Black tea is very rich in catechins, which gives it its antioxidant properties, which act against cell aging, improves the quality of the skin and prevents the formation of wrinkles in advance. Catechins or Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) are present in white, green and black tea and help in the functioning of the immune system, in allergic and inflammatory processes. In Aromatherapy it has a relaxing and calming power.
Recent studies on the essential oil of Black Tea encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles discovered antineoplastic activity in the treated tumor cells. More information: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34280444/
Not for use during pregnancy, with the elderly, infants, or if epileptic. Possible skin irritant in some individuals; dilute well.

Composition & Quality Notes
Steam distillation would primarily collect volatile aroma compounds; it does not establish the presence of catechins or EGCG associated with non-volatile tea extracts. The study linked in the description concerns green tea essential oil in chitosan nanoparticles and experimental cell/mouse models, not this Black Tea oil or a consumer cosmetic.
- Request current GC–MS, COA, SDS, allergen and production-method documentation.
- Do not transfer catechin, collagen, anti-glycation, anticancer or other tea-extract claims to the volatile oil without direct evidence.
- Treat the 1–10% range as unverified until a category-specific safety assessment supports it.
