Organic Green Tea Extract
Organic Green Tea ~ camellia sinensis leaf extract
Green Tea is one of the most popular beverages consumed worldwide and is been correlated with lots of benefits for human health especially because of it’s high content of minerals which dried leaves of tea still preserve. The extract of the plant has shown to protect the skin cells of oxidative stress, which on long term can cause aging, saggy skin. Together with Vitamin C and E in its composition, creates a truly antioxidant defense system.
Organic Green Tea Extract is particularly interesting when it comes to after sun skin care. Several studies are available regarding photoprotection and anti-inflammatory activities after application. The principal chemical constituents of green tea are polyphenols. One of them (epigalocatechin-gallate) has been shown to reduce UV carcinogenesis. Recent studies also suggest that green tea polyphenols have UV protective effects because of their ability to repair DNA.
