Safety

Is Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water a Good Ingredient?

This is primarily a dilute water phase with trace tea compounds, so antioxidant and soothing effects are modest compared with standardized green tea extracts, which is why it's rated Fair. It's generally low risk, though botanicals can trigger sensitivity in a small subset of users.
