Performance & Formulation Insights for Tea GDNA

How Tea GDNA Works

Tea GDNA leverages a powerful dual-action mechanism to deliver comprehensive skin benefits. The first component, plant-derived DNA, provides fragmented nucleic acids that serve as precursors for the skin’s own DNA support and repair pathways. When skin cells are impacted by UV exposure or oxidative stress, these botanical DNA fragments can support the skin’s natural processes to help maintain cellular health and vitality.

The second component, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, is rich in polyphenols, particularly EGCG. These compounds are exceptional antioxidants that neutralize free radicals before they can damage skin cells. Additionally, green tea extract helps inhibit tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, which supports a brighter appearance and helps reduce the look of dark spots.

Formulation Guidelines

Tea GDNA is a water-soluble liquid that is easy to incorporate into the water phase of cosmetic formulations. Add during the cool-down phase of manufacturing at temperatures below 40 °C (104 °F) to preserve its bioactive components. It is stable in a pH range of 4.5–6.5 and is highly compatible with common cosmetic actives such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C derivatives, enabling powerful, multi-functional formulas.
