Green Tea Extract (Clear)
Low-colour antioxidant botanical extract for serums, toners, and gels. Gives the green tea benefit story without darkening your formula.
Green Tea Extract (Clear) is a colour-minimised botanical extract designed for antioxidant-style skincare without the typical brown or green tint.
It supports a fresher-looking complexion concept, helps reduce the look of redness and irritation, and fits well in toners, serums, gels, and lightweight emulsions.
This clear-grade extract is the better choice when you want the green tea story but you need the final formula to stay transparent or very light in colour.

- Antioxidant support – fits anti-dullness and protective skincare concepts.

FORMULATION GUIDELINES
| INCI | Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (and) Aqua (and) Glycerin |
|---|---|
| Type | Botanical extract (clear / low-colour liquid) |
| Solubility | Water soluble / water dispersible |
| Use Rate | 1–5% typical. Start at 2–3% for toners and serums, then adjust based on desired story strength. |

| pH Compatibility | Works across common skincare pH ranges. We recommend finished product pH 4.5–7.0 for best overall compatibility. |
| Temperature Tolerance | We recommend adding below 40°C to protect botanical character. |
| Pro Tip | Add after your gel network or emulsion is formed, then mix until uniform. Keep chelation (example: disodium EDTA) in your formula to support colour stability in antioxidant systems. Use air-minimising packaging if your formula also contains oxidation-sensitive actives like vitamin C derivatives. |
