Green Tea in Moisturisers?
November 2, 2009 by Jo
Researchers at the Shanghai Institute have published a study finding green tea to be an active ingredient and a valuable addition to skin care products.
Not only are the antioxidant properties of the polyphenols found in green tea well documented and found to be effective, the moisturising absorbtion and retention of the polysacchrides was found to be very high.
Polysacchrides form hydrogen bonds with water molecules to help plump the skin. This in turn helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Skinsaviour moisturisers for both men and women contain green tea.
