Green Tea as a natural concentrated extract is dark brown in colour. Because JK Secret Cosmeceutics uses this extract in quantities sufficient to work on your skin, our skin care products have a light brownish tinge. We had a choice: we could cut down the quantity of green tea to bring you a pure white product. But in the end we are proud of our decision to use larger amounts of green tea in our formulations for their amazing benefits to the skin, even though our cream cannot be pure white as a result. Your skin will thank us for this decision.
