Camellia sinensis is the botanical name for the plant from which all true teas (green, black,
oolong, and white) are made. When we talk specifically about white tea leaf extract, we’re
referring to the youngest, most delicate leaves of the plant — typically harvested before the
leaves are fully open and often covered with fine white hairs (hence the name “white tea”).

What is White Tea Leaf Extract?

White tea is the least processed of all teas. It’s simply plucked and allowed to wither and dry,
preserving a high level of antioxidants and polyphenols — especially catechins, which are
known for their skin-loving properties.

Skin Benefits of White Tea Leaf Extract:
1. High Antioxidant Protection
White tea is rich in catechins, flavonoids, and tannins, which help neutralize free radicals
that cause premature skin aging, dullness, and even DNA damage.
Think of it as a shield against pollution, UV damage, and stress.

2. Anti-Aging Power
The polyphenols in white tea can help slow down the breakdown of collagen and elastin,
the proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. This makes it a great ingredient for:

• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
• Improving skin texture and resilience

3. Soothing & Anti-Inflammatory
White tea has natural anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm irritated or sensitive
skin, reduce redness, and support the skin barrier.
Ideal for people with rosacea, eczema, or sensitive skin.

4. Antibacterial & Acne-Fighting
Some studies suggest that white tea may have mild antibacterial effects, which can be
helpful for acne-prone skin by reducing the growth of acne-causing bacteria and calming
inflammation.

5. Brightening & Skin Tone Evenness
Thanks to its gentle astringent nature and antioxidant content, white tea can contribute to a
more even skin tone and reduced pigmentation over time.

This unique marine water is enriched with minerals drawn at the heart of the rock during its unusual course: sea water rushes into the depths of the Earth and moves to the surface through the rocks to end on the French island of Noirmoutier.

The original journey of this marine water makes its composition unique (manganese, zinc, iron and lithium in particular) and enables it to have highly revitalizing, replenishing, stimulating and protective effects on the skin.

Active ingredient extracted from the brown algae Laminaria digitata is a mineral concentrate rich in trace elements that stimulates and energizes the skin.

Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba tree, a shrub found mainly in the Americas (especially Argentina). Its sebum-like composition gives it excellent affinity with the skin. Known for its emollient properties, it nourishes, softens and provides comfort.

Thanks to its emollient properties, glycerin provides the skin with softness and protection, increasing the skin barrier function.

Laminaria digitata (a type of brown seaweed, also known as kelp) is packed with skin-
loving nutrients.

Skin Benefits of Laminaria Digitata

• Deep Hydration
  Rich in polysaccharides like alginate and laminarin, which help to retain moisture in
  the skin. Forms a protective barrier that prevents water loss, making it great for dry or
  dehydrated skin.
  
• Mineral Boost
  Packed with iodine, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron.These minerals nourish
  the skin, support its natural regeneration, and maintain a healthy pH balance.
  
• Anti-Aging Properties
  Contains antioxidants like vitamin C and E and phlorotannins (seaweed-specific
  polyphenols).These fight free radicals, reduce fine lines, and support collagen
  production, keeping skin firm and youthful.
  
• Soothing & Anti-Inflammatory
  Naturally calming, making it ideal for sensitive, irritated, or inflamed skin. Can help
  reduce redness and improve conditions like eczema or rosacea.
  
• Detoxifying & Purifying
  Excellent at drawing out impurities and toxins due to its chelating properties. Helps to
  clear pores and balance oil production, making it useful for acne-prone or congested
  skin.
  
• Improves Skin Texture & Tone
  Encourages cell turnover and can gently exfoliate dead skin cells. Leaves skin looking
  smoother, brighter, and more even-toned.

Jojoba Tree (Simmondsia chinensis)
Let’s talk more about the amazing jojoba tree – it’s truly a desert gem and one of the best skincare ingredients nature has to offer. Jojoba tree is also called goat nut, deer nut, pignut, wild hazel, quinine nut, coffeeberry, and gray box bush. It is an evergreen, dioecious shrub native to desert regions (Arizona, California, Mexico, Argentina…). It can live uo to 100 years.The tree tolerates extreme temperatures and poor soil, making it ideal for desert reforestation and erosion control. Usually 3–6 feet tall, but can reach up to 10–12 feet in the wild. Dense, bushy growth with thick, waxy green leaves that help conserve water.

The tree produces seeds that contain a golden liquid wax – what we call jojoba oil (but technically it’s a liquid wax ester, not a true oil). The composition of jojoba oil is very similar to human sebum, which makes it incredibly compatible with skin.

Jojoba Skincare Benefits
