It is a versatile ingredient, ideal for providing skin with protection, toning, and a fresh appearance, while also being an excellent conditioning agent for skin exposed to urban pollution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use green tea extract instead of sunscreen?
No. Although the polyphenols in green tea help the skin fight against sun-induced oxidative stress, this extract does not have a sun protection factor (SPF) and does not replace creams with UV filters.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is a well-tolerated extract; however, due to the presence of tannins, testing on a small area is recommended for extremely reactive skin.
Safety in Use
Profile: Cosmetic product for external use.
Precautions: Keep out of reach of children. Do not ingest. Respect the recommended dosage.

It's a good, quality, organic product perfect for different creams or for natural deodorant or for treating pimples.
I love it! I use it in anti-aging products and those that offer protection against pollution and sun damage.
Although it should be used within a short time after opening the bottle and kept in the refrigerator ,it is ideal for sensitive skin, mature skin, in sun care and anti-aging formulas
I've been using Organic Green Tea Extract for 2 years for hair and complexion Daughter uses it for acneic skin, results are
I added it to a face cream and the effect is incredible. The complexion is clearer, feels fresher. I respected the mentioned dosage.
I have been using the Rejuvenating Toner, combination-oily skin with a few small adaptations, for at least 7 years and I am absolutely in love with it. It is exactly the right toner for my skin. I use green tea extract in the recipe instead of red vine extract, as it is a natural antioxidant that helps protect the skin against the signs of skin aging. I regularly purchase this product to prepare my favorite toner.
I use it together with Q10 in a simple moisturizer (a simple formula, no special expensive ingredients) and the effects were visible after a short time. Cleaner, more even and moisturized complexion. As a cosmetic ingredient, it's a very easy product to use, just add the required amount to the formula and mix the emulsion.
I have been using this product for over 5 years. I must state that its effects were more potent before. Perhaps one might be tempted to say that 5 years ago, skin being younger, received any skincare product differently. But it's not just that. I feel, the quality of the product is inferior. Let's say, in Romanian terms, diluted.. (And I don't hold Elemental responsible. After all it is not a manufacturer.) In combination with other extracts it helps the skin, it maintains it.
The green tea extract , although to be used within a short time of opening the bottle , is one of the ingredients not to be missed in recipes for anti-aging and skin rejuvenating products.
A product that I use with confidence in formulating skin creams. The effects are visible after just a few uses, at least for my combination skin.
I recently bought this product, it's for the first time (I found out recently that it's used in anti-aging cream) I've already used it in face cream and it's perfect. I love the way it smells and I'm sure it does the job especially since it has aids in the ingredients used in the cream as well... I highly recommend.
It's one of the ingredients in recipes for anti-aging, firming and skin-refining products.
Besides the anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effect it is a good toner and very gentle on sensitive skin around the eyes.
I recently purchased this extract. I've already used it in face creams, along with other anti-aging ingredients, and find it excellent. Green tea is recognized for its properties.
It's suitable for all skin types, a good ingredient in anti-aging creams. I use it to enrich the cream base.
It nourishes the skin with moisture and prevents the feeling of dryness and tightness. Also, green tea is filled with various beneficial substances with which it saturates the skin, making it healthier and softer. Also, the component fights peeling and improves skin tone.
I m very happy to have got this active beacuse it s very important for anti oxidant during the day For now I always use in facial toner with vit C phosphate, niacinamid and 2 peptides ; my skin is feeling good and it seems better. Polyphenols are very important for a healthy skin Thank you
It has anti - touching effect and I use it especially in combination with other anti - touching oils and vitamins.
