About
A plant-derived cleansing extract that can help wash away oil and debris, but it may be a bit more reactive than bland emollients.
Camellia Sinensis Seedcake Extract is the extract of the seedcake of Camellia sinensis. Tea seedcake materials can carry saponin-like cleansing components, so they are used more like a mild plant-derived cleanser than a classic bland moisturizer. That is generally acceptable, but it can be more drying or reactive than a simple emollient extract.
