The power of plants

The tea tree is a small bush with persistent leaves that flowers twice a year. Its leaves are harvested during the hottest months of the year while the plant is in full bloom. Originally from rainy tropical forests in Asia (China, Birma, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam), tea was brought to Europe by Portuguese and Dutch explorers on their return from China in the 17th century. It is now cultivated in all tropical and subtropical regions.

Skincare benefits of Organic matcha tea extract

In cosmetics, organic matcha tea extract is titrated in total polyphenols and catechins. It plays a part in energy expenditure by encouraging the burning and therefore the release of fats. It also stimulates the synthesis of type I collagen, helping to boost skin firmness.

*Organic ingredients are produced in accordance with European regulation (CE 2018/848)

Responsible sourcing

Our matcha tea extract is taken from an organic crop which grows in the Uji and Shizuoka regions of Japan. Small independent local producers grow the tea plants using traditional Japanese methods in line with organic farming principles. Once the plants are sufficiently mature, only the youngest leaves are picked by hand.
