About Us

Made With Love in Aotearoa

Simple  Natural  Effective

Born in sunny Marlborough, at the tip of New Zealand’s South Island, we transform locally sourced coffee grounds, repurposed from trusted regional roasters, into natural skincare products that are honest, and kind for the environment. 

We believe skincare should be simple, natural, and effective. Every product is made with care, using real ingredients that are good for your skin and gentle on the planet. From each blend to every package, we focus on quality over quantity, choosing small-batch craftsmanship instead of uninspired mass production.

The Inside Scoop

“‘Gritty Gold Infuses Skincare’

What started as a messy kitchen experiment has grown into a Marlborough-made skincare brand with a sustainable twist, supplied by your morning cafe pitstop.”

We had an amazing opportunity to get interviewed by Marlborough Weekly reporter William Woodworth just the other day.

We discuss the craziness behind the caffeine and the journey so far.

Follow Along the Journey

"Caffeine Crazy was born from a simple idea: skincare should be natural, effective, and honest. I was tired of long ingredient lists full of things I couldn’t pronounce, so I set out to create something better.

It all started with a memory, a coffee scrub gifted by a friend that left my skin soft, hydrated, and glowing. That feeling stuck with me, and years later, it inspired me to develop my own blend using upcycled coffee grounds and simple, skin-loving ingredients.

Each scrub is handcrafted with natural oils and pure essential blends like Lime, Geranium, and Lavender, designed to exfoliate, nourish, and leave skin feeling refreshed and radiant.

Made in Marlborough, New Zealand. Caffeine Crazy is a celebration of sustainability, simplicity, and self-care, a way to love your skin while doing good for the planet."

Our Story

What Our Customers Say

“Absolutely Obsessed with this Coffee Scrub! I’ve tried so many skincare products over the years, but nothing compares to the results I’ve seen from Caffeine Crazy's all-natural coffee scrub. From the very first use, my skin felt noticeably smoother and so much more refreshed. After a few weeks, I started to see a visible difference in the appearance of my cellulite and stretch marks. Something I honestly didn’t think was possible from a scrub! Not only does it exfoliate gently, but it also leaves my skin glowing and hydrated without any harsh chemicals or artificial ingredients. I love knowing that every ingredient is natural and thoughtfully chosen. It’s become a must-have in my skincare routine.”

Frequently Asked Questions

A coffee scrub is a natural exfoliant made from repurposed coffee grounds and nourishing oils. It gently buffs away dry skin, boosts circulation, and leaves your skin feeling smooth, soft, and refreshed.
Coffee scrubs help smooth rough skin, brighten dull areas, support healthy circulation, and leave the body feeling hydrated and renewed. The natural caffeine in coffee can also temporarily firm the skin and improve the appearance of cellulite or uneven texture with regular use.
Our scrubs are formulated for the body, where skin is thicker and benefits most from a deeper exfoliation. Facial skin is more delicate, so we generally recommend using a product specifically designed for the face. That said, some customers choose to use a very light touch on areas of built-up dry skin. Seasonal changes can also affect how your skin behaves, for example, colder months may bring more dryness, while warmer months can increase oil and congestion. If you do try it on your face, we suggest patch testing first and using gentle pressure only.
Yes. Our scrubs are blended with natural oils to hydrate while you exfoliate, making them great for dry skin. They’re also gentle enough for most sensitive skin types, we always recommend a quick patch test if you’re unsure.
Yes. Our scrubs are made with natural, skin-loving ingredients including repurposed coffee grounds, coconut oil, and pure essential oils. We never use parabens, sulfates, artificial fillers, or harsh synthetic chemicals.
Our ingredients are natural, however essential oils vary from scent to scent. We recommend checking with your healthcare provider for personalised advice before using any exfoliating products during pregnancy.
