What Exactly Is Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract?

Here's what you're putting on your skin — and why we love it.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract is an ingredient derived from the leaves of the green tea plant. Scientifically classified as Camellia Sinensis, this extract is rich in polyphenols, particularly catechins, which are known for their potent antioxidant properties. Among these, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most dominant and powerful, providing the extract with its exceptional skin benefits.

The extract is celebrated for its ability to neutralise free radicals, which are harmful molecules that can damage skin cells and accelerate ageing. By incorporating Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract into skincare, one can harness the natural power of green tea to promote a healthier, more youthful complexion.

What Happens When Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract Touches Your Skin

Understanding the process helps you get better results at home and in the treatment room.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract works by delivering a high concentration of antioxidants to the skin, which helps to combat oxidative stress caused by environmental factors such as UV radiation and pollution. The catechins in the extract are particularly effective in reducing inflammation and preventing the breakdown of collagen, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

Additionally, the extract has antimicrobial properties that can help in managing acne by reducing inflammation and inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the skin. This dual action makes it an ideal ingredient for both anti-ageing and acne-prone skincare formulations.
