Benefits of Green Tea Extract for Health

You can not only drink it, but can also eat it. Green Tea can be consumed as an extract. Even though it is in the form of an extract, the benefits are the same as a cup of green tea. Thanks to its high antioxidant content, green tea extract has been shown to help improve health and body composition.

As said before, Green tea extract is a great source of antioxidants. These have been credited with a range of health benefits — from promoting heart, liver, and brain health to improving your skin and even reducing the risk of cancer. Green tea extract can also help you lose weight.

First, the high antioxidant content in green tea extract can reduce oxidative stress in the body. You do this by fighting cell damage caused by molecules called free radicals. This fact has been supported by comprehensive research.

Second, green tea extract can help improve heart health. The antioxidants in green tea extract can reduce inflammation and reduce blood pressure. Not only that, fat absorption can also be reduced if you consume green tea extract.

Third, green tea extract can also protect brain cells from stress. If this happens, the potential for mental decline and brain diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and dementia can be prevented and anticipated.

Fourth, green tea also contains a powerful antioxidant called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) that fights UV rays to help prevent skin cancer. That means it’s also a potent anti-aging ingredient that combats signs of aging.

Last but not least, green tea extract can reduce weight. Adequate content of catechins and caffeine can regulate hormones that can increase thermogenesis. This phenomenon makes the body more effective in burning calories.

In Indonesia, tea is a cultural beverage so the position of this sector is very strategic in the domestic market. Eventually, the domestic tea industry keeps growing due to high demand from local residents. 

Meanwhile, Indonesia is ranked 8th  as the world’s top tea producers in 2013. But, Indonesian tea has yet to be widely known abroad because most Indonesian tea is exported in bulk form. The export consisted of black tea and green tea, either fermented or not fermented. 

To make green tea products, we use some ingredients that are suitable for total dissolved solid (TDS). There are water, phenoxyethanol, glycerin,Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Potassium Sorbate, and Sodium Benzoate. 

All of these ingredients are safe to consume because our green tea products have a halal certificate. So, don’t worry about consuming green tea extracts to improve your health lifestyle and also fight against aging.

What is Skin Minimalism?

Skinimalism - You can probably guess by the name — a portmanteau of “skin” and “minimalism”. It’s a skincare concept that takes a minimalist approach by allowing your skin to show through. Basically, the concept is to embrace the skin texture, pores, blemishes, differences in skin color all shine, aka reveal the face as it is. By using fewer products, will not only save time, and money, but also, this eco-friendly trend, can generate less waste.

The essence of skinmalism itself is to throw away the ideals of beauty and the desire to cover all existing deficiencies. Skinimalism encourages you to go unfiltered and show off the real you.

How do you start a minimalist skincare routine for glowing skin?

First thing to do, is to simplify your skincare routine. Skinimalism means focusing on skincare products that benefit your skin. Focusing to the quality, instead of the quantity. Focusing on the main and basic skincare and functional skincare essentials for your specific skin type.

This skinimalism trend also encourages us to love and embrace our original skin, by using makeup as simple as possible so that our skin actually glows naturally.

Less is more when it comes to the best beauty practices. In fact, overdoing it with caked-on makeup or layering on too many skin-care products can worsen existing skin issues or create new problems.

In the end, it’s all about embracing your skin and allowing it be the focal point rather than hiding behind layers of makeup.
