Products with Epigallocatechin Gallate

Epigallocatechin gallate is the green tea polyphenol that anchors the antioxidant side of Revision Skincare's Intellishade line.

Green Tea's Most-Studied Polyphenol, in Tinted SPF and Neck Care

Epigallocatechin gallate — usually shortened to EGCG — is the dominant catechin in green tea leaf extract. Topically it functions as an antioxidant, and it pairs naturally with sunscreen filters because the two address daytime exposure from opposite ends: filters block, antioxidants mop up afterward.

That pairing is why nearly every Intellishade tinted moisturizer carries it, including Intellishade Original SPF 45, Intellishade TruPhysical SPF 45 and Intellishade Matte SPF 45. Beyond sun care it shows up in Nectifirm Advanced and SkinBetter Science Techno Neck Perfecting Cream. Revision Skincare is by far the heaviest user of it in our store.

Is topical green tea extract the same as drinking green tea?

Not really. A cosmetic formula delivers a standardized concentration of EGCG directly to the skin surface, which is a different proposition from a brewed cup.
