From the tea fields of Java we purchase fresh green tea leaves that we use to render our green tea oil. This rich, green oil is added to the soap mixture at the end of the process as to preserve the tea's health enhancing benefits. Green tea is an extremely powerful antioxidant due to its high content of polyphenols, a class of bioflavonoid. Anti-oxidants aid in preserving a more youthful appearance by hindering the body's natural oxidation process of aging.
