St. Croix Products Green Tea Extract 8 fl oz — Cold-Processed, Alcohol-Free Antioxidant Serum for Skin & Hair

St. Croix Products Pure Green Tea Extract is an alcohol-free, cold-processed antioxidant serum made from USDA organic Camellia sinensis leaves to support skin and hair formulations.

Made in small batches from gently dried organic green tea leaves, this concentrated extract delivers polyphenols and EGCG in a clean, water- and plant-glycerin base. It’s designed as a versatile ingredient for formulators and home DIYers who want a preservative-friendly, natural antioxidant boost without alcohol, fillers, or harsh chemicals. Keep it as a targeted treatment or blend it into creams, toners, conditioners, and leave-on products at recommended usage levels.

How does this green tea extract fit into everyday skin and hair routines?

This extract can be applied directly as a treatment or incorporated into existing products to enhance antioxidant content. Because it’s alcohol-free and cold-processed, it integrates smoothly into water-based serums, toners, and conditioners without altering texture or scent significantly.

• Use 1–2% in creams, lotions, and serums for routine antioxidant support.
• Add 1–2% to hair conditioners or leave-in sprays to enrich formulations.
• Apply a few drops directly to targeted areas as a concentrated touch-up.

What makes this extract different from ordinary green tea products?

St. Croix Products sources USDA organic Camellia sinensis leaves and processes them cold to preserve delicate bioactives like EGCG and other polyphenols. The formula uses purified water and plant-derived glycerin, avoiding alcohol and unnecessary additives to keep the extract pure and formulation-friendly.

• Cold-processed to retain heat-sensitive compounds.
• Small-batch production for freshness and consistent potency.
• Free from alcohol, synthetic fillers, and harsh chemicals.

How should I use this extract when making my own skincare or haircare products?

Measure carefully and incorporate the extract into the cool phase of emulsions or into water-based mixes to maintain stability. Follow recommended usage rates, and perform a small patch test when introducing a new ingredient to a formula or your routine.

• Recommended inclusion rate: 1–2% of total formula for daily products.
• Add during the cool-down phase below 40°C (104°F) to protect actives.
• Patch test before widespread use, especially for sensitive skin.

How should I store the product and what shelf-life tips matter?

Store the extract in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and maintain a tight cap when not in use. Because it’s crafted in small batches without unnecessary stabilizers, treating it gently helps preserve potency over time.

• Keep container sealed and refrigerated for extended freshness if desired.
• Use within the recommended period printed on the label after opening.
• Avoid contamination by using clean tools when dispensing.

Who this is for: formulators, beauty entrepreneurs, and DIY enthusiasts who want a clean, organic green tea extract to enhance the antioxidant profile of serums, toners, conditioners, and other leave-on products. It’s suited to those seeking alcohol-free, cold-processed ingredients sourced from USDA organic leaves and produced in small batches for reliable, natural performance.
