GREEN TEA (CAMELLIA SINENSIS) LEAF EXTRACT - NexTrac™ GREEN TEA L LC

Introduction to Green Tea Extract

Green tea (Camellia Sinensis) is a familiar botanical ingredient widely used in everyday life and increasingly valued in health and beauty care. Beyond its popularity as a beverage, green tea contains numerous valuable bioactive compounds that support its applications in cosmetics and personal care products.

Green tea contains several notable groups of bioactive constituents, including polyphenols, caffeine, theanine, polysaccharides, and other plant compounds. These constituents have been extensively studied for their biological activities, including antioxidant, photoprotective, anti-cellulite, and slimming effects, as well as their benefits for skin, hair, and microcirculation. This diverse composition makes green tea extract a valuable ingredient in both dermocosmetics and personal care formulations.

With its versatile applications and familiar natural identity, green tea extract is suitable for a wide range of products designed to provide gentle, well-tolerated, and comprehensive care for the skin and hair.

Key Benefits of Green Tea Extract

Green tea extract is valued in cosmetics for its multiple benefits for the skin and hair. Depending on the usage level and formulation base, it may offer the following benefits:

• Antioxidant support: Helps neutralize free radicals, contributing to the protection of skin and hair against environmental stressors while maintaining a fresh, healthy-looking complexion.
• Antibacterial activity: Exhibits antibacterial activity that helps control the growth of Gram-positive bacteria commonly found on the skin, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, while also showing some activity against certain Gram-negative bacteria.
• Anti-cellulite support: Contains caffeine, which helps stimulate lipolysis by inhibiting phosphodiesterase, promoting fat breakdown. It also enhances microcirculation and lymphatic drainage to help smooth the skin’s surface and reduce the appearance of “orange-peel” skin.
• Hair growth stimulation: Contains EGCG, which helps stimulate hair growth by promoting the proliferation of dermal papilla cells (DPCs).
• Sebum reduction: Suitable for formulations targeting oily skin, combination skin, or oily scalps, helping balance sebum levels and reduce the greasy feel of skin and hair.
• Skin brightening: Can inhibit tyrosinase activity, thereby helping reduce melanin formation.
