CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT

Camellia Sinensis is the name of the tea bush that is also used to produce green tea. Camellia sinensis leaf extract is the extract of the plant leaves, which is used in cosmetics as a skin care agent. (1,2)

This leaf extract is particularly beneficial for skin care due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. (3,4,5)

The antioxidant ability of green tea extract is based on the composition of its bioactive components. These include polyphenols, amino acids, vitamins, and other secondary plant substances. (2,6)
