Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green Tea Leaf

Green Tea Leaf is the everyday shield, a leaf rich in antioxidants.

  • Antioxidant protection: its EGCG defends skin from pollution and free radicals.
  • Controls visible shine: helps regulate sebum for a more refined, balanced complexion.
  • Calms the look of redness: its polyphenols help soothe reactive, easily-flushed skin.

Green Tea Leaf

Why we use it

Green tea has been part of Asian skincare for thousands of years, and it earns the reputation. Its antioxidants do more than protect in the moment: over time they help skin stay clearer and more resilient against everything the day throws at it. That is why green tea sits in the Shielding Sunscreen. The mineral filters handle the UV, and green tea takes care of the oxidative stress that daylight and pollution leave behind.
