What Is Green Tea Leaf Zea-Botanicals® Extract?
Green Tea Leaf Zea-Botanicals® Extract is a cosmetic-grade extract of Camellia sinensis leaf carried in Zemea — a plant-derived, corn-sugar propanediol prized for its clean sensory feel in skincare. It is full-spectrum and non-standardized, giving personal-care developers a naturally derived green tea active with a fully renewable carrier story.
Market Demand
Green tea is one of the most trusted botanicals in beauty, and the ingredient side is scaling with it — MarketsandMarkets forecasts the tea extract market to reach USD 4.36 billion by 2030. A Zemea-based liquid lets clean-beauty and green-chemistry brands feature a recognizable hero botanical alongside a bio-based, readily biodegradable carrier.
Formulation Applications
The water-compatible liquid works in facial serums, toners, mists, scalp and hair treatments, and mattifying gels, integrating into the aqueous phase without alcohol. Green tea supports revitalizing, clarifying, and refreshing skincare positioning — structure/function messaging for topical products, not a consumer health claim.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Operating from an FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York and family-owned since 1972, Bio-Botanica processes this leaf through its proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat extraction for a Holistically Balanced profile.
