Green tea extract comes from the natural dried leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. It has been used for thousands of years in China, both as a beverage and a herbal medicine. The active ingredients in green tea are a family of polyphenols/catechins and flavonols which possess potent antioxidant activity.

Several catechins are present in significant quantities, epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).

EGCG makes up 70% of the total catechin content which seems to be the most powerful antioxidant among the catechins.

Green Tea and your skin

Green Tea (EGCG) and sun protection

Steven V. Joyal, MD,' The Sunscreen Paradox - Popular Misconceptions About Skin Cancer Prevention'. LE Magazine June 2006.

"EGCG, a prime component of green tea, provides broad-spectrum protection against UV light-induced DNA damage and immune system dysfunction of the skin. Topical green tea extract is exceptional in preventing the inflammation and oxidative stress associated with UV light-induced skin damage. As a result, scientists believe green tea may help prevent skin cancers that commonly result from exposure to the sun's radiation." Read more

Dave Tuttle, 'Scientifically Advanced Skin Care', LE Magazine January 2007.

What green tea can and cannot do for your skin

Dr. G. Todorov, smartskincare.com

"Findings from a new study confirm that tea extracts applied to the skin promote the repair of damage from radiotherapy, and shed light on the mechanisms involved in the injury. The beneficial effects of the extracts are mostly from their ability to attenuate the body signals that trigger inflammation."

"Green tea appears to exert sun damage protection by quenching free radicals and reducing inflammation rather than by blocking UV rays. Therefore, green tea may synergistically enhance sun protection when used in addition to a sunscreen." Read more
