About this ingredient

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a potent polyphenol catechin derived primarily from green tea. In cosmetic formulations, it functions as a powerful antioxidant that protects skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors, while also providing anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing benefits that help reduce redness and support overall skin health.
