Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract · 5% aqueous hydroglycerin stock
Formulate Labs offers a fixed 5% hydroglycerin stock of Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, a powerful active revered for its key polyphenolic catechins, caffeine, and L-theanine. This INCI-standardized ingredient provides comprehensive cosmetic benefits, distinguishing it from broader trade names like Green Tea or Matcha.
Camellia Sinensis, the revered tea plant
Botanical Identity: Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract is derived from the leaves of the tea plant. Often referred to by popular trade names such as Green Tea or Matcha, Formulate Labs supplies the pure INCI-standardized extract, ensuring consistent quality and adherence to cosmetic regulatory standards rather than varied supplier SKUs.
Dual mechanism: The extract's primary mechanism involves potent redox modulation, where its catechins effectively neutralize damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS). It also supports the integrity of the dermal matrix by actively inhibiting degradation enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), collagenase, and elastase.
Use levels: For Formulate Labs' 5% hydroglycerin stock extract, a recommended use level of 1.0%–5.0% is advised to achieve optimal cosmetic efficacy. This guidance is consistent with industry recommendations for similar common hydroglycerin-based botanical extracts.
Market context: The market for Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract is mature, with competitors focusing on standardized efficacy with guaranteed EGCG and total catechins, eco-sourcing and sustainability credentials (COSMOS-certified organic, upcycled biomass, traceable supply chains), and niche functional targeting for applications such as scalp microbiome balancing, post-sun erythema soothing, and urban pollution defense.
Pricing context: Public B2B pricing data for cosmetic-grade Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract is limited. Premium liquid extracts, such as Formulate Labs' hydroglycerin stock, typically range from $20 to over $50 per kg, with final pricing influenced by factors like organic certification, EGCG standardization, and order volume. For example, a 1 kg order from Formulate Labs might be $48.00.
