What is this
Green Tea
Green tea is the unoxidised leaf of Camellia sinensis, the tea plant, whose extract is one of skincare's most studied botanicals. Naturally rich in polyphenols called catechins, including EGCG, it helps defend skin from environmental stressors and supports a calmer, fresher, more even-looking complexion.
Where is it found
Himalayan Valley, Nepal
In The Nine Aurora's Himalayan beauty zone, tea grows slowly. On terraced hillsides in Nepal's high valleys, Camellia sinensis unfurls leaf by leaf through cool mist and strong mountain light — a rhythm that concentrates its precious polyphenols. The young leaves are still picked by hand, one flush at a time, a harvest that rewards patience over speed.

Questions about green tea
Is green tea good for your skin?
Yes — green tea is one of the most researched botanicals in skincare. Its polyphenols, especially the catechin EGCG, are prized antioxidants that help defend skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV-generated free radicals, supporting a fresher, calmer, more even-looking complexion.
What does green tea extract do in skincare?
It works mainly as an antioxidant and comfort ingredient: it helps neutralise free radicals, soothes the feel of stressed skin and helps rebalance the look of shine. That is why it appears across our cleansers, mist, creams and mask rather than in one product type.
Is green tea good for oily or blemish-prone skin?
It is a favourite for this. Green tea helps rebalance the look of oily, congestion-prone skin, visibly refining and mattifying without stripping. Skin looks fresher and more even, while staying comfortable enough for gentler skin types to enjoy the same formula.
Does green tea help the look of tired eyes?
Green tea naturally contains caffeine and soothing polyphenols, which is why it is a classic in eye formulas. It helps the eye area look fresher and less puffy — a visible, cosmetic effect that builds with consistent morning use.
Is applying green tea better than drinking it?
For skin appearance, research attention centres on topical use, where polyphenols are delivered directly to the surface that needs them. A cup of tea is a beautiful ritual; a well-formulated extract is how skin most directly receives green tea's antioxidants.
