CAS#: Mixture
Green Tea Extract stands out as a multifaceted active ingredient, offering diverse advantages primarily attributed to its Polyphenols and Methylxanthines content. The Polyphenols contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, with the added ability to inhibit collagenase—an enzyme responsible for collagen and vascular endothelium degradation. Meanwhile, the Methylxanthines foster a vasodilator response and deter lipid accumulation in adipocytes. Green Tea Extract is further recognized for its protective effects against UVB damage. Its applications span a range of cosmetic formulations, including anti-cellulite treatments, sun protectors, anti-wrinkling formulations, products for irritated and sensitive skin, and hair care formulations designed to enhance strength and gloss.
