Cosmetics and nutraceutical

The coca leaf has not yet been widely explored in the cosmetic industry; however, its healing and antioxidant properties give it great potential for incorporation into a variety of personal care products. On the other hand, in the nutraceutical field, coca leaf can be included in supplements and functional foods to enhance physical endurance, concentration, and digestion. Its high content of calcium, protein, and antioxidants positions it as a superfood with significant potential in modern nutrition, provided that regulatory barriers limiting its commercialization in international markets can be overcome.
