A powerhouse of antioxidants, Green Tea contains EGCG, a hard-to-find antioxidant that counters the effects of pollution, sun damage, and chemicals, and hence, its extracts improve skin barrier functions and boost sun protection. Enriched with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, Green Tea extracts help reduce sunburn and sun damage-induced redness, along with promoting a reduction in cell damage. Its extracts also reduce sebum production in the skin, thereby treating acne and oily skin.

Green tea essential oil, which is extracted from the green tea plant, Camellia Sinesis, is also known as Camellia Oil. It is a very lightweight dry oil with small molecules, which absorb into the skin immediately and do not sit on top of the dermis. Camellia oil, on the other hand, softens and hydrates skin and hair without leaving a greasy residue. It also boosts skin hydration by improving water retention and reducing transepidermal water loss. A storehouse of Vitamins B2 and E, Green Tea works wonders to sustain the skin’s health. B2 plays an essential role in maintaining collagen levels for youthful skin structure and firmness, while Vitamin E supports new skin cell growth and also acts an intense hydrator for soft and nourished skin. The presence of Caffeine in Green Tea helps shrink blood vessels around the eyes, making it a miracle for treating puffy eyes and dark circles.
