Key Actives
camellia sinensis leaf extract

Irritation risk:
Works for:
Anti-oxidation,
Antibacterial,
Anti-aging,
Moisturizing,
Anti-blemish,
Evens skin tone
Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
epigallocatechin gallate

Irritation risk:
Works for:
Anti-oxidation,
Anti-aging,
Anti-blemish,
Evens skin tone,
Moisturizing
A polyphenol found in tea. This particular compound abbreviated EGCG is the most powerful antioxidant among those extracted from tea (usually green tea). Unfortunately, EGCG is unstable, requires a low pH (below 4) to prevent quick degradation, and does not penetrate the skin very well. This is why the full anti-oxidant effect of EGCG is typically not realized when it is added to topical skincare
