Tea Saponin

Synonyms: Tea Saponin, Camellia sinensis extract, Tea seed saponin, Tea saponins, Camellia saponin, Theasaponin, Tea polyphenol saponin

Tea Saponin is a natural non-ionic surfactant extracted from the seeds, roots, and leaves of Camellia sinensis, the same plant that gives us green tea. It is a mixture of triterpenoid saponins, primarily theasaponins, and is standardized to various purities (60%, 80%, 90%, 98%) to suit different industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Unlike synthetic surfactants, tea saponin is biodegradable, mild, and well-tolerated, making it a preferred choice for formulators seeking natural alternatives.

With a global shift toward green chemistry and clean-label products, tea saponin has gained traction in personal care, agriculture, and food processing. Its unique combination of surface activity, emulsification, and biological properties allows manufacturers to replace or reduce synthetic ingredients without compromising performance. As a leading supplier, LyvBio offers high-purity tea saponin with consistent quality and full regulatory support.
