Green Tea Brown Liquid Extract — Camellia sinensis — Cosmetic Grade
Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most extensively researched botanicals in cosmetic science, with a robust body of clinical evidence supporting its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, photoprotective, and anti-aging properties. Its primary bioactives — epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epicatechin, and other catechins — are among the most potent polyphenolic antioxidants available to formulators.
This brown liquid extract delivers the key bioactive compounds of Camellia sinensis in a ready-to-use, water-soluble form for direct incorporation into the water phase of serums, toners, moisturizers, sunscreen boosters, and anti-aging formulations.
Professional cosmetic ingredient — not a finished product.
Key Benefits
-
Potent antioxidant protection — EGCG and catechins are among the most studied polyphenolic antioxidants; neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress-driven skin aging
-
Photoprotective activity — catechins help mitigate UV-induced oxidative damage; complements SPF formulations as an antioxidant booster
-
Anti-inflammatory & soothing — inhibits NF-κB and pro-inflammatory cytokines; calms redness, irritation, and sensitivity in reactive and acne-prone skin
-
Anti-aging & collagen support — EGCG inhibits collagen-degrading enzymes (MMPs) and supports collagen synthesis; reduces the appearance of fine lines and loss of firmness
-
Sebum regulation & acne support — catechins help regulate sebum production and exhibit antimicrobial activity against acne-causing bacteria
-
Brightening — antioxidant activity supports a more even, radiant complexion; complements tyrosinase-inhibiting actives in brightening formulations
How to Use
-
Incorporation: Add directly to the water phase or at cool-down (below 40°C) to preserve heat-sensitive catechins and EGCG
-
Recommended Usage Rate: 1–10% in finished formulations (2–5% most common for serums and moisturizers)
-
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
