What It Does

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract is derived from the leaves of the tea plant and is exceptionally rich in polyphenols, particularly catechins like EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which provide potent antioxidant protection against environmental stressors and UV-induced damage. This 50% polyphenol standardized extract offers formulators a concentrated source of bioactive compounds that help reduce inflammation, protect against collagen degradation, and provide antimicrobial benefits. Green tea extract is particularly valued in anti-aging and soothing formulations due to its ability to neutralize free radicals while being gentle enough for sensitive skin applications.
