Green Tea Extract
One of nature’s most researched skin protectors.
Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most extensively studied natural ingredients in skincare. Its catechins — particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) — provide exceptional antioxidant protection that rivals synthetic alternatives.
From UV protection to anti-aging benefits, green tea extract offers a comprehensive approach to skin defense that works across all skin types.
Key Benefits
Antioxidant Powerhouse
EGCG is one of the most potent antioxidants known, neutralizing free radicals and preventing oxidative stress that leads to premature aging.
Anti-Aging
Protects existing collagen from degradation and may stimulate new collagen production, helping maintain skin firmness and elasticity.
Anti-Inflammatory
Reduces redness and calms irritated skin, making it beneficial for conditions like rosacea, acne, and post-treatment recovery.
Sebum Control
Helps regulate oil production without stripping the skin, making it ideal for oily and combination skin types.
The Science
EGCG has been shown in peer-reviewed research to provide photoprotective benefits, reducing UV-induced skin damage when applied topically. It complements (but does not replace) sunscreen protection.
A study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that topical green tea extract significantly reduced sebum production in participants with oily skin over an 8-week period.
