What Is Java Tea Extract?
Java tea extract comes from Orthosiphon stamineus, a medicinal plant native to Southeast Asia and Australia. Also known as cats whiskers, this plant has been used traditionally for its diuretic and detoxifying properties.
In skincare, Java tea extract helps to stimulate microcirculation and support the skins natural detoxification processes. It is rich in flavonoids and polyphenols that provide antioxidant benefits.
The extract is particularly effective in products targeting puffiness, dull skin, and signs of fatigue, helping to restore a healthy, clear complexion.
