Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract

« Back to Glossary Index

Green tea contains polyphenols that act as powerful antioxidants and protect our skin from free radicals which can damage the collagen in our skin. Research indicates that green tea can reduce erythema and skin irritation caused by UV radiation and decrease the number of sunburn cells. For optimal protection, it is recommended to use green tea products in combination with sunscreen in the morning. Inflammation is a natural protective response of the body, but excessive inflammation in the skin can lead to premature aging and skin diseases like acne and rosacea. Green tea catechins not only function as antioxidants but also have potent anti-inflammatory properties, making it an ideal choice for individuals with sensitive, acne-prone, or rosacea-afflicted skin.
