Green Tea Oil: From Cup to Complexion
Green tea has always been revered for its health-boosting properties.While this is true for oral consumption, it is also true within the skincare world. Its benefits ranging far beyond a soothing cup of tea, green tea oil is special due to its ability to protect, soothe, and rejuvenate the skin. In addition to its antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamins, its caffeine content allows for additional benefits uncommon to other ingredients. Let’s investigate what makes green tea leaf oil special!
What is Green Tea Oil?
Green tea has been used for its health benefits for thousands of years, first being cultivated in China. Green tea oil is derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, and while green tea is made from heating its leaves, green tea oil is extracted from the seeds of the plant. The oil is lightweight and doesn’t leave greasy residue on the skin. Because of this, it absorbs easily into the skin, allowing it to penetrate to the deepest layers.
Green tea oil is rich in polyphenols, making it the perfect antioxidant to reduce environmental skin damage. It also contains a high amount of linoleic acid which strengthens the skin barrier and reduces lost moisture. Green tea oil is especially good for mature and sensitive skin types, as it stimulates collagen production and calms redness and irritation.
