From ingredients to skin benefits: Understanding the core skincare advantages of green tea extract.
Natural plant-based skincare has become a mainstream trend in the beauty industry, and green tea extract, with its rich content of active ingredients such as tea polyphenols and EGCG, has become a classic multifunctional ingredient in skincare products.
I.What is green tea extract?
Green tea extract is a plant active essence made from natural fresh green tea leaves through low-temperature extraction, concentration, drying, and refining. It is rich in natural active substances such as tea polyphenols, catechins, EGCG, and theanine. It is one of the most widely used water-soluble extracts from tea in cosmetics.

Main effects
Tea Polyphenols
Tea polyphenols, also known as tea tannins or tea polyphenols, are a collective term for polyhydroxyphenolic compounds found in tea. They are the main active ingredients in tea, comprising 10%–24% of green tea, but only about 6% in black tea. Their main components are catechins (flavanols), flavonoids, flavonols, anthocyanins, and polymeric phenols, with catechins accounting for approximately 65%–80% of the total. This section discusses the composition, representative components, and biological activity of tea polyphenols.
External factors such as ultraviolet radiation, air pollution, and irregular sleep patterns continuously generate free radicals, accelerating skin dullness, roughness, and fine lines. Green tea extract, with its high content of EGCG and tea polyphenols, possesses natural antioxidant capabilities, which can eliminate excess oxygen free radicals, achieving a brightening effect and aiding in whitening.
Several studies have found that using skincare products containing 3% green tea extract for about two months can result in a significant reduction in sebum production compared to baseline levels.
Tissue experiments have shown that topical EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate, accounting for approximately 50% of the total polyphenols in green tea) can reduce UVB-induced skin inflammation and leukocyte infiltration in humans.
Tea polyphenols possess excellent antioxidant, anti-radiation, and anti-aging effects, capable of blocking ultraviolet rays and scavenging UV-induced oxygen free radicals, protecting skin cells from damage. Among them, EGCG, a catechin, has the most extensive research and application. Studies have reported that EGCG has antioxidant effects, reducing UV-induced oxidative stress, skin damage, and skin aging, and these effects have been verified in skin keratinocyte, fibroblast, and animal models. Flavonoids are also important components of tea polyphenols, exhibiting good antioxidant activity in vitro.
