Green Tea Water Soluble Extract

Green Tea Liquid Extract concentrates EGCG with epicatechin gallate and L-theanine from Camellia sinensis leaf. Catechins are freely water-soluble but EGCG degrades above pH 6 and on heat, so the finished matrix determines how much survives. State the EGCG percentage and the caffeine limit separately.

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Green Tea?
Most buyers use it in antioxidant liquid formulations, beverage bases and cosmetic water phases. As with any new water-soluble extract, pilot-test in your specific base before committing to a full production run.

Which carrier should I choose — water, propylene glycol or glycerin?
Water alone suits most aqueous formulations. Propylene glycol improves cold-stability and solvency in preserved systems; glycerin gives a milder, skin-friendlier carrier for leave-on formulations. PG and glycerin variants are offered at 500 g and 1 Kg, with PG also available at 5 Kg.
