Green tea extracts contain polyphenolic compounds which act on a number of biochemical pathways, therefore yielding anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic effects. Epigallocatechin-3- gallate is the primary active ingredient in the green tea. A study demonstrated that green tea extracts suppress mushroom tyrosinase, which may be responsible for the skin-lightening effect.Still, more studies are indicated to substantiate this data.
