Green Tea Extract
A Powerful Antioxidant That Protects, Soothes, and Revitalizes Skin
Green Tea Extract, derived from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, is celebrated worldwide for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s a staple ingredient in skincare for calming irritation, defending against environmental damage, and promoting healthy, youthful skin.
What is Green Tea Extract?
Green Tea Extract is obtained by steeping young tea leaves in water, capturing high levels of polyphenols, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These compounds provide robust protection against free radicals, reduce inflammation, and help repair skin damage. It’s commonly used in products designed to soothe sensitive skin and combat premature aging.
