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.

Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
A derivative of vitamin C that is more stable, but less bioavailable than the pure form of vitamin C.
