Green Tea
Green tea is a popular botanical extract celebrated in British skincare for its soothing and antioxidant properties. Derived from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, it is commonly found in moisturisers, serums, eye creams and masks. Shoppers love it for giving skin a calmer, fresher appearance.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, green tea extract is valued for its rich content of polyphenols and catechins that help protect the skin from environmental stressors. It is frequently used in formulations to soothe and tone the skin while providing a fresh, lightweight feel. Its natural antioxidant profile makes it a staple in daily moisturisers, anti-fatigue eye treatments and after-sun products across UK beauty brands.
