Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (green tea extract) is derived from the leaves of the tea plant and is rich in polyphenols, particularly catechins like EGCG. It is used in skincare for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties.

Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Reported in isolated cases of hypersensitivity to the extract or its components. |
