White 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 green tea encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles discovered antineoplastic activity in the treated tumor cells. More information: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34280444/

Aromatic Profile
A fresh tea-leaf heart where delicate florals and herbaceous greenery sit over soft sweetness and understated wood.
Blending Direction
- Pairs with bergamot, mandarin, lemon, neroli and petitgrain for tea-citrus structures.

Formulation & Usage
Tea aroma comes from volatile compounds, while catechins such as EGCG are non-volatile constituents normally studied in leaf or beverage extracts. They should not be assumed to occur in the steam-distilled essential oil.
Required Verification

- Confirm leaf feedstock, steam distillation, Sri Lankan production origin, batch identity and any carrier.
- Set use level from the actual volatile and allergen profile.
Formulation
- Evaluate at low trial levels to retain its subtle floral-green character.
- Do not attribute catechin, EGCG, polyphenol or caffeine effects to the distilled oil without direct batch analysis.
- Do not convert cell-culture antitumor, antioxidant, slimming or metabolic research into consumer treatment claims.
