What Is Green Tea Oil Infusion (Safflower)?
Green Tea Oil Infusion (Safflower) is the leaf of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis (family Theaceae), infused into safflower oil to yield an oil-soluble botanical ingredient. The green tea leaf is processed using Bio-Botanica's proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction method, which draws the lipophilic and full-spectrum constituents of the leaf into the safflower base while protecting heat-sensitive components. An oil infusion preferentially carries the leaf's oil-compatible and aromatic fraction into the safflower base rather than its water-soluble constituents, so the finished ingredient reflects the lipophilic character of green tea leaf; a full constituent profile for each lot is provided on the TDS.
Market Demand
Demand for tea-derived botanicals in personal care continues to expand as brands build around recognizable, plant-forward ingredient stories. Green tea leaf is one of the most recognized botanicals in personal care, and demand for tea-derived ingredients in skin and hair formats continues to grow as brands build around familiar, plant-forward stories. An oil-phase infusion is a practical building block for formulators translating that consumer familiarity into anhydrous and oil-based cosmetic lines.
Formulation Applications
Because it is carried in safflower oil, this infusion is designed for anhydrous and oil-phase systems rather than water-based ones. Formulators can incorporate it into facial and body serums, balms, salves, cleansing and massage oils, lip products, and the oil phase of emulsified creams and lotions. It also suits hair and scalp oils, pre-shampoo treatments, and beard formulations where an oil-soluble green tea leaf component is wanted. Its safflower base is high in linoleic acid and lightweight in feel, which helps it blend cleanly with other carrier and specialty oils in a formula.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Formulators source this green tea leaf infusion from Bio-Botanica because the same team has run botanical extraction from a single FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York since 1972. Every lot of the underlying extraction is verified with in-house HPLC and mass spectrometry testing, and the low-heat Bio-Chelated process is built to preserve the full-spectrum character of the leaf in the oil. Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification are available on qualifying material, and each sample ships with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA, and an SDS so R&D and procurement teams can qualify the ingredient against their own specifications.
Common Buyer Questions
What exactly is this ingredient?
It is green tea leaf (Camellia sinensis) infused into safflower oil. The botanical part is the leaf, not the seed or flower, and the finished ingredient is an oil-soluble infusion rather than a dried extract or a water-based liquid.
What is the carrier, and does it contain alcohol?
The carrier is safflower oil, and the product contains no alcohol. As an oil infusion it is an anhydrous, lipophilic ingredient, so it does not carry ethanol, glycerin, or water.
Is this product standardized to a specific compound percentage?
No. This is a full-spectrum, non-standardized oil infusion made with the Holistically Balanced approach, so it reflects the oil-soluble profile of green tea leaf carried in safflower oil rather than being standardized to a fixed compound level. Representative lot values are documented on the COA.
Which botanical species and part am I actually getting?
You are getting the leaf of Camellia sinensis, the same species used to make green, black, and oolong teas, in the family Theaceae. We name the part and species precisely so it is not confused with unrelated "tea" plants such as tea tree (Melaleuca).
What formats and formulations does it suit?
It suits oil-phase and anhydrous cosmetic formats: facial and body serums, balms, salves, cleansing and massage oils, lip care, and the oil phase of creams and lotions, as well as hair and scalp oils. It is not intended for direct use in purely water-based systems without appropriate formulation.
Is it water-soluble or oil-soluble?
It is oil-soluble. Because green tea leaf is infused into safflower oil, the ingredient disperses in oils and lipids and is meant for the oil phase of a formula, not for aqueous solutions.
Which industries and positioning categories does it fit?
It is aimed at Cosmetics and Personal Care formulators. Brands can position finished products around green tea's well-known botanical heritage and pair it with skin and hair care storytelling, while keeping consumer-facing claims within applicable regulatory limits.
Where does the botanical come from?
Camellia sinensis is native to East Asia, spanning southwestern China and the region reaching into northern Myanmar and northeastern India, and is now cultivated across major tea-growing regions. Specific country of origin for a given lot is available on the TDS.
What certifications are available?
Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification are available on qualifying material. Let the sales team know your certification requirements when you request a quote so the appropriate documentation can be confirmed for your lot.
What documentation ships with a sample?
Every sample ships with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA, and an SDS. These give R&D and procurement the compositional, quality, and safety details needed to evaluate the ingredient against internal specs.
How is it sold, and what about minimum order and sampling?
It is sold as a bulk ingredient to formulators and manufacturers. Pricing is available by requesting a formal quote — our team quotes to your volume and specifications. Request a sample and a quote, and the team will confirm sampling, minimum order, and lead time for your program.
Where is it manufactured?
It is manufactured at Bio-Botanica's FDA-inspected, cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York, where the company has produced botanical extracts since 1972 using its low-heat Bio-Chelated process, with in-house HPLC and mass spectrometry testing on every lot.
