SKIN TEA
- 100% Natural
- Ethically Crafted
- Carbon NEUTRAL
LINNÉ SKIN TEA features a delightful selection of organic and biodynamically farmed flowers, fruits, leaves, and seeds. These flavorful, caffeine-free herbs are rich in essential minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, providing support for both the skin and overall health.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
With antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antispasmodic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory qualities, these plant ingredients are known to protect the body from environmental damage, slow down the aging process, promote a glowing complexion, and strengthen nails. Additionally, they soothe the skin and improve skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, and boils.
Beyond skin deep, the ingredients in our blend support various bodily systems, including the immune, cardiovascular, lymphatic, endocrine, metabolic, respiratory, uterine, nervous, and gastrointestinal systems. As a bonus, this blend has properties to help purify the blood, build strong connective tissue, stimulate concentration and focus, and promote relaxation.
WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
LINNÉ SKIN TEA is sold loose as whole flowers, leaves, seeds, and fruits for several key reasons:
1). Tea bags often contain the "dust" that falls on the floor and leftovers from the production of loose-leaf tea. We use only extraordinary quality whole ingredients to create potent, delicious, and nutritious beverages.
2). While there are some pyramid-style tea bags that allow for larger particles, the highest quality tea will never be found in bags. Quality tea and herbal infusions need room to unfurl and absorb water.
3). Paper tea bags can be coated with dioxin, epichlorohydrin, or bleached in chlorine. Plastic tea bags contain plastics like PVC or nylon that can leach chemicals when steeped.
4). To optimize your SKIN TEA experience, we recommend an extended steeping period in a vessel such as a teapot with a deep and wide steep basket or in a French press. Because our flowers, leaves, fruits, and seeds are freshly packed and premium grade, SKIN TEA can be re-infused multiple times.
FORMULATION WHY
As a brand that acknowledges the profound link between skin health and overall well-being, we aimed to develop an ingestible that directly and indirectly enhances the vitality of our largest organ. Creating SKIN TEA was an enjoyable research endeavor, reminiscent of my early days studying botany and herbal medicine. While primarily intended for drinking, SKIN TEA can also be used creatively, such as in the bath or infused into a facial steam.

Is SKIN TEA caffeine free?
Yes, SKIN TEA is made exclusively from organic and biodynamically farmed flowers, fruits, leaves and seeds that are free from caffeine.
How often can I drink SKIN TEA?
For best results, consume 8-24 oz of SKIN TEA daily, whether hot, room temperature, or cold. You can mix it with other beverages, enjoy it with food, or sip it on an empty stomach. As with all herbs, be sure you have no allergies to the ingredients. If you are pregnant, we recommend consulting your physician or midwife before consumption.
