Green Tea Extract Powder is a concentrated, antioxidant-rich powder made from pure green tea, used mainly in DIY skincare and hair care as a face pack, toner, hair rinse or ingredient in creams and soaps. Azlok Green Tea Extract Powder is a 100% natural product with no fillers or additives, graded for edible and cosmetic use, and it starts at just Rs.299 for 100 grams.
Green tea gets its reputation from a group of plant compounds called polyphenols, especially catechins, which act as antioxidants. In simple terms, antioxidants help reduce oxidative stress on your skin, which is why green tea shows up in so many face washes, serums and hair products. A fine powder gives you the same base ingredient in a flexible, mix-it-yourself form.
What Green Tea Extract Powder is used for
This is a versatile ingredient for anyone who likes making their own beauty products at home or in a small business. Common uses include:
- Face packs and masks to soothe irritated or dull-looking skin.
- Acne-prone skin care, thanks to its astringent, gentle character.
- Anti-ageing formulations, where it is added for its antioxidant content.
- Under-eye and dark-circle blends, mixed into cooling masks.
- Hair rinses and hair masks that aim to reduce hair fall and control dandruff.
- Soap, candle and cosmetic making as a natural botanical additive.
Because it is a cosmetic-grade powder, most people reach for it as a topical ingredient rather than a supplement.
How to use it at home
Start small and keep your recipes simple. A little powder goes a long way.
Brightening face pack
- Take 1 teaspoon of Green Tea Extract Powder in a clean bowl.
- Add rose water, curd or honey to make a smooth paste.
- Apply an even layer, avoiding the eyes, and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Soothing toner or mist
Stir a pinch of the powder into cooled boiled water, let it settle, strain, and store in a spray bottle in the fridge for a day or two. Use as a light refresher.
Hair rinse or mask
Mix the powder into your hair mask base, or dissolve it in warm water and pour over freshly washed hair as a final rinse. Fans of green tea use this to support scalp health and manage dandruff.
