What Is Green Tea Extract?

Green Tea Extract is a water-soluble cosmetic active made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis. It is packed with polyphenols — most famously the catechin EGCG — that give Green Tea Extract its strong antioxidant reputation and make it a staple in protective, anti-pollution and blemish-prone skincare.

Traditional Uses

Green tea has been central to East Asian culture for well over a thousand years, valued both as a daily ritual and as a botanical prized for its antioxidant character. That heritage is what modern cosmetic science has worked to capture and standardise for topical use.

Green Tea Extract is a workhorse antioxidant across many product types:
  • Antioxidant day serums and anti-pollution formulas
  • Oily and blemish-prone skincare
  • Soothing eye and after-sun products
  • Refreshing toners, mists and cleansers

Formulators choose this extract because it is water soluble, easy to preserve and carries an antioxidant story consumers already trust. It pairs naturally with niacinamide and vitamin C, and is especially popular in ranges aimed at oily and combination skin.
