FSS Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract G PF

Botanical extracts have become popular in the cosmetic and personal care industry as they are appealing to many formulators. Natural extracts not only provide versatility, but because they are derived from renewable, natural resources, they contain a plethora of beneficial phytochemicals. FSS Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract G PF is a water-soluble ingredient extracted from Camellia sinensis, capitalizing on the benefits of tea. Historically, tea has been consumed in eastern Asia for as many as 50,000 years. It has been used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines as a stimulant and astringent. Rich with phytocompounds and nutrients, tea has made its way into the cosmetics industry capitalizing on antioxidant and moisturization benefits. Air pollution, exposure to sunlight, and smoke can create free radicals that damage both the hair and skin. Over time, the onslaught of free radicals contributes to the appearance of physical aging. Protecting ourselves from these free radicals with powerful antioxidants, such as those found in tea, is vital for preventing the appearance of fine lines and for maintaining healthy hair. Extracts of tea contain various polyphenols that are known for their antioxidant properties, functioning as scavengers of reactive oxygen species.1 Additionally, some polyphenols found in tea possess anti-inflammatory properties that have proven helpful in treating conditions such as arthritis, dermatosis, and other inflammatory skin disorders.2 Furthermore, these polyphenols may inhibit bacterial growth while also acting as astringents.3 FSS Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract G PF is derived from Camellia sinensis, providing formulators a way to capitalize on the natural benefits tea has to offer to the personal care industry.
