Green tea extract – powerful antioxidant for hair and skin
Green tea extract is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants and a fantastic ingredient for hair and skin care. Derived from the leaves of the tea bush Camellia sinensis, green tea extract is rich in polyphenols and catechins that protect, strengthen and balance. We use green tea extract in our White Flower shampoo bar to provide antioxidant protection to the hair and balance the scalp.
What is green tea extract?
Green tea extract is extracted from the leaves of the tea bush (Camellia sinensis). Unlike black tea, green tea undergoes minimal oxidation, which preserves its high antioxidant content. Green tea has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 4,000 years for its health-promoting properties.

Green tea extract is one of the most powerful antioxidants available. It protects hair against free radicals from UV radiation, pollution and styling, preventing premature aging and damage.

EGCG in green tea extract has been shown to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. It may also help reduce hair loss by blocking DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that can cause hair loss.
3. Balances the scalp
Green tea extract has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help balance the scalp. It can reduce dandruff, itching, and excess oil.
4. Strengthens hair
The polyphenols in green tea extract strengthen the hair shaft and make it more resistant to breakage and damage. The hair becomes stronger and more elastic.
5. Gives shine
Green tea extract gives hair a natural shine by closing the hair cuticles and creating a smooth surface. The hair becomes silky and shiny.
6. Reduces oily hair
Green tea extract helps regulate sebum production in the scalp, making it perfect for oily hair. Hair stays fresher longer.
7. Improves blood circulation
The caffeine in green tea extract improves blood circulation in the scalp, which provides more nutrition and oxygen to the hair follicles.
8. Anti-inflammatory
Green tea extract soothes irritated scalps and reduces inflammation. Perfect for sensitive scalps.
