The Green Tea Oil-Free Moisturizer is expertly formulated to address the needs of oily and acne-prone skin by providing hydration without adding excess oil or clogging pores. The combination of active ingredients works synergistically to control sebum production, reduce inflammation, soothe irritation, and maintain optimal skin hydration.

Green Tea Extract (5%) is rich in polyphenolic compounds, particularly Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), which exhibits potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. EGCG inhibits the activity of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that stimulates sebaceous gland activity. This leads to decreased sebum production and helps control oiliness. Additionally, Green Tea Extract reduces inflammation by modulating the NF-κB signaling pathway, decreasing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and TNF-α.

Niacinamide (4%), also known as Vitamin B3, plays a crucial role in regulating sebum production by influencing lipid synthesis within sebaceous glands. It reduces the rate of triglyceride and fatty acid synthesis, leading to decreased sebum excretion. Niacinamide also enhances the skin barrier function by stimulating the production of ceramides and other intercellular lipids, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and improving hydration. Moreover, it reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and improves skin texture by promoting keratinocyte differentiation.

Aloe Vera Leaf Juice (10%) contains bioactive compounds like acemannan, a polysaccharide with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Aloe Vera soothes irritated skin by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway, reducing the synthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins such as PGE₂. It provides lightweight hydration by forming a protective barrier on the skin's surface, preventing moisture loss without clogging pores.

Sodium PCA (3%) is a naturally occurring component of the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). It is a hygroscopic molecule that attracts and binds water, enhancing skin hydration. Sodium PCA maintains the skin's softness and elasticity without leaving a greasy residue.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) (2%) is readily absorbed into the skin, where it is converted to pantothenic acid, a component of Coenzyme A. Panthenol acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin, and aids in repairing the skin barrier by promoting lipid synthesis. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing redness and irritation.

Allantoin (1%) is a diureide of glyoxylic acid known for its skin-soothing and healing properties. It promotes cell proliferation and aids in the repair of damaged skin tissue. Allantoin reduces irritation by inhibiting transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, which mediate sensory responses to irritants.

Glycerin (5%) is a trihydroxy alcohol that functions as a humectant. It attracts water from the environment and deeper skin layers into the stratum corneum via aquaporin-3 (AQP3) channels in keratinocyte membranes. Glycerin enhances skin hydration without adding oiliness, contributing to a soft and smooth skin feel.

Dimethicone (5%) is a silicone-based polymer that forms a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss while providing a silky, matte finish. It fills in fine lines and pores, creating a smooth surface without clogging pores or causing acne.

By combining these scientifically validated ingredients, the moisturizer effectively hydrates the skin, controls excess oil, reduces inflammation, and soothes irritation. The result is balanced, healthy-looking skin with a matte finish.
