Matcha is a high-quality green tea which usually comes in a powdered form. Matcha first came from ancient China, but was highly popularized in Japan as part of the tea ceremony. Matcha has a very bright green color, its powder looks similar to dried wasabi, and it is considered to be one of the most powerful antioxidant ingredients!

Matcha is a very powerful superfood which contains an enormous amount of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids.

Powerful protection. Matcha contains a lot of antioxidants, which help to neutralize oxidation processes in the cells and prevent negative effects of free radicals and consequent premature skin aging.
Wrinkle and fine-line care. Continuing the talk about antioxidants, matcha contains flavonoids and Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is a very powerful antioxidant found mostly in green tea. EGCG apart from neutralizing the effects of free radicals, also helps to increase skin elasticity and boost collagen production, improve skin moisture retention and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Sebum control. EGCG and other antioxidant components of matcha help to control and reduce sebaceous gland activity and reduce oil production.
Deep nourishment and nutrition. The rich mineral and vitamin content of matcha makes it a great source of nutrition for our skin.
Deep cleansing. Matcha contains a high level of chlorophyll, which is an antioxidant that can effectively remove toxins and help cleanse pores.
