Functions
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and East Asian skincare for over 4,000 years for its antioxidant and astringent properties. Hydrolyzed leaf extracts were developed to concentrate beneficial polyphenols and provide improved stability in modern formulations.
