(Camellia Sinensis Hydrosol & Leaf Extract)

Few ingredients have held up under scientific scrutiny the way green tea has. The plant behind it (Camellia sinensis) is loaded with polyphenols, and one in particular, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), shows up repeatedly in research as one of the most powerful antioxidants found anywhere in nature.

In our SVEDA® formulas, green tea pulls double duty. The hydrosol forms the water base of the formula, so antioxidant protection is baked in from the start rather than added as an afterthought. The concentrated leaf extract goes further, neutralizing free radicals, quieting visible inflammation, and gradually working toward a clearer, more even-looking complexion.

What that means practically: less redness, better defense against daily environmental wear, and the kind of slow, steady improvement that tends to stick.
