Green Tea Hydrosol
INCI Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water
Overview
A light, softly grassy hydrosol distilled from green tea leaves.
What it is
Green Tea Hydrosol is the water collected when green tea leaves are steam-distilled. It carries a gentle, grassy, faintly sweet character.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Camellia sinensis is grown widely across East Asia. The water that condenses during distillation is collected separately as the hydrosol.
What it does in a formulation
As a light, fragrant water, Green Tea Hydrosol is used in place of some or all of the water in a formula, bringing a soft, grassy note into the finished product.
Why Lovebee uses it
Green tea’s calm, familiar reputation translates beautifully into hydrosol form — a gentle, understated note that suits formulas built around a sense of quiet.
