Tea, after water, is the most widely consumed drink in the world. This popular beverage, made by infusing dried Camellia sinensis leaves in water is perceived to have strong health benefits.

Ashland have a new and sustainable extraction technology that supports the concentration of active molecules straight from freshly harvested tea leaves. This new biofunctional, known as infini’tea™, enjoys a unique molecular signature, rich in phyto-molecules such as catechins and theanine, known for their anti-oxidant and calming properties.

The in vitro biological evaluation on cell viability and on inflammation markers has shown that infini’tea™ can help reduce the effect of an excitotoxin, the glutamate neurotransmitter. Additional testing supports that infini’tea™ can help increase neurotrophic factors that are, likewise, increased with the practice of meditation and yoga. Volunteers using a cream containing infini’tea™ have perceived the improvement of skin luminosity, suppleness and hydration and the evaluation of their skin oxidation levels further supports the anti-oxidant properties of infini’tea™.

Please join us to learn more about infini’tea™, in this sessions, you will learn:

• hear more about Ashland’s proprietary Zeta Fraction™ extraction technology
• find out how infini’tea™ biofunctional extract is different from green and black tea extracts
• discover more about theanine, a glutamate excitotoxin antagonist
• we will share a neurocosmetic approach that is mimicking “yoga” for the skin
