Green tea extract (Camellia Sinensis Extract) - controlled organic cultivation
Green tea has been highly valued as a medicinal plant for thousands of years. Green tea extract offers numerous skin care benefits as it is rich in bioactive compounds such as antioxidants and vitamins. When used regularly, green tea helps soothe, protect and detoxify the skin.
These are the main advantages:
- calming properties
Green tea has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce redness, irritation and swelling. It is ideal for sensitive skin or skin with rosacea, acne or other inflammation. - Strong antioxidant effect
Green tea contains catechins such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which are powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals caused by UV rays, pollution and stress. - slow-aging effect
The antioxidants in green tea protect the skin from harmful environmental influences and promote cell regeneration. This delays the appearance of signs of aging such as loss of skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles. - sebum regulation in acne
Green tea has antibacterial properties and helps reduce excess sebum production, which keeps pores clean and fights acne. EGCG also inhibits the growth of acne bacteria. - Moisturizing
Green tea contains vitamins such as vitamin B2 and vitamin E, which nourish and moisturize the skin. Vitamin E supports skin elasticity. - UV protection
The polyphenols in green tea provide some protection against UV damage. They help protect the skin from sun damage and reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation. - Promotes wound healing
Green tea accelerates the healing of minor wounds and skin damage by supporting skin regeneration. - detoxification and cleansing
Green tea cleanses the skin by removing dirt and excess oil without destroying the skin's natural moisture barrier. It is especially beneficial in masks and scrubs. - improvement of the complexion
Green tea helps to even out skin tone. It promotes a healthy complexion by reducing puffiness and improving microcirculation.
