Green Tea Extract

What is it

What is Green Tea Extract?

Green tea extract is derived from Camellia sinensis leaves and is one of the most studied botanical antioxidants in dermatology. It is rich in polyphenols - particularly EGCG which has been extensively researched for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and DNA-repairing properties. It is particularly well-suited to the eye area, where the skin is thinner and more vulnerable to oxidative damage.
