Green Tea
- The active ingredient in green tea is Epigallo Catechin Gallate (EGCG). It is a very powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Many researchers have attributed the reason why Japanese populations have much lower rates of cancer, heart diseases, and better skin to their habitual consumption of green tea. We believe, along with many other leading dermatologists, that aging is an inflammatory disease. Photoaging, or the premature aging caused by solar exposure to the skin, is mostly caused by inflammatory reactions.
- Green Tea (EGCG) is water-soluble and very unstable, just like ascorbic acid. At BeautyStat, we use high levels of 97% pure EGCG in our Skin Refiner and Eye Perfector because our silicone elastomer matrix also stabilizes it. It stabilizes our EGCG similar to the way it keeps our Vitamin C fresh and active until needed. We have been awarded 2 separate patents by the U.S. patent office for this technology. Since the skin cannot repair itself until it calms itself down, active green tea becomes a powerful tool in our approach to anti-aging.
Green tea can be found in our BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner Vitamin C Serum.
