Hello everyone. I keep reading about topical green tea and topical white te extracts. Would just using tebags topically work? Or should I buy the extracts and if so where did you buy yours because I am unsure of where to buy these extracts. I have not found a source of these extracts in solution.

I have not used any of these 2 but think that the powder is soluble in either water, or Propylene glycol or ethanol.

Korean cosmetic companies offer a wide range of products with all sorts of extracts. Green tea is one of the most popular. Check Innisfree (should be easily available in the USA since asian beauty is so popular atm and Innisfree is the parade horse of it) and their Green Tea range. You can choose from toners, lotions, creams etc. I use their Green Tea Seed Serum with 75,9% green tea extract and green tea seed oil (208mg).
