What Is It?

Epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, is a potent plant-derived ingredient most abundantly found in green tea. It is a type of compound known as a catechin, which is part of the larger family of polyphenols. In skincare, it is utilized for its properties that can help improve the appearance of skin. EGCG is often included in cosmetic formulas to complement the product's overall function of beautifying the skin and promoting a more radiant and healthy-looking appearance.
