Green tea is a celebrated botanical, valued for its rich concentration of polyphenols, antioxidants, and amino acids that support strong, resilient skin. Derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, this plant has been studied for centuries for its protective and restorative qualities. At LINNÉ, we source our green tea from China, where the leaves are harvested for their exceptional potency and purity. Its unique profile makes it a meaningful addition to our REVIVE Eye Emulsion, where its calming and brightening properties can best support the delicate orbital area.

At the core of green tea’s activity are catechin and proanthocyanidin, two polyphenols known for their ability to neutralize superoxide radicals and stabilize collagen. These compounds help safeguard the skin from environmental stressors, including UV exposure and pollution, while supporting firmness and overall skin vitality. This natural antioxidant activity helps maintain a clear, balanced, and luminous complexion.

Green tea also plays a valuable role in supporting microcirculation. Its ability to strengthen capillaries can encourage brighter, more even toned skin. This is especially helpful for the delicate orbital area, where thin tissue is more susceptible to changes in circulation and environmental fatigue. For this reason, green tea is a key ingredient in REVIVE Eye Emulsion, offering gentle support for brightness and comfort.

Its calming properties further enhance its value in skincare. Green tea contains natural anti inflammatory constituents that help soothe visible redness and ease irritation from screen time, stress, or environmental triggers. These same components can help reduce the appearance of puffiness around the eyes while promoting overall skin comfort.

While green tea is not a replacement for sunscreen, its antioxidant density provides an added layer of defense against UV induced oxidative stress. By supporting collagen integrity and helping maintain elasticity, it contributes to smoother texture and a more even, youthful appearance.

Green tea’s ability to hydrate, calm, and protect makes it suitable for all skin types. It helps balance oil production, refine texture, and maintain clarity. Its broad activity spectrum and gentle nature reflect the plant’s sophisticated chemistry and long history of use in wellness and skin care.

In REVIVE Eye Emulsion, green tea works alongside barrier supportive botanicals to nurture the orbital area morning and night. Consistent use helps brighten, soothe, and strengthen this delicate region while supporting overall facial radiance.

Green tea continues to be an important botanical in the LINNÉ collection, offering natural support for vibrant, resilient, and healthy skin.
