Antioxidant ingredient
Epigallocatechin Gallate
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the dominant polyphenolic catechin in Camellia sinensis (green tea) and the most studied tea antioxidant. It exerts free-radical scavenging, MMP inhibition, and NF-κB/MAPK anti-inflammatory activity in skin. Used as an isolated active for targeted antioxidant and anti-photoaging effects at higher potency than whole green tea extract.
Also known as: epigallocatechin-3-gallate
