African black soap has long been praised for its gentle cleansing and healing properties. But when you infuse it with green tea — scientifically known as Camellia Sinensis, you unlock a new level of skincare. This ingredient, revered in traditional medicine and backed by modern science, is a game-changer for everything from acne and inflammation to dullness and ageing.

What is Camellia sinensis?
Camellia sinensis is the botanical source of all traditional teas; green, black, white, and oolong. Green tea extract is the most potent form in skincare, prized for its rich antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial profile.

Why It Belongs in Your Skincare Routine
Here’s why green tea is one of the most trusted natural ingredients for skin health:

1. Antioxidant Shield
   Green tea neutralizes free radicals, slowing down ageing, sun damage, and pigmentation.
2. Inflammation Defense
   Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated, sensitive skin and help reduce redness and swelling.
3. Blemish Control
   With natural antibacterial properties, green tea fights acne-causing bacteria while reducing oil production — perfect for breakout-prone skin.
4. Tightening & Toning
   Green tea helps shrink pores, refine texture, and tone the skin, making it look refreshed and healthy.
5. Barrier-Friendly Hydration
   Unlike many actives, green tea supports moisture retention and keeps your skin barrier intact.
