Matcha is well known as a traditional green tea, but it can also be a beautiful ingredient to incorporate into bath, body and skincare products.
At Fizz & Bubbles, we use matcha powder as a cosmetic ingredient to bring its naturally vibrant green colour and plant-based properties to selected handmade products.
What Is Matcha Powder?
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from green tea leaves. Unlike brewed green tea, where the leaves are steeped and removed, matcha uses the whole ground leaf.
This gives matcha its distinctive green colour and makes it naturally rich in plant compounds, including antioxidants.
Why Do We Use Matcha in Our Products?
Naturally Rich in Antioxidants
Matcha contains naturally occurring antioxidants, including compounds known as catechins. In cosmetic products, antioxidant-rich botanical ingredients are valued for helping support and care for the skin.
A Beautiful Botanical Ingredient
We love incorporating botanical ingredients into our products, and matcha fits beautifully into this approach. Its naturally green appearance gives products a distinctive botanical look without needing to rely solely on added colour.
Ideal for Gentle Exfoliating Products
Finely powdered matcha can be incorporated into products such as facial cleansing powders, face exfoliants and body polishes. When combined with carefully selected ingredients, it can form part of a gentle cleansing and exfoliating formulation.
A Lovely Addition to Bath & Body Care
Matcha isn’t limited to facial products. It can also be incorporated into bath soaks, bath milks, body polishes, balms and other handmade bath and body products.
Perfect for Lip Care
Matcha can also be used in selected lip care products, including lip balms, lip polishes and overnight lip treatments. Its natural colour and botanical character make it an interesting addition to everyday lip care.
More Than Just a Cup of Tea
While most people recognise matcha as something you drink, we love exploring different ways botanical ingredients can be incorporated into handmade bath, body and skincare products.
From facial care and body products to bath and lip care, matcha is a versatile ingredient that brings something a little different to our range.
