Yerba Maté

CLINICALLY STUDIED ACTIVES

What the research says

Yerba Maté is our antioxidant layer. Independent researchers have tested it in the lab and on skin. 

Antioxidant power

90%+

In a lab test, Yerba Maté extract cleared more than 90% of the free radicals it was tested against.

Skin hydration boost

60 min

An hour after applying Yerba Maté extract, forearm skin was more hydrated than skin left untreated. It was back to normal by the four-hour mark.

What is it

Yerba Maté is a leaf extract from Ilex paraguariensis, traditionally brewed as a caffeinated tea. It contains caffeine alongside polyphenols such as chlorogenic acid. It earned its spot in our range as the antioxidant layer - the part that goes after the free-radical damage that dulls hair over time.

How it works

Independent researchers have studied Yerba Maté extract in a lab, where it showed antioxidant activity. That work was done on the raw extract, not our finished formula, and not on a scalp.

Common Questions

Common Questions

Does the caffeine in Yerba Maté grow hair?

No. There’s no published human trial on hair growth, so that isn’t a claim we’ll make - and we’d be sceptical of any brand that does. Yerba Maté is our antioxidant layer; other ingredients in the range carry the hair-focused research.”

Is Yerba Maté the same as caffeine?

No. Caffeine is one component. The polyphenols are where the antioxidant research sits.”
