Green Tea Extract: Your Skin’s Detox, Protector & Soother

Green tea extract is a star ingredient in some of our facial treatments and is the unscented fragrance option in our Pure Coco Hand and Body Wash. Why do we love it so much? Let’s dive in.

The Antioxidant Power of Green Tea

Green tea extract is not only safe and natural—like all ingredients in our formulas—it’s also packed with antioxidants, including vitamins C and E. These powerful compounds help protect the skin from environmental aggressors such as cold, UV rays, and stress, while reducing visible signs of aging like dark spots and wrinkles.

Rich in polyphenols, green tea neutralizes free radicals that cause premature skin aging. It also helps calm redness, irritation, and swelling thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory properties.

The Perfect Detox for Your Skin

Known for its purifying and regenerating benefits, green tea is an ideal “detox” ingredient. It deeply cleanses the skin by removing excess sebum, dead cells, and toxins, refining skin texture and minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores.

Its antibacterial properties help balance the skin’s pH, which is essential for preventing acne. An acidic pH—often caused by hormonal changes, poor sleep, or an unbalanced diet—can make the skin oilier and more prone to breakouts. The pure green tea extract in our products removes acne-causing bacteria while soothing inflammation.

Comforting, Soothing, and Hydrating

Beyond its antioxidant, anti-redness, and anti-acne powers, green tea is naturally hydrating and soothing. It provides a cooling, refreshing sensation that’s perfect for sensitive or reactive skin. With its delicate, almost fragrance-free profile, it’s a favourite ingredient in our Facial Cleansing Gel, Mattifying Face Cream, and Hand and Body Wash.

These treatments leave your skin clean, calm, hydrated, and glowing.

Now that you know why green tea is one of nature’s best skin allies, it’s time to experience it for yourself with the Pure Coco Green Tea Collection.
