Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract

Camellia oleifera (green tea) leaf extract comes froms a variety of green tea plant that originated in China but is now grown all over the world. Like its sister plant Camellia sinensis (the best-known type of green tea), it is a rich source of antioxidants and a welcome addition to any skin care product.\n\nVarious studies have found Camellia oleifera has multiple positive aspects, including soothing properties. As an antioxidant, it has free-radical scavenging capabilities, which has a many-tiered impact on the visible signs of ageing. One of the key components behind these benefits is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent polyphenol that is also present in the Camellia sinensis variety of green tea.
