TEA POLYPHENOL

Tea Polyphenol – Potent Antioxidant for Radiant, Balanced Skin
Tea Polyphenols are powerful plant-derived compounds extracted from Camellia sinensis (green tea). Rich in catechins like EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate), they deliver exceptional antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening benefits—making them ideal for modern skincare and anti-aging formulations.

Key Benefits:
Antioxidant Shield: Neutralizes free radicals and protects against environmental stress

Anti-Aging Support: Preserves collagen and improves skin elasticity

UV Defense: Helps prevent photodamage and sun-induced aging

Sebum Regulation: Balances oil production, ideal for acne-prone skin

Anti-Inflammatory: Soothes redness, irritation, and sensitive skin conditions

Common Applications:
Brightening serums and anti-aging creams

Acne treatments and oil-control toners

Sunscreen boosters and post-sun care

Scalp treatments and hair serums

Natural deodorants and soothing body lotions

Use Rate
Application Type Recommended Use Rate
Leave-on skincare 0.1% – 2%
Rinse-off products 1% – 5%
Targeted treatments Up to 3%

Formulation Tip: Add Tea Polyphenol during the cool-down phase (below 40°C) to preserve its antioxidant potency. It dissolves best in water or glycerin-based systems and pairs well with Niacinamide, Panthenol, and Allantoin.

Formulator’s Note
Tea Polyphenols are ideal for clean beauty formulations targeting dullness, sensitivity, and premature aging. For acne-prone skin, they help reduce sebum and inflammation without disrupting the skin barrier. Combine with Licorice Extract or Alpha Arbutin for enhanced brightening effects.

Pro Tip: Use in nighttime products or pair with SPF during the day to maximize photoprotection.
