Key Actives
camellia sinensis leaf extract
0.3% -
0.6%
Irritation risk:
Works for:
Antibacterial,
Anti-oxidation,
Anti-aging,
Evens skin tone,
Anti-blemish,
Moisturizing
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
glycine soja protein

0.6%
Irritation risk:
Works for:
Cleansing,
Moisturizing,
Anti-aging,
Evens skin tone,
Anti-oxidation
A plant extract that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and soften it. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. It might be somewhat helpful for evening out the skin tone. It might be able to support elastin production but solid research is lacking
