Green Tea Clear Liquid Extract — Camellia sinensis — Cosmetic Grade
Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most extensively studied botanical actives in modern cosmetic science. Rich in polyphenolic catechins — particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) — it has earned a prominent place in evidence-based skincare formulation for its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, photoprotective, and sebum-regulating properties.
This clear liquid extract delivers the key bioactive compounds of Camellia sinensis in a ready-to-use, water-soluble, crystal-clear form for direct incorporation into the water phase of serums, toners, essences, moisturizers, and scalp treatments.
Professional cosmetic ingredient — not a finished product.
Key Benefits
-
Potent antioxidant protection — EGCG and catechins neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress-driven skin aging; one of the most antioxidant-rich botanical actives available
-
Anti-inflammatory & soothing — inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins; calms redness, irritation, and sensitivity in reactive and acne-prone skin
-
Photoprotective activity — helps mitigate UV-induced oxidative damage and supports skin recovery post-sun exposure; complements broad-spectrum SPF formulations
-
Sebum regulation — inhibits 5-alpha reductase activity; helps reduce excess sebum production in oily and acne-prone skin types
-
Brightening & tone-evening — inhibits tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis; contributes to a more even, radiant complexion
-
Scalp & hair support — antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity supports a healthy scalp environment; studied for its role in hair follicle protection
How to Use
-
Incorporation: Add directly to the water phase or at cool-down (below 40°C) to preserve heat-sensitive catechins
-
Recommended Usage Rate: 1–10% in finished formulations (2–5% most common for serums and toners)
-
Solubility: Water-soluble; incorporate in the water phase
-
Processing temperature: Add at cool-down (below 40°C) preferred; avoid prolonged high heat
-
pH & shelf life: Refer to your supplier's Certificate of Analysis (CoA) or Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for confirmed values
