super powered green tea:

The Green tea isolate we formulate with is rich in the powerful antioxidant Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which has long been known for its numerous health benefits when consumed internally. However, recent research has shown that EGCG can also have significant benefits for our skin when applied topically.

We explore the benefits of green tea isolate for skincare and why it is becoming increasingly popular in the cosmetic industry:

Anti-aging properties:

EGCG has potent antioxidant properties that can help neutralize free radicals, which are known to damage the skin and contribute to premature aging. Additionally, EGCG has been shown to inhibit the breakdown of collagen, a protein that gives our skin its elasticity and firmness. By protecting against collagen degradation, EGCG can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging skincare products.

Anti-inflammatory effects:

Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can damage the skin and lead to conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema. EGCG has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, making it an effective ingredient for calming irritated skin and reducing redness.

Solar exposure repair:

Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can damage the skin and increase the risk of skin cancer. While sunscreen is the best way to protect against UV radiation, EGCG has been shown to have some photoprotective properties. Specifically, it can help to prevent UV-induced DNA damage and reduce the production of harmful free radicals that can contribute to skin aging and cancer.

Improved skin hydration:

Hydrated skin looks and feels healthier, and EGCG can help to improve skin hydration by strengthening the skin barrier. A strong skin barrier helps to lock in moisture and protect the skin from environmental stressors that can cause dryness and irritation.

Acne-fighting properties:

Acne is a common skin condition that affects many people, particularly during adolescence. While there are many factors that can contribute to acne, inflammation and bacteria are two of the most significant. EGCG has been shown to have antibacterial properties, making it effective against the bacteria that can cause acne. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties can help to reduce inflammation associated with acne and prevent new breakouts.

Green tea isolate rich in EGCG is a valuable ingredient in skincare products due to its anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, sun-protective, hydrating, and acne-fighting properties. As with any skincare product, it is important to choose high-quality products with the right concentration of EGCG to ensure maximum benefits which is why we've formulated it in our bang gang formula:aphrodisia serum with 2 x vitamin c, niacinamide, bio-fermented oligopeptide and a unique pseudoceramide. With continued research into the benefits of EGCG for skincare, we can expect to see even more innovative products that harness the power of this potent antioxidant in the years to come.
