Ingredient Investigation :: Green Tea Extract

“Biological additive used as an anti-irritant. Rich in vitamin 'C' and fluoride, acting as a mild antibacterial agent.”  -Sore No More! Website

Green tea is highly versatile. It’s used in beverages, for it’s internal health benefits and in cosmetics, amongst other things. Since we’re exploring it as an ingredient in Sore No More! we’re going to go ahead and explore its cosmetic usefulness today.

Most of us have heard that green tea (and thus the extract)  is a powerful antioxidant when consumed. Did you know that those same polyphenols have been shown to be absorbed through the skin? Using cosmetic lotions, gels, oils, etc containing green tea extract allows you to get a few more antioxidants into your body to neutralize those free radicals!

Green tea extract is also thought to have conditioning qualities that encourage continued firmness and elasticity in the skin while keeping it toned and healthy.

As mentioned in the Sore No More! ingredient description; there are multiple compounds found in green tea extract (including tannins and polyphenols) that have astringent qualities and provide a barrier between the skin and harmful bacteria from the outside world.

For us, green tea extract is just another one of those ingredients that we like to think makes Sore No More! just a little unique!
