Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Decaffeinated

This decaffeinated, standardized spray-dried extract of Camellia sinensis leaves is concentrated to deliver ≥50% epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the most bioactive catechin polyphenol in green tea, while removing the bulk of caffeine to avoid stimulant-sensitive formulation concerns. Sourced primarily from cultivated green tea plants in East Asia, the spray-drying process preserves polyphenol integrity and ensures batch-to-batch consistency at the ≥50% EGCG specification. Formulators choose this standardized variant specifically when they need reliable, quantifiable antioxidant and antimicrobial polyphenol activity without the variable caffeine content that can complicate regulatory labeling or interfere with caffeine-sensitive skin applications.
