What is Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract?
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract is the oil extract from the green tea plant Camellia Sinensis. Green tea and its major polyphenol constituents, the catechins, have been reported to have many health benefits including the prevention of cancer and heart disease1.
Is Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract Good for my Skin?
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract has been shown to offer significant benefits to our skin, both taken as a beverage and applied topically.
- Antioxidant
While tea contains a number of bioactive chemicals, it is particularly rich in catechins, of which epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant2. Catechins and their derivatives are thought to contribute to the beneficial effects ascribed to tea. Tea catechins and polyphenols are effective scavengers of reactive oxygen species in vitro and may also function indirectly as antioxidants.
- Antiaging
Green tea polyphenols delivered in a beverage were shown to protect skin against harmful UV radiation and helped to improve overall skin quality of women3. Some flavonoids may protect the skin by absorbing UVB and thus functioning as sunscreen.
- Skin hydration
Green tea beverage, high in flavanol was shown to diminish UV-induced erythema formation, increase microcirculation, improve skin structure (as roughness, scaling, volume, and wrinkles), and reduce TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss).
- Anti-inflammatory
Topically applied green tea purified polyphenol extract has been shown to inhibit UV-induced inflammation4, combat DNA damage5, and reduce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)6.
- Prevention of Cancer
Green tea and its major polyphenol constituents, the catechins, have been reported to have many health benefits including the prevention of cancer7 and heart disease1.
Conclusion
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract has been shown to offer significant benefits for our skin, either taken as a beverage or applied topically. It is a powerful skin antioxidant, has anti-inflammatory powers, can repair DNA damaged by UV radiation, can protect the skin from UVB radiation, and reduce water loss through the epidermis.
