Green tea

The polyphenol story

Green tea is rich in catechins - particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) - which behave as antioxidants when applied to skin and hair. The cosmetic literature on topical green-tea polyphenols is large and reasonably consistent: they reduce visible signs of UV damage, calm low-grade redness, and add a measurable barrier-support effect when included in moisturisers and serums. We use green tea at the concentrations the cosmetic-chemistry literature considers active, not as a marketing-only trace.

Why we put it in the hair line too

Green tea has also been studied as a scalp ingredient, where its astringent tannins help reduce sebum on oily scalps and its caffeine load gives a mild stimulant effect at the follicle. Our green-tea shampoo and hair oils combine those properties; the hair serum carries a higher concentration for people who want a leave-in. None of this is a hair-loss treatment - it is daily hair-care with a polyphenol bias.

Questions

Questions about green tea in cosmetics

  • Is the green-tea extract caffeinated?
    Yes. Standardised cosmetic green-tea extract contains caffeine (~3% of the dry extract by weight typically). At cosmetic concentrations this is not enough to cross the skin systemically in meaningful amounts; if you are sensitive to caffeine in skincare for any reason (e.g. you find eye creams stimulating), pick formulations without it.
  • Will it stain my skin or scalp green?
    No. Standardised green-tea extract is filtered to remove the chlorophyll that gives whole-leaf tea its colour. The finished products are pale amber to clear, not green.
  • Is green tea safe in pregnancy?
    Topical green tea at cosmetic concentrations is considered safe in pregnancy. (Drinking green tea is a separate question - obstetricians sometimes recommend limiting intake to one or two cups a day because of the caffeine. That is unrelated to topical cosmetic use.)
  • How does it pair with vitamin C?
    Well, mostly. Both are antioxidants; layering them - vitamin-C serum in the morning followed by a green-tea moisturiser - tends to give measurable additive antioxidant capacity. The combination is one of the most thoroughly studied in cosmetic chemistry. Apply vitamin C first (it needs to be at low pH to work) and follow with the green-tea formulation.
  • Can I use it daily?
    Yes. Green tea is one of the more thoroughly tolerated cosmetic actives; daily use of green-tea cleansers, moisturisers and shampoos is well within normal cosmetic guidance. The main reason to space out usage is if you are layering several actives at once and want to check tolerance one at a time.
