About

Dried and powdered flowers of the tea plant, containing floral antioxidants, polysaccharides, and trace caffeine in a concentrated dry form. Provides gentle antioxidant and soothing benefits in skin care formulations.

Camellia Sinensis Flower Powder is the dried, ground flowers of Camellia sinensis (tea plant). Tea flowers contain similar but distinct bioactive compounds from tea leaves, including specific flavonoids (camelliaside A-C), polysaccharides, and trace caffeine. Under EU Regulation 1223/2009, dried botanical powders are permitted. Tea flowers have been used traditionally in East Asia for skin care. The dried powder format provides concentrated botanical material with a longer shelf life than fresh flowers. Flower pollen allergens should be noted as a theoretical concern.
