Green tea is a type of tea made exclusively from Camellia sinensis (or Thea chinensis) leaves which must not undergo any oxidation during processing. Of Chinese origins, it has been consumed for centuries in various Asian regions, from Japan to the Middle East.

Green tea extract is extracted from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, a small tree belonging to the Theaceae family. It comes in the form of a green to brown powder. The extract consists mainly of polyphenols and xanthine bases (theophylline). Polyphenols, among which catechins prevail, are responsible for the marked antioxidant property of the phytocomplex which translates into a protective action at the level of the microcirculation and anti-free radicals in anti-aging products. Theophylline, on the other hand, activates the basal metabolism, favoring lipolysis and the drainage of excess liquids, facilitating the elimination of fatty deposits and the remodeling of the silhouette. Thanks to the presence of tannins, Camellia sinesis extract has dermopurifying and astringent properties, useful in the treatment of oily and impure skin. Thanks to its high content of polyphenols and antioxidants, green tea promotes hair growth. Plus the catechins in it have properties that help block DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a major cause of hair loss. It can also promote new hair growth and prevent common problems like dry scalp and dandruff.
