What it is & what it does
Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside is a stabilized glucose-linked derivative of EGCG, the major antioxidant catechin associated with green tea.
WHAT IT IS: Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside is a modified green-tea catechin derivative used for antioxidant and skin-conditioning support.
WHAT THE SCIENCE SUPPORTS: The EGCG family has experimental literature exploring oxidative stress and inflammatory signaling. However, the glycosylated derivative is a distinct chemical form, and evidence for ordinary EGCG cannot automatically be treated as direct clinical proof for this modified ingredient in every serum.
IN A SKINCARE ROUTINE: Stability, delivery and the actual derivative used are central to an honest scientific explanation. Claims for one ingredient should not be presented as a proven result for every finished product.
