THE COMPLEXE DES 4 THÉS®, AN EXCLUSIVE ACTIVE INGREDIENT

The Complexe des 4 Thés®  (4 Tea Complex) (C.4.T), is a exclusive biotechnology at the base of all our formulas which acts as a real antioxidant and antiradical shield.

It is extracted from 4 premium organic teas: WHITE TEA + GREEN TEA + BLACK TEA + BLUE OOLONG TEA.

Several international scientific studies demonstrate the effectiveness of Tea Polyphenols in the following actions:
- Anti-pollution: by neutralising free radicals and reducing inflammatory damage.
- Anti-ageing: by improving skin microcirculation and oxygenation of the dermis and protecting skin proteins, which helps to maintain skin elasticity.

CHARACTERISTICS AND VIRTUES OF OUR 4 TEAS

GREEN TEA

Popular in Asian countries (especially China, Japan and Korea) and with #healthygirls and #fitgirls, the natural oxidation of green tea is rapidly stopped after picking. This method allows the properties of the leaves to be better preserved. Stopping the oxidation of Tea leaves can be achieved using one of the following two methods:

  • The Chinese method, in which the leaves are heated in vats,

  • The Japanese method where oxidation is stopped with steam.

BLACK TEA 

Recognisable for its pronounced flavour and dark colour, Black Tea differs from other Teas due to its longer oxidation process. It undergoes a manufacturing process in 3 stages:

  1. wilting removes some of the moisture from the fresh leaves. This stage lasts from 18 to 32 hours.

  2. the rolling of the leaves has the effect of breaking the cells of the leaf which will release enzymes allowing for better oxidation.

  3. the leaves are left to rest for 1 to 3 hours in a warm and humid room, this is the oxidation process.

WHITE TEA

Because it undergoes no fermentation, White Tea is recognisable and renowned for its subtle and delicate taste. Some say it is the noblest of Teas.

White Tea is the least processed of all teas when compared to the fresh leaf of a tea plant. It undergoes only 2 stages, withering and drying, which allows it to preserve its properties. Along with Green Tea, it is the Tea category that offers the highest concentration of catechins.

BLUE TEA (OOLONG)

Oolong Tea is also called Blue Tea, in reference to the colour of the infused leaves. Oolong Tea is a semi-oxidized Tea: its oxidation has not been completed. For this category of Tea, ripe leaves are often used, which therefore contain fewer tannins and caffeine. Oolong is a Fujian specialty in China and Taiwan.

“Tea brings beneficial effects to the skin thanks to theine and polyphenols, two powerful antioxidants. Moreover, tea is very well tolerated in cosmetic use, and is not associated with any undesirable effects, either in terms of irritation or allergy. Such efficacy coupled with such skin safety has naturally inspired the formulation of a whole tea-based cosmeceutical range!»
