Green Tea *Matcha* Camellia sinensis TYPE: Matcha Leaf Suggested Usage Rate: up to 10% Solubility: Water
Green tea has recently been discovered to have many nutritional and healthful qualities, for example, it contains 20 times the antioxidant effect of vitamin E.
When used in facial creams and lotions, green tea increases the effect of sunscreens, and it's been found to prevent skin cancer from
UV rays as well. A special green tea is used in some cosmetics for this purpose. Called matcha, it's high in methylxanthines, which are believed (by the National Cancer Institute) to prevent skin cancer. Matcha can be traced back to the Sung dynasty in China, over two thousand years ago.
Green tea also helps prevent irritation of the skin caused by glycolic acid and other irritating chemicals that are used in skin peels and facial masks. Green tea even has anti-cellulite properties.
