Description

Hydrolyzed Camellia Sinensis Leaf is the an industrially processed hydrolysis leaf from the leaves of Camellia sinensis.
Camellia sinensis is the seedling from which tea (green, black oolong and others) is extracted. It is widely used for ethnopharmacological purposes mainly due to the presence of bioactive components such as phenolic compounds (gallic acid, p-cumaric acid and caffeic acid), purine alkaloids (theobromine, caffeine and theophylline), anthocyanins, flavonol glycosides (kaempferol, myricetin and quercetin), flavonoids (catechins).

What it is used for and where
Cosmetics
Skin conditioning agent - Humectant. Humectants are hygroscopic substances used to minimise water loss in the skin and to prevent it from drying out by facilitating faster and greater absorption of water into the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The epidermis is the most superficial of the three layers that make up the human skin (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) and is the layer that maintains hydration in all three layers. In turn, the epidermis is composed of five layers: corneum, the most superficial, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum and basale. Humectants have the ability to retain in the stratum corneum the water they attract from the air and have the function of moisturising the skin. It is better to use them before emollients that are oil-based.
