Uses
white tea extract—attributed with a wide variety of properties, it is anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, and astringent. Formulators may also use it for fragrancing, as a humectant or as an emollient and to improve overall skin condition. White tea comes from the same plant—Camellia sinensis—as green and black tea, and studies are attributing it with a potent anti-oxidant capacity, protecting the skin and the Langerhans cells against oxidative stress.
