green tea extract
Green tea extract (Camellia Sinensis Extract) - controlled organic cultivation
Green tea traditionally comes from China. It is made from the leathery leaves of the evergreen tea plant. In China, green tea has been highly valued for thousands of years not only as a luxury item, but above all as a medicinal plant. In pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, the focus is primarily on the high content of antioxidant-effective polyphenols (catechins). Our green tea extract has a particularly high content of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg) of over 90%. Catechins have been proven to inhibit inflammation and have an anti-allergic effect. They promote the detoxification of the skin and prevent pimples, pustules and eczema. Green tea has an astringent (contracting) effect on the tissue, stimulates cell metabolism and slows down skin aging. Other components in green tea that are effective for the skin are:
- Potassium: plays a key role in regulating the water content in the cells, it ensures sufficient moisture and prevents premature sagging of the skin.
- Calcium: stabilizes the cell membrane. Calcium is necessary for cell division as a prerequisite for a fresh, firm complexion.
- Zinc: supports the immune system and metabolism, but is also involved in the health and resilience of healthy hair, for example.
- Vitamin C: lightens skin spots and hyperpigmentation such as age spots.
