distinctive funky shape, using the perfect amount of coffee grounds for both a deep and gentle exfoliating experience – and that's how Bean Around was born!
Sadhbh and Aisling feel good about making something new out of something that's normally thrown away, and they hope you'll feel good using their products too.
Why Coffee Grounds?
Bean Around uses 100% repurposed coffee grounds collected from local coffee shops. Most exfoliators on the market use harsh or water-soluble ingredients such as pumice, salt, or sugar. Coffee grounds are a robust, gentle exfoliator that give their products a longer life and provide a gentler, better exfoliation. Their products are great for removing fake tan and may have other benefits – studies suggest that coffee grounds can help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
