BLACK TEA EXTRACT BG

BLACK TEA EXTRACT BG is a plant derived ingredient that has shown effectiveness against unpleasant body odors and acne caused by various factors. BLACK TEA EXTRACT BG has potent anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties. It strongly inhibits the growth of resident skin microbiota like Corynebacterium xerosis and Micrococcus luteus known to produce malodorous compounds responsible for body odor like isovaleric acid. BLACK TEA EXTRACT BG also demonstrates strong anti-oxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting the oxidation of sebum, sweat and other compounds. This helps eliminate odors resulting from sebum oxidation. BLACK TEA EXTRACT BG at concentrations as low as 2.8% was found to inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, a bacteria implicated in acne. By regulating keratinization, inhibiting lipase activity and oxidation of fatty acids and other anti-inflammatory mechanisms, BLACK TEA EXTRACT BG can help control acne breakouts.
