Green Tea’s heavy hitting active constituent, EGCG…

Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) has been regarded as a promoter of good health when consumed internally. However, here at CoValence, we like to take advantage of its ability to promote good cellular health by applying it topically.

The primary active ingredient found in green tea is a compound called Epigallocatechin Gallate or EGCG. In its pure form, EGCG acts as a potent antioxidant which protects the skin from free-radical induced lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. Additionally, it stimulates our cell’s ability to produce energy and promotes wound healing by aiding in the differentiation of new skin cells. EGCG’s ability to protect as well as heal damaged skin makes it a priceless active in our skin care formulate.

Contact your Account Executive today to learn more about EGCG and how it can benefit your skincare products.
